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.

The clerk AJ was courteous and patient. The shower could use some non slip pads. under the beds next to the wall was very dirty. The floors were sticky like they need to be mopped. could use a coffe maker in the room. I went to front desk for coffee and it was water mostly. didn't try it. drove to mcdonalds and got some.

You get what you pay for

My room felt very wet. The floors. My sheets. When I asked they said I needed to run my AC significantly colder to dry out the room. It was already cold and wet and I couldn’t imagine colder.

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.
