Comfortable stay
Check in was easy. Front desk service was friendly. Room was clean. Bed was comfortable but firm. Pillows were extra soft. We left out before breakfast, but it does say hit breakfast.

Wrong gps directions
There is not enough parking for the guest to be able to park. The directions to be able to find the property is wrong gps says it is one place but it is actually on the other side of the highway. The chair in the room was ripped

This was not a fancy property, but the staff was extremely friendly, the room was comfortable and clean, and the price was very reasonable – so everything we needed for our overnight in San Marcos.

My stay was pleasant, besides for one major turn-off: There was an odd musty smell in the room that might have come from the air conditioning unit, and the odor became more pungent when you run the A/C. On the bright side, You're not far from downtown San Marcos and other activities around town.

Football stay
It was a short stay, but the service was good and pleasant. We went for a high school football game so we didn't spend much time there. But over all it was good.

Poor Quality Inn
Wife seen a cockroach on the table below TV. Motel needs updated really bad. Not what I'd expect for a Quality Inn.

Its a college town hotel
The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The aerator was missing on the sink so water sprayed when turned on. The waffle machine was great but hated the coffee. It was coffee colored water.. instant obviously.
