Visit Lake San Marcos

Lakehouse Resort
The rooms are spacious and beautiful. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I love all the things included with the room like the little s’mores kit, the kayaking, welcome drink, etc. Definitely will be coming back. It’s a beautiful hidden gem.

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Diego La Jolla
Staff was great, no issues. Nice clean room and bed, shower had weird tiny tub. Parking is 47$ a night, pretty ridiculous. Next time I’d just park on the road outside the property. Not bad at all for the price per night though, would recommend.
