Staff was really nice.
1st room- showerhead was broken and restroom smelled pretty bad, they moved us to another room with no issues when we advised them. 2nd room was fine, just the restroom smelled funky.
Clean, comfortable and accommodating. Stayed here before and I’d do it again!! Great price, cleanliness and service!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Needs up dated a little but the staff is good it’s pet friendly and location is great everything is within 10-12 minutes. My daughter is at Texas state with her dog traveling with me, I will most likely stay here for the next 3 years when visiting my kidz. San Marcus is a nice place with rio vista park close by dog park and pet friendly hotels bars and restaurants
Staff was friendly and let us know where to go for good Mexican food. The room was clean, bed comfortable, but its definitely outdated but for the price, it worked out for us.

Good stay staff is friendly
and helpful. Enjoyed my stay
Friendly admissions clerk, clean room, beautiful clean pool, clean hallways, quiet. No coffee maker in the room. One incident, we asked for more towels before we hit the town because we were short. When we returned, the towels were in the bathroom sink with water faucet dribbling water on them. This was deliberately done by a housekeeper with a tude. I save $40 over Hilton though.
