Hotel Motel 6-San Marcos, Tx (San Marcos, USA)

Motorists in particular welcomed the location of this motel just off highway I-35. Moreover, the property was only a short drive from shopping malls and downtown San Marcos. Another bonus was the proximity of gas stations and eateries in the surrounding area.

Apart from a few light sleepers, most reviewers reported that they found this motel to be fairly peaceful despite its proximity to the freeway.

A few reviewers found the rooms to be rather small, but many said they were sufficiently comfortable and clean for a stopover. There was praise for the refurbished rooms with fresh decor and laminate floors instead of carpets. It was often claimed that the rooms offered decent value for money due to the reasonable rates. Guests liked the free parking and the way pets were allowed for no extra charge.

Additional charges for Wi-Fi access were unpopular with reviewers. Moreover, some users claimed the network was slow or unreliable.

Blocked drains, cigarette burns and a sometimes uninviting swimming pool were among the maintenance issues that prompted negative remarks from some travelers. Cleanliness problems were also reported in some rooms such as bathrooms that could have been cleaner, stained bedding and trash leftover from previous occupants. Some guests claimed there were lingering smoke smells in certain parts of the building plus ineffective pest prevention measures.

Although some reviewers praised the personnel for being pleasant, helpful and friendly, others said they encountered rude or inefficient personnel and faced delays to check-in during peak periods as they had to wait for their rooms to be made ready. A few reviewers also said they faced mix-ups with bookings on arrival.
