Summary: Though I stayed at an off time, it was most satisfactory, and in a good way.
The reviews do not give much justice to this motel.
It was quite clean, a bit more spacious than the usual room at many other motel-hotels, and quite comfortable.
Aside from the 2 hour noise of a guests child playing outside in the parking lot, which I let go, and several improvements, upkeep you notice which is not entirely the owner, managers fault, and needing attention, it is a rather nice spot.
For what it is, you can not really complain. You receive a comfortable bed, storage space, a working tv with many more cable channels than many others motels offer, actual hot water in your bath/shower, a chaise style chair/ sofa and a bath/shower and vanity area. The fridge and micro were more than adequate.
I normally stay at a medium, more upscale hotel, but always looking to try different things and I would return here.
If a guest is seeking to save a few bucks for a night or 2 or 3 and is content on being comfortable with amenities that are sufficient, and that works, then I would recommend staying here.

Summary: The staff was very rude and mean to me,
accusing me of things I didn’t do. They wouldn’t let me take my breakfast to my bedroom. I accidentally spilled some dry cereal and they made me sweep it up. Otherwise the room was very nice and clean. Better than a lot of hotels in the San Marcos area for the price. I don’t think I will go back if the man and woman working that day will still be there. They tied to apologize as I was leaving, which was nice, but I wanted to stay a few more nights but after the whole breakfast ordeal , I wasn’t gonna stay another night.
