How can I get cheap hotels in San Marcos?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in San Marcos

  1. If you're looking to travel to San Marcos on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $55. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $174. Staying a short amount of time in San Marcos is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.

  2. When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in San Marcos, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.

  3. When booking cheap hotel rooms in San Marcos, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.

  4. When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in San Marcos, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.

  5. For additional savings on San Marcos cheap hotels, be sure to check out Expedia Rewards. You may be eligible for extra discounts on your trip, and you can earn points for even more savings on your next trip. Becoming a member is entirely free.

    5/5 Excellent
    Pooh’s travels
    "2 day stay over Thanksgiving. Very pleased with this hotel. Good, easy to find location. Cameras on all sides of the parking lot, so felt secure. Check in to less than 3 minutes. The room has plenty of space and the King size bed was very comfortable, although I would’ve been ok with another pillow or two. Plenty of room and lighting in the bathroom and good pressure from the shower. You are able to use Netflix on the room tv and the Showtime app is active and free. My only issue is the breakfast options. I would’ve liked to have seen some eggs and sausage or bacon. A waffle maker would be nice- the waffles are packaged and are made via the toaster. Standard coffee options with flavored creamer. Oatmeal is basically the only hot option, but it was good. Fresh fruit is available. The fitness room/gym is roomy with plenty of options for those interested. Overall a great hotel and we will be staying here again in the future "
