Top Blanco Shoals Natural Area Hotel Reviews

LivAway Suites Austin San Marcos

10/10 Excellent

"It was very clean and quiet."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Austin San Marcos

8/10 Good

"Hotel was clean and the location was fine, an easy drive to TXST. Beds were fine. One of the kids forgot their toothbrush and the front desk had none, which I thought was odd for a hotel. I could hear freeway traffic from the room, but overall, I slept fine. I’d probably stay here again. The price was fair."
