Old motel but comfortable and great staff.

First of all, this hotel is old and located directly next to IH35. With that being said, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was as clean as it could be. There was soap, shampoo. The bed was comfortable. But the best part? The air conditioning worked fantastically. Overall, for the price, it was a good experience and I would recommend.

We only stayed one night but the room didn’t look like it had a good cleaning in a while. The toilet and shower were clean but the floors were not that great. We had a “soft spot” in the carpet where the floor sunk in when you walked across it, which was concerning since we were on the second floor. There were birds nesting in the bathroom vent and the nesting material was falling through onto the towels. The beds were ok….hard, firm mattresses and made nicely. The chairs in the room were very stained and very wobbly and the table wasn’t much better. I do not like leaving negative reviews but this place needs some attention from the owners.

I feel the carpet floor, ceiling boards and wall partitions are infested with cockroach eggs that the only solution is to burn this place down. Avoid at all costs. At least the parking lot was alright and car was safe. Checked out 5am just to get out of there. Still have nightmares 18 months later

Great location but needs better cleaning!!!

My boyfriend & I stayed here for one night on the weekend 7/29/22. Visiting San Marcos for the first time, the location was great for the activities we were doing throughout the day. Upon arrival the room smelled. It wasn’t a really bad smell but it wasn’t a clean smell either. I thought that was the only issue which I let it slide since it wasn’t bothering. The water force to shower is nice, had no trouble with the restroom. Once we got back at night time, my bf put his phone to charge & after a while when we were getting ready to go to bed, we saw an insect (cricket) on top of his phone!!! Then I kept looking around and on the carpet, along the wall there were dead rollie pollies!! Went over to check for any bed bugs but there weren’t any. I was disappointed, don’t think I will stay here again.

I don’t ever write reviews, but this hotel was BAD! They have tried to fix the rooms up, but did an awkward job. I think at one point it might have been abandoned or condemned, judging from the moody smell, cracks in the roof, watermarks down the walls and soft spots in the floor. The room was not as advertised, and the full kitchen had zero dishes, utensils, or anything to cook with or on. Bizarre! When we checked in at 4, the AC was off and the room about 100 degrees (we were prebooked). The property is on the frontage road to a very busy interstate, so if traffic noise bothers you, not your place. Strongly do not recommend!

Last minute nightmare...

It was late when I got there with just me and my 2 girls. I was given the very last room on the top floor, farthest away from the office. I asked the lady at the desk if there were any open rooms so we could be moved closer to the office as I would feel safer not at the very end. She told me that there were absolutely no rooms left available which I found odd being there weren’t very many cars in the parking lot. I thanked her & got my key cards. After me & the girls drug our suitcases up the stairs & got in our room, we all noticed something dark on the bed, even with the lights off in the room. When we turned the lights on to inspect, it was a blood stain on the comforter the size of my palm. I was disgusted. I immediately called the front desk to let them know but the man who answered talked to me in a tone as if I was a bother to him. He asked if I wanted to switch comforters or rooms. I questioned him because I was just told 5 minutes prior that there weren’t any rooms available but that I did want to move if possible. I went and got my key from the front desk for my NEW room that was CLOSER to the office after hauling our luggage back down the stairs and back in my car. All of this exposed me & my girls even more, the new room also had a few red spots on the comforter so I just took it off & the room was nasty hot. I was so tired from driving 3 hours that I grabbed my blanket & delt with what I got bc there weren’t any other hotels available. I will never go there agai.
