While this property is older, it was clean. They have old property issues that if you tell them, they jump on fixing them, but there were a few. Electric sockets next to sinks don't work, our electric key didn't lock our room, door between rooms was difficult to lock, fire alarm was beeping, ice machine wasn't working all the time. But we went down and told them, and they fixed these things immediately. My husband fixed the ice machine most of the time with the reset button trick. But they made up for it by having their pool still be open when others were closed. It was in the 90's and our tubing excursion was a no-show so we hung around the pool instead. It is within walking distance to restaurants and the stadium.
Staff was friendly and let us know where to go for good Mexican food. The room was clean, bed comfortable, but its definitely outdated but for the price, it worked out for us.
Needs up dated a little but the staff is good it’s pet friendly and location is great everything is within 10-12 minutes. My daughter is at Texas state with her dog traveling with me, I will most likely stay here for the next 3 years when visiting my kidz. San Marcus is a nice place with rio vista park close by dog park and pet friendly hotels bars and restaurants

Staff was fine. The room was OK for the price.Hard bed, cardboard like pillows, and the breakfast was not continental. No fruit, no cream cheese for the bagel and the waffles were sour. Not sure how that even happens.
