Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I was only in town for one night. I previously lived not far from this property so was well acquainted with the area. The room was comfortable and the lobby was nicely set. As I already had arrangements for breakfast, I did not partake of the provided breakfast although I did wander through and check it out. Looked quite nice.

Nice, convenient option in North SD County
I was pleasantly surprised with my stay! I went in with minimal expectations, knowing it's a small hotel off the highway near a college. The room was spacious, the front desk was friendly and had free snacks available, the room had a not-so-mini fridge, and the breakfast was yummy! A good option for staying in San Marcos close to the freeway if you need to get to other places in North SD County quickly.

Room was clean and quiet. Continental breakfast was quite good. We stayed two nights and per their policy, there was no housekeeping. Only every other day. We ran out of towels, coffee, etc. The front desk did bring up what we requested. Overall, a nice hotel.
