10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham San Marcos Outlet Mall

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed our stay. No complaints"

Holiday Inn San Marcos-Convention CTR Area by IHG

8/10 Good

"Great staff and very clean rooms and properly with plenty of parking. Only issue I had is the same with every San Marcos hotel I’ve stayed at located just off I-35. Horrendous road noise 24 hours a day and finding a room with least amount of noise isn’t easy. Come prepared or get ready for a long noisy night."

Wingate by Wyndham San Marcos

10/10 Excellent

"A great place to stay when in San Marcos. Clean rooms, friendly staff and delicious breakfast."

Homewood Suites by Hilton San Marcos

8/10 Good

"Everything was great, except the bed which was hard and uncomfortable for me (bad shoulders). Lobby coffee was TERRIBLE and the breakfast was meh. The gym was an excellent surprise, given that there were no pictures or mentions of it on expedia leaving me to think it didn't have one. Actually it large and has 5-55lb dumbell sets, 2 each of ellipticals and treadmill's and full cable pully weight system. Tons of mirrors, slam/exercise balls."

"We loved this house. Short drive to downtown and river, comfy beds, luxurious linens, very very very clean, quiet eclectic neighborhood, and everything you might need for a comfortable stay. I loved sitting on the front porch and under the oak tree."

Signature Sunlit 2BR 2BA | Open Concept

10/10 Excellent

"This was a nice place to stay for a couple of nights. The gym was functional and fairly modern, although lacking a lat-pull down, which is odd, but there were multiple pull up bars, so no biggie. I’d stay here again."
