Didn’t like every other day housekeeping. Pool not accessible. Left a Michael Kors pocketbook (wristlet) in the closet on the shelf upon checking out and housekeeping didn’t turn it in. Several phone calls were made and we were told someone would call us back and no one did. Also a glue trap was left between the cabinet and refrigerator with several bugs on it when we checked in. Front desk and housekeeper were notified and it was still there when we checked out.

On 4/5, the toilet broke and the property manager could not repair the toilet until the next afternoon. So, we were told to use the bathroom facilities in the lobby and were given access to a unit 2 floors above ours for toilet access. I told manager that it was not satisfactory. We are seniors and having to use the toilet in places other than our room was a hardship. The Assistant General Manager, Jacob Jutkins, agreed to refund the larger room's night stay and explained that would be more than happy to explain the situation to Expedia. The refund had to be made by your business. So, we now await your business to make the adjustment. If I do not hear from you within 48 hours, I plan to call Customer Service.

Greetings Mr. Molina,Please accept our sincerest apologies for the inconveniences that you experienced during your stay. It is unacceptable what was asked of you, and that is not in any way indicative of the service our guests deserve. I see on your folio that you were refunded the larger room's night as Jacob promised. I will email you another copy of your folio now reflecting the refund that was made on the day you checked out of the hotel. If there is anything else we can do to assist you further please do not hesitate to reach out. Safe travels.

Studio king was clean and spacious. I liked the room for the kitchen and comfortable bed. Each night was quiet. I stayed on 4th floor for 4 days. Staff were kind and welcoming and breakfast was good each day with plenty of options such as egg soufflé, cheese omelette or scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage and turkey sausage.

We stayed here to attend a wedding. This facility was a place to sleep and get to the wedding. Not a vacation. The free breakfast was fair the waffles and bacon was one. Found the staff was very helpful. When we got the into the room we found that the bathroom sink had a slow drain. We called the front desk and they sent someone to take care of it asap. Easy parking and easy to get around quickly. The facility is a little tired and needs some updating.

Nice employees. But the hotel needs work.
It was ok. The room had a desperate need of updating. Everything was kind of old and sad. Then there was an alarm early in the morning that turned out to be a water leak. But we all ran out as we thought it was a fire. So there should have been some employees directing people. Then we had no water the rest of the day. Should have got credit for a free room.

My family and I stayed for 1 night and our kids loved the room. I still couldn’t believe that we got that room; king bed with a pull out; for the price we did. We had to change our reservation from 12/22 to 12/29 because we all got sick before Christmas but it ended up working out better for us in the long run. We loved the fact that the room had a microwave, full fridge with ice maker, utensils, and a dishwasher. The breakfast was awesome and had a bit of everything. My kids enjoyed hot fluffy and fresh made waffles along with bacon and juice. While the wife and I had eggs, muffins, fruit and coffee. Overall the staff was nice and friendly, we had no problems checking in and had all our questions asked. We will definitely be staying there in the future whenever we travel that area again.

Suggest you rotate and flip over the mattresses. Foot rest at the couch/daybed

Greetings William, thank you so much for staying with us and for offering this valuable feedback. I am sorry to hear if your mattress seemed uneven, all mattresses in the hotel were replaced less than 60 days ago so they should be in excellent condition. We will follow up on the mattress in the room where you stayed. We agree that a footrest would be a valuable addition to our guest rooms and will consider that in our future hotel renovations. Thank you again for the opportunity to host you here in San Marcos, CA, and we hope to have the opportunity again in the future!

2/10 Terrible

We have not used the property and still changed the full price for all the days. Because of sudden sickness, we had to cancel the trip. Yes, property can charge some penalty but charging full price is unfair. And do not understand what is the advantage of booking through Expedia, if they can not help their customers in such situations ? When called the property they say talk to Expedia as booking through them. And when called to Expedia, they say the property is not willing to make any refunds or credits to be used to stay in the same property, if not any Marriott property. This does not provide you comfort of being cared for as a customer.

Awesome property! We will definitely visit again. We were able to utilize all the amenities except for the pool because it was a little cold, but we were able to use the grill and fire pit and it was great!
