Definitely not worth the money
Our room smelled like someone had recently fried food inside the room, the blankets are poor quality, they are thin and scratchy and very uncomfortable. It was a non smoking room but it had multiple burn marks in the carpet. The pool had a film on the tiles that made it look like it’s not being cleaned properly.

Excellent Last Minute Booking
Front Staff were excellent. Room was quiet and well maintained. Continental breakfast was adequate but could use an upgrade with a few more options.

San Marcos stay
Good location near the rivers and swimming holes. Nice bed. Check in was odd. Had a problem checking in and they double charged me on the hold. My credit card removed it.
