Hotel is nice! Beds are comfortable and it's nice and quiet. Rooms are large and comfortable. The staff are very nice and helpful! Rooms are clean and carpeted! My autistic son and I stayed here and HE even loved it and if you understand the pickiness of autism, you know that's huge!! Definitely recommend this place!
Came to San Marcos to visit some friends and have a week long vacation with my son. The outside of the hotel is very inviting. The staff are very friendly and quick to help with anything you need. The rooms are spacious and they have a refrigerator and microwave. They even have a desk which was great for my son to use to play on his gaming system. Definitely will stay here again!!! The price is very affordable and it's close to EVERYTHING!!!
I have been frequently staying here off and on for for a couple of months now.And every time I come, the staff is very hospitable.They go the extra mile to accommodate me. The pricing is worth it. I honestly enjoy staying here.
Nice independent hotel. Rooms were clean, bed was comfortable. Had a couple of issues and they fixed them almost immediately. I have stayed here twice, both times for business, and if I am back in San Marcos again I will definitely come back.
Location is awesome accessible from IH 35 frontage rd or Rio Vista Neighborhood. Everything about this location that it is in walking distance to San Marcos' restaurants, waterfalls at Rio Vista, Downtown entertainment, Theater, and several boutiques to and from. The owner is very personable and caring he also provides a great security himself and keeps the parking lot free and clear of anything that could be potentially bad. I stay here every other weekend with my son because its safe here and competively priced at my benefit and yours. The amenities are lovely the stay is peaceful, the pool is clean always accessible. The staff is honest and friendly and always willing to be of service.
Riverside residential area with tubing & swimming in adjoining Rio Vista Park, plus fast-food spots.
