I had a lovely time enjoying the incredible outdoor swimming pool—it was so refreshing! The King Room I stayed in was spacious and had a nice ambiance that made me feel right at home. Plus, the convenient location put me just a hop away from some amazing local eats.

strongly recommend ❤️🥰

The location off the highway is convenient for accessing nearby attractions, which was a positive aspect of the stay. Unfortunately, the room had a strong smell of fresh paint that made me uneasy, and I was disturbed to find bugs circulating around. The bed was uncomfortable, sinking in the middle, and the outdated microwave and fridge contributed to the overall unappealing condition of the room.

The bathroom was brand new but way too small. The bed was not comfortable so it was like trying to sleep in a sinking ship.

Not exactly cheap but was acceptable in a pinch.

The room was clean and well-maintained during my visit. Close proximity to the university made it convenient for us.

It was right next to the university but overall pricing felt high for the quality.

I stayed for one night and the moment I walked in I noticed the dirty sock from the previous guests on the floor, it just set a grim tone right from the start.

This place definitely wasn’t cheap, but it was way below standard for what I was expecting.

The homemade cakes at nearby San Marcos Shipley Donuts were a sweet gem, and Japan Latino Sushi & Steak dished out some seriously tasty rolls. Plus, having Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen just a hop away was a clutch move for late-night cravings!

Now, the stay itself wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. The King Room was not cleaned properly, with stained sheets and leftover food in the fridge—that's like finding a surprise in your cereal. We ended up using our own blankets on top of the dirty ones. Major bummer!

Decent location but cleanliness was a huge issue

The location was great, being close to the university and various dining options, which made our trip convenient. Unfortunately, the cleanliness left much to be desired, with dirty sheets and hair found on the beds. It was definitely not a pleasant experience.

This place suits me perfectly with great amenities like wi-fi, free parking, and 24-hour reception. The staff once helped me find great shopping spots, and I appreciated their delightful service. I'll be back for the new year!

The local eats nearby were fantastic! I grabbed some mouthwatering donuts at the San Marcos Shipley Donuts—those homemade cakes really hit the spot. Plus, Japan Latino Sushi & Steak served up some seriously tasty rolls that kept my palate dancing. The staff was welcoming and made my stay more enjoyable.

Now, on the flip side, the breakfast situation was a bit of a scramble. The area looked dirty, and I wasn’t about to let my kids chow down there, so we headed elsewhere. Plus, our towels had stains and one even had a cigarette burn—yikes!

Comfortable bed, friendly staff, the outdoor swimming pool was a great feature, and the flat-screen TV offered many entertainment options during our stay.

No complaints.

The location was super convenient, right by everything we wanted to do! 👍 Unfortunately, the towels had stains and the breakfast area was a bit messy. Wish it was cleaner!

24-hour reception was helpful, but room smelled bad and was not thoroughly cleaned.

I appreciated the convenient location near several fast-food options and local shops, making it easily accessible for a quick meal or snack. The staff at Howard Johnson By Wyndham San Marcos were welcoming and attentive, making my stay more enjoyable.

Improved cleanliness would enhance the overall experience.

Had a smooth stay at Howard Johnson! The coffee in the lobby was surprisingly good, perfect for my caffeine fix. The comfy bed was a major plus after a long day indulging in local eats like Japan Latino Sushi & Steak and Shipley Donuts—those were real winners!

But, not everything was peachy. The breakfast area was a total mess. I wasn’t about to fill my belly from there. Plus, the stained towels were a bit sketchy! Gotta do better with cleanliness, folks.

my stay at this hotel was surprisingly pleasant. i really appreciated the friendly staff and the convenient location near dining options.

breakfast options were very limited.
