Top San Marcos Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham San Marcos

4/10 Poor

"I stayed in room 138, it was humid in the room the entire time I was there. The plug situation left a lot to the imagination, you had to leave certain light switches on in order for the refrigerator to work as well as the plug in the bathroom area. The mattresses were lumpy. I did feel safe and the front office staff was very courteous. Had I not been as tired as I was at the end of my day in San Marcos I might have switched hotels. I will say, after a day at the river, this might have been a fine accommodation for a group of friends, but for 2 older ladies, it left a lot to be desired."

Candlewood Suites San Marcos by IHG

4/10 Poor

"They were so rude when I arrived. There was a problem with checkin, and I had to talk to a manager to resolve it. I have never been spoken to so dismissively and rudely. When I got to my room, it was disgustingly dirty, and smelled like mold. The pool was out of commission. The ac was stuck on and wouldn’t turn off, it was a cold weekend. I requested maintenance come look, they never did. It was so cold in the room. There’s a little pantry where you can buy snacks, when I bought them there, the staff never even looked up from their phone to ring me up. The day before I checked out, I requested and paid for a late check out at 12:30 rather than 11am because I had a zoom meeting that I wanted to take in the room. I confirmed it with the front desk two times, once the morning before check out, and once the evening before check out. Housekeeping started banging on the door at 11am. I informed them of my approved late check out. They knocked again at 11:15, 11:30, and noon. I rescheduled the meeting and just left. I would not stay there again."

Comfort Suites Near Texas State University

4/10 Poor

"Room was fine, quite comfortable. Pool was in front of the hotel and green with algae. Front door was off the track. Elevator was in poor condition (buttons falling off, musty smell, no a/c). Breakfast was sub-par. Eggs tasted rubbery and pre-cooked/reheated. Staff was inconsistent with communication regarding late check-out, which caused stress trying to figure out check-out situation."
