The staff was really nice. The hotel was clean. The elevator was a little old and the kids were a little scared of it because it made creaking noises. The breakfast was included with the stay and they had a lot of food options. The gas station in front of the property had so many different snacks from around the world.

I was placed by the elevator and feel that when ever I buy my stay from another source other than direct from Hampton inn at San Marcos, I get crappy rooms. I received a handicapped room and the shower looked awful. The overall room looks like it needs some sprucing up. I checked in early around 2:45 p.m. so it was not that they had no rooms. It was not busy as the parking was not full. They need to do better as I stay there due to business/family events.

Pros: Great, hot breakfast including omelettes, sausage/bacon, waffle maker, juice and coffee bars. Nice pool and hot tub for kids. Front desk staff friendly and accommodating. Price was good and reasonable per night. Cons: old decor including aged bathroom, toilet, doors, stained chair and pretty matted (sticky?) carpet which probably was pretty dirty—same with the hallways. This hotel needs major renovation. Unfortunately I have noticed these things with Hilton owned hotels.

The breakfast was super good. The staff was polite and efficient. The property was well maintained, clean, and everything worked. A nice place for families, couples, and to travel alone.

Very convenient location for us near our local family. Our room was clean and quiet so we could rest well. We have stayed in several other hotels in the area, and this one suited us best of all. We will stay here again.
