Courtyard San Marcos

We made the decision not to stay after the condition of our room and the hotel. Our room had black mold growing all over the bathroom and the shower was dirt, the wall paper in the room was peeling off and there was a strong odor. When you walk in the halls, you see water damage. They need to close to remedy the water damage. The Front Desk refunded our stay and apologized for the room not being in “ready” condition but honestly there is no way they do not know there are some issues and that room won’t be ready until water damage is repaired. My eyes instantly got red and itchy and I was in and out of this hotel in less than 15min.

I booked my stay at this San Marcos hotel a month in advance, initially second-guessing my choice. Those worries were unwarranted as this place delivered a good experience. Check-in was a breeze. The front desk staff greeted me, confirmed my details, and handed over my key, all in under a minute (more like 30 seconds). When I mentioned preferring a room far from the elevator, she smiled and confirmed my request was already noted in my profile, pointing me to a perfect room that could not be farther from the elevator. Check-in was efficient and thoughtful, it’s hard to ask for more. The room itself was clean, comfortable, and refreshingly cool, a welcome escape from Texas’ sticky heat. The corner couch was comfortable. The bed was cozy, and the space felt just right for unwinding. Later that evening, passing through the lobby, the same staff member that did my check-in asked if I had dinner plans. When I said I was unsure, she jotted down a few restaurant recommendations “just in case.” That small gesture stood out, and one of her suggestions ended up being my spot for the evening. This place is not fancy. It is not luxurious. But it is a reliable, clean, and welcoming hotel that checks all the right boxes.

Hotel was clean, quiet and easy to access from highway. Staff was pleasant, check in was easy. Not necessarily a complaint but we, and other guests, were misinformed about a “complimentary breakfast” when they actually have a dine in restaurant. Would recommend staying here but probably comparable stays close by at a lower price with included breakfast.

Kids were welcome with Easter goodie bags at time of check in. Exceptionally met expectations from fresh linens, clean room and Bistro. Pool was a little dirty with leaves and water looked hazy. Overall would highly recommend

Enjoy the rest
