Room smelled, no remote, storm caused water to rush in under the door , pillows unacceptable, towels were almost non existent, checked out a day early--bigger concern though was groups of young men that congregated in the parking lot and in front of their rooms drinking and smoking deep into the night. Front desk people were extremely polite. For all... More

You can tell they have tried to remodel the rooms, but don't let that fool you. The room was nasty. And cramped. Hair all in the bath tub. Yuck. To top it off..... The housekeeping STOLE medications left on the bathroom counter. Ummmm.... People take mediations for a reason, not for the maids to get high!! I mean throwing some... More

My daughter and I stayed here in order to go to the Austin Rodeo - I got the room through another site at a pretty decent price since everything in Austin had been jacked up out of my price range due to South by Southwest (by the way - I really hate it that even the Motel 6 in Austin... More

If I could give negative 1's, I would. First when entered the front to check out a room the lady at the front desk was rude and she looked like she was on hardcore drugs. After I received my key, i went to the room and my bed looked like a 3 year old made it. Then there was this... More

As soon as you walked in the room smelled like mildew! As you turn on the air it got worse. Had to go get some oust to help, the sheets were stained at the foot of the bed, that is where they are told to hide stains. For The 53.00 I could have stayed somewhere else.

We visited San Marcos and stayed at the Motel 6, located just off of I-35. We needed somewhere for sleep only, so cheap was what we were after. We arrived very late in the evening. The lady that checked us in was very nice and got us in our room quickly. Once we walked into the room it was surprisingly... More

I stayed here for one night while moving my daughter back in at Texas State. I quickly realized that all of the San Marcos motels had increased their rates substantially due to tax free weekend and Texas State move-in weekend. My "regular" cheap motel had increased their rates by about 150% so I looked here. I think the rate I... More

Rooms are recently redone. Bed is comfortable and pillows were fluffy. There was minimal noise heard from other rooms or the pool that was just outside my door. A/C was cold, shower was hot and had good water pressure. Be sure to bring toiletries, a blowdryer, and an iron. There is no fridge, microwave, or coffee/tea supplies in the room.
