"Palmer’s Guest House was clean, cozy, and perfect for two people to stay in. The rustic interiors were lovely, the bed was comfortable, and the location was great. Kristin was very accommodating and threw in a complimentary bottle of wine and a voucher to the restaurant. We had the Sunday Brunch and it was a great meal in a beautiful restaurant. We’ll be staying here again next time we’re in San Marcos."

"This glamping dome in San Marcos completely exceeded our expectations! It’s the perfect blend of modern comfort and country charm, especially if you are traveling with kids.The inside was incredibly cozy and well-equipped with a plush king bed and a full kitchen, but the outdoor amenities absolutely stole the show. This place has a clean hot tub everyone can enjoy under the stars, cooling off in the cowboy pool, and a grill out on the patio.The absolute highlight, though, was the animals!...

Baymont Inn & Suites by Wyndham San Marcos Outlet Malls

8/10 Good
"The room looked like it had been remodeled recently…modern and clean. The only issue was that both beds made a noise each time it was sat on or when turning/repositioning in the night. At check out the desk clerk asked us about our stay and we very attentive to what we’re had to say about the mattress. He thanked us for staying and we overheard him asking for someone to look into our comments about the beds."
