The motel is severely outdated. I’ve snd coke machine do not work and looks like they haven’t worked in years.  Inside needs remodel.  Footprint on bathroom door. Sheets and pillowcases had blood stains.  I stay at Econo lodge in Fredericksburg and it is super.  Would not stay or recommend the San Marcos economy light to anyone.

Moldy bathtub. Dirty floors. Seemingly ancient building. And that's all somehow, to me, excusable, however, the road noise from the highway all night was UNBEARABLE. That mixed with the super lumpy mattress and pillows, I was unable to sleep at all.

Room did not have adequate air conditioner and none of the hotel keys would work. Front desk had to open my door with a real key and said he would have to let me in every time I needed in my room.

This is the nastiest, most disgusting hotel I have ever step foot in. I had checked in and sat in the room for less than 5 mins and went to the check out counter and demanded a refund and checked out of the hotel.

Clean room but outside of that not so good Room was clean. However needs update and repair. Stairs need cleaning. Lobby was locked, had to check in and out through window. Surrounding wasn't very inviting.

The room was terrible. Walked in and there was a dead roach on the floor. Floor was dirty. Couldn’t figure out how to turn on the lights. The light switch turned on the microwave! You could see daylight thru the door jam, the door didn’t feel secure when shut and the peep hole was just an empty hole. There was no way we could stay. This room and property looked nothing like the photos. We checked out as soon as we found a different room.
