The staff was very rude and mean to me, accusing me of things I didn’t do. They wouldn’t let me take my breakfast to my bedroom. I accidentally spilled some dry cereal and they made me sweep it up. Otherwise the room was very nice and clean. Better than a lot of hotels in the San Marcos area for the price. I don’t think I will go back if the man and woman working that day will still be there. They tied to apologize as I was leaving, which was nice, but I wanted to stay a few more nights but after the whole breakfast ordeal , I wasn’t gonna stay another night.

They need to offer cleaning when stating for more than 2 days. And they need to work on the breakfast, the don't replenish food. Some people rent based on the options available like breakfast for a reason, work etc.The air condition in one of the rooms did not work and when we asked for extra towels they said they would take them to the room and they didn't.
