We stayed at this motel for our mini vacation. We had two family so we had multiple rooms. Both rooms were clean n smelled fresh. It was not that costly motel so we had a great deal. Location was perfect as we came for shopping n downtown . All staff was great helpful n friendly.

We have stayed for 3 nights in March during the spring break. The Hotel was dirty. No hot water to take shower with. The TV remote control didn't work. Didn't have extra plows. Don't get fooled by continental breakfast. You would get only danish roll. Coffee was taste awful. Overall, it's not a cool place.

On the positive side, this motel has a good location. It's close to downtown San Marcos, and walking distance from the bus/train station, which is the reason I stayed here. The staff was nice and accommodated most of my requests. However... the room was dirty, the bed was very uncomfortable, and the pool was dirty. And what they advertise as... More

I've stayed at this motel with a group two times on our way back from missions trips to México. In March 2011 (first floor rooms facing the street), it seemed quite the average motel—nothing to grin about, but nothing to complain about either. However, in June 2012 (second floor facing the back), it was a different story. First of all,... More

We were in San Marcos for my grandson's graduation from TSU and made reservations at this hotel for our family. On arrival the first impression was a dirty hotel. My room was extremely shabby and when I turned down the sheets, there were "nose pickings" on the sheet. I went to the front desk and asked for our money back... More

I booked 4 rooms for F1 Race weekend over a year ago and paid $44.00 per night. Being a Diamond Elite Member at Choice Hotels I thought I would be getting the best room out of the bunch. This room had a kitchenette teaming with roaches and smelled like cigarette smoke. The 3 things I count on for Choice Hotels... More
