This hotel was one of the best in San Marcos. We stayed for my daughter’s New Student Orientation and it was only 8 minutes away from the school! The service was great as well.

The property itself and staff were great, only thing I didn’t like was the street to be exit to the main road the view is blacked by brushes and it’s hard to see oncoming traffic.

A group of us was tubing the river nearby and decided to stay a night rather than drive four hours home and we are glad we did! At least for our experience, everything was great! The hot tub and pool was nice. The staff was welcoming and friendly. The beds were comfy and the room we had fit four people comfortably. However, I think it is near a railroad because we would hear a train throughout the night but besides that, we slept fine. There is multiple food options near by as well.
