Room was fine. The doors open to the outside. Shower was great. Parking was very limited. There was basically no vending or snacks available on premises.
Clean, quiet rooms. Perfect for a quick overnight stay.

This was not a fancy property, but the staff was extremely friendly, the room was comfortable and clean, and the price was very reasonable – so everything we needed for our overnight in San Marcos.
The property was clean and staff were very friendly. There’s free breakfast. Get there early before it runs out. The doors are external so make sure to view the pics.
