We were in San Marcos for our daughter's graduation and choose this property due to good location and price. We got in late, about 10:00 PM and were exhausted from a long day at work and a long drive. We noticed a strong citrus smell in the hall on the way to the room but when we opened the door... More

I can only reiterate what I said in my response to your survey submission; I sincerely wish you had informed us of the problem. It is most certainly not our intention to inconvenience our guests at ANY TIIME during their stay, much less their entire stay! There were several choices available to alleviate your discomfort during your stay ie: we... More

I have used the Best Western chain forever and have always had good reviews of it. This one on I-35 is terrible. From the smel in the room (which we never figured out), to the VERY tight breakfast area, very small amount of breakfast choices, and overall cleanliness of the hotel. I knew before hand it would have some road... More

I am in the aviation business. This hotel is my home away from home and has been for quite some time. Mr. Patel and his entire staff are very accomodating and Sean at the front desk is amazing. The maids are wonderful. It might not be the 5 star hotel you may be accustomed to, but I would choose this... More

We arrived very late at night and were so welcomed by the man at the desk and the inviting room. The bed was very comfy and the room was clean. Breakfast was typical fare with make your own waffles bagels, donuts and cereal. Would stay again- great location!

We stay in hotels 4 or 5 days a week. The staff at this Best Western is awesome. Rooms and bathrooms very clean. They seem to go out of their way to mke our home away from home more enjoyable. I recommend this hotel.

We stayed here because rates were $50 cheaper than in New Breunfals - we were spending our days at the Schlitterbahn. A nice family operated place. The owner was very friendly. The room was clean and had good air conditioning. Had older TV no LCD but we didnt even turn on the TV. Fridge in room was a plus. I... More

The title pretty well sums it up. We stopped in San Marcos last year and stayed here as well. And were happy with the motel. This trip we were driving back from Corpus, needed to stop, the motel was full but the manager found us a cancellation. Cordial front desk and good breakfast, the generic BW complimentary breakfast, complete with... More

About 7-10 days after we got home, we noticed bed bugs had infiltrated our home. We looked up how long they take to mature and, sure enough, it was 7-14 days. So, now, we get to pay for extermination and possibly new mattresses after having recently purchased them. Absolutely one of the worst experiences of my life. I will never... More
