Outside building and yard could be spruced up, people fixing vehicles in parking lot. Dead roaches in light fixtures. Fairly quiet though considering it was on the access road.

This motel 6 charges a $100 pet deposit. There is no signage for this fee, they tell you about it after you book the room and go to check in. Also, if they have to wash the sheets after your stay they keep the pet deposit. Kinda figured washing the sheets was just part of the deal. Do yourself a favor and search for motel 6 north in San Marcos. Larger rooms, no hidden pet fee, nice manager.
