Stay was doable. The room was not so clean. Carpet had not been vacuumed. Room was extremely hot. It took most of the night to cool the room.

Last minute trip to San Marcos for the TXST Football game. Limited hotel opportunity for the weekend. Stayed at the San Marcos Inn and was surprised. Room was clean, comfortable and had easy access to the game. Outside appearance not too exciting.

Cockroaches at the check-in window and moldy odor in the bedroom. After using the bathroom, I decided to take my family to another hotel down the road. My son laughed and said Dad that’s the most expensive bathroom break you’ve ever taken..

I never could get the door to lock , so, I didn't feel safe all night. The bed was rock hard .Standing outside in the heat to check in is harsh to expect of the clientele .I feel the rate was too high. I'm considering some other place to stay for my next trip to San Marcos

this unit was overall dated and it surely smelled like it. the area was so bad, there was no soap provided and the towels and bedding were so old and musty. Apart from this the staff was unnecessarily rude on the phone. And the check in lady insisted on charging us more for our room because my father was helping us bring in luggage and that counted as an extra charge because it was more than two people in the room
