Learn more about San Marcos

Between golf courses and craft breweries, San Marcos offers a perfect blend of recreation and relaxation. Twin Oaks Golf Club and Lake San Marcos Executive Course welcome players of all skill levels under reliably blue skies. The impressive California State University campus adds youthful energy to this North County gem. After a round of golf, sample local IPAs at the city's surprisingly numerous craft breweries where bartenders discuss hop varieties with evangelical fervor. For outdoor enthusiasts, Montiel and San Elijo Hills dog parks provide scenic spots to stretch legs – canine or otherwise. Lucky Strike and Regal Edwards deliver entertainment options when the rare rainy day appears, though locals insist such weather is merely a rumor.

This little gem sits right on the beach and is PERFECT! I stayed with my two daughters and we plan to go back as soon as possible. The room was clean and spacious. The hotel was within walking distance of everything. Our stay included free wifi, parking, and breakfast (I think this is the norm for all stays). As for the beach, there are complimentary beach chairs, umbrellas, towels and boogie boards. So fun! You won't regret choosing this hotel!

My wife and I just spent 3 nights here for our Anniversary. The view from the living room and balcony was incredible. When we arrived our keys and paperwork were ready for us. we spent about 1 minute in the lobby signing in and receiving our keys before they took us on a quick tour to show us around the property and then escorted us to the room. The room was stocked with a variety of snacks and drinks. The snacks were simple single serve items like pretzels, cookies, chips and granola bars....

Our stay was awesome!! Very convenient location to Legoland which was the purpose of our stay. The hotel was very clean and the fireplace in the lobby was so inviting. Check in was great. The room was fantastic. It had a sitting area as well as the sleeping area. Beds were so comfortable. The breakfast was great to start our day off. A special thanks to the staff for ensuring everything was replenished. We will definitely stay there again on our next adventure.
