Location was near Texas State University. It was a last-minute stay; there was availability and the price was excellent. The young lady that assisted us was very friendly and professional. The room was nice and clean. My only complaint, the vent in the bathroom was missing, so it felt a little creepy. Other than that, it was a pleasant stay.

San Marcos stay

Good location near the rivers and swimming holes. Nice bed. Check in was odd. Had a problem checking in and they double charged me on the hold. My credit card removed it.

This property was no where near anything promised. Very small with debilitated exterior. So close to freeway was loud. No elevator. The bathroom had hair in the tub and in the floor, a disgusting stained shower curtain, and the bottom of tub had some sort of extremely worn mat in it. Beds were rick hard. I will never stay at a best western again nor prepay using Expedia.
