Top Texas State University Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn San Marcos

8/10 Good

"generally a good place to stay, but you can see by the missing grout in the floors the dirty dings in the bathroom doors and the old pilled bedsheets that a refresh could be made to the building."

Holiday Inn San Marcos-Convention CTR Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Property was very clean and employees were very sweet and helpful. Everything about hotel was great!"

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Austin San Marcos

8/10 Good

"Hotel was clean. Staff friendly and welcoming."

The Crystal River Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice home-y comfortable accommodations! This is not a super sterile generic hotel, it has character and genuinely feels like a home which was exactly what I needed to feel happy and rested when traveling. Most comfortable bed I have ever experienced in a hotel, slept like a rock. Very close to an HEB to easily stock the mini fridge/freezer, fun casual bar next door to grab a drink each night. I saw some reviews about noise from said bar but I didn’t hear a thing, probably because I used the included white noise machine for sleeping. Will absolutely stay again next time I’m in San Marcos!"

Red Roof Inn San Marcos

8/10 Good

"Buen trato, limpio y buen olor, buena apariencia. La piscina muy limpia. Descanse muy bien toda la noche"

The Downtown Abbey

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay. the mosquitos on the patio in the back were horrible though. Also maybe better instructions given as a lady walked in to our room because she wasn’t sure where to go. (our fault for not having door locked) beautiful house"
