This hotel is always clean and comfortable and includes a continental breakfast and a pool for the warm months. The cable tv and internet both worked well. This within one to two miles of downtown and easy access to restaurant row along I-35. Have never had any issues and will stay here again when in San Marcos.

Nice, handicap accessible room, great AC, clean. We would stay again if we're in the area. Breakfast was good with the waffles being our favorite item. Coffee available all day which is a nice perk. Nice pool.

We were a little concerned staying close to the freeway, but it was quiet and very comfortable. We slept great, and I. The morning enjoyed a good breakfast. The check in was very pleasant and we were recognized as Diamond members. The morning staff was upbeat and very welcoming, too.

Pleasant check in, a little outdated but expected with the lower Room rate. Everything works in the room with microwave and fridge. Bed was comfortable. The front offers a view of I 35, the back on the 2nd floor would give a nice tree view. Glad I chose this place.

The hotel staff were friendly, but the breakfast buffet was severely limited. Some of the furniture in our room had tears and signs of wear; I could tell that management did not take housekeeping seriously.

The hotel was nice, the bed was comfortable and had 5 pillows. The internet worked well with my Amazon Firestick. The printer in business center did not work and I had to email my documents to the front desk to get them printed. The breakfast ended at 9:30 and I arrived at 10:30. This was my fault because I came from Mexico and they did not change to daylight savings this year. I would probably stay here again.

Our overall stay was good. Just make sure to check your bill. They charged my sister for a bed cot she never received to her room. She was told she would get a credit and never did. Our fault for not getting a receipt even though she was told she didn’t need one.

The room was gross. The chair was so bad we wouldn't sit in it. There comes a point when you have a piece of worn out furniture and you just need to throw it away. There is something disgusting on the wall behind the phone. The pillows were the worst I've ever had in a hotel. The air conditioning unit was cooling,but the fan controls only allowed for auto and not low,high or constant so when it cycled on and off all night it woke us up. It just wasn't the pleasant hotel experience I usually have when I stay at a Best Western hotel.

Dear el_guapo521, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I am shocked to hear about the situations you encountered and would like to deeply apologize. I would like to ensure you that comments like yours are not taken lightly and will be addressed immediately with our entire team. We take the value of your report regarding the condition of your room, furniture, walls, pillows, AC, and the cleanliness of our hotel. We will act on these complaints and will fix all problems as soon as possible. Your business is our priority and assure you that management has taken all the steps to make sure that all the rooms are clean, well-maintained and our ultimate goal is to make sure each guest has a comfortable stay. The description of your stay is highly unusual and does not represent the level of high standards we all aim to achieve. We do hope you allow us another opportunity on a future stay to show you, how we used your overall comments to improve.

Hotel over priced, breakfast is simple and cheap. Pool is a nice big size and clean. Bed was comfortable and room needed more detail cleaning. Staff was okay a little nice. Parking is good and free. The hotel it self is older and needs new carpet and the hotel itself smells like curry. I guess the workers and truckers don't mind it, but families do.

The hotel was a bit dirty. Our room was very musty, and the AC unit did not seem to be functioning properly. The water pressure was a bit weak. The breakfast did not look appealing. We booked and paid for 2 nights but only stayed for one. We ended paying for another hotel room on the other side of the highway.
