The staff was great. Our biggest complaint was there was not a refrigerator, but we knew that going in. The odd thing was there was not hairdryer! The bed was comfortable, the air conditioner was amazing, the pool and area was clean.

Expedia showed that it was supposed to be $50 a night, and I was charged $125 and so I had assumed that it was for two nights. When I got to the front register I was told that it was for one night and so I was very disappointed. The room was a small room did not have a mini fridge! Did not have a microwave! If I wanted to warm up something I had to go to the front office. If I wanted coffee I had to go to the front office. The cops were only about sixth ounce maybe 8. Overall it was a horrible experience!!! I will never visit San Marcos ever again!
