Expected better
The laundry room was broke. There is a particular smell that is not fresh. The room was not clean. I saw baby roaches in my room. The experience in its entirety was not pleasant.

Would not recommend.
Rooms were dated and in need of work, sheets were moist on the bed and the room had a smell. There were bugs in the bathroom that would scatter when you turned the light on. It’s in a sketchy location of San Marcos, people were hanging around the parking lot at night. I personally would not recommend.

Great location. It's very old and not kept renovated very well. It did its job. Good a/c and a hot shower. The parking lot was well lit. This was important to me because I was hauling a trailer.

Outside building and yard could be spruced up, people fixing vehicles in parking lot. Dead roaches in light fixtures. Fairly quiet though considering it was on the access road.

My family and i did not stay here after checking in. Get to our room and uncover the bed to lay my son down and multiple hairs all over the bed. Front desk gave us another room and those beds had hair all over them. We went to another hotel.
