My stay was pleasant, besides for one major turn-off: There was an odd musty smell in the room that might have come from the air conditioning unit, and the odor became more pungent when you run the A/C. On the bright side, You're not far from downtown San Marcos and other activities around town.

Its a college town hotel

The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The aerator was missing on the sink so water sprayed when turned on. The waffle machine was great but hated the coffee. It was coffee colored water.. instant obviously.

Football stay

It was a short stay, but the service was good and pleasant. We went for a high school football game so we didn't spend much time there. But over all it was good.

This was the most expensive dirty room I ever stayed in because they charge people and don’t even fix the room - broken lights, broken faucet I did’nt know that there are hotel rooms you can smoke inside - no smoke detectors. What a trashy way to treat your guests.should be renamed “Dirty Inn” not Quality Inn.

There was a stain on the underside of our sheets. I don’t even want to say what it looked like but it rhymes with bum. Very disgusting. When I told the owner, she very casually apologized. No big deal.
