Holiday Inn San Marcos-Convention CTR Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was great. Staff was quick and very helpful. Hotel is near many restaurants, both fast food and dine in restaurants."

Holiday Inn Express and Suites San Marcos South by IHG

8/10 Good

"Our stay was okay. It wouldn’t be my first pick. Short staffed, each time we needed someone at the front desk, we waiting at least three people back. Our room that holds 6 people only had 3 towels. I asked for extra at the front desk and was told they would bring them to us, that never happened. Our bathroom had small black hairs throughout it. Low water pressure and it sounded like we might fall through the bathtub. One of our beds had a clump of hair under the sheets. The pull out couch did not have extra blankets in the room. We hung a towel on a hook and the hook fell off the wall. Breakfast was meh. Saturday morning the floor and tables in breakfast area were very dirty. Food getting stuck to our shoes, people cleaning off table before they could sit down. The lobby floor and elevator floor looked dirty all three days. The room was spacious for our family of 5 and nice cold AC. I paid over $160 a night and it was not worth that. Pool was green in color."

Homewood Suites by Hilton San Marcos

8/10 Good

"The room was huge and comfortable, but... Our room was missing a few things like the toilet paper roll holder, an ice bucket and I believe a lot of the dishes in the kitchen area. Someone had broken a plug off in the light fixture which could be dangerous. My daughter found an eyelash stuck to her bed comforter. So lots of random weirdness. As for the property, only one of the elevators is in working order. So you have to wait a long time. Other than that, there are lots of amenities. The location is easily accessible and great being one exit north of the outlet mall and right next to a Target and Academy Sports. We did enjoy the stay as it felt like small apartment living for the two days we needed it."
