This hotel has changed from Holiday Inn Express and is no longer a part of IHG. It is old, worn, and in need of maintenance and updating. The chair seats in the lobby area are stained and look dirty. Our room was old and in need of maintenance. The shower head moved in and out of the wall; the caulk... More

We booked a room through an intermediary site, my credit card was charged and I received a confirmation number through email. When we arrived, I was told that they were completely booked and we could not stay there. Why make rooms available through an intermediary site when you don't have any? It's a huge inconvenience to would-be customers, especially when... More

We stayed at this hotel because it was the closest to the softball park where our daughter and her team were playing for the weekend and we were not disappointed at all! The staff was very accommodating and friendly. When a large group, such as a softball team of 9-11 year olds and families, arrives you would expect some confusion... More

We went to go shopping at the outlet malls for a head start on Christmas. Perfect timing I might add. Liked this price as the Embassy Suites was WAY up there.

I have stayed at several hotels in San Marcos. The hotel is conveniently located to the college and shopping. The rooms are clean, beds comfortable and the service is good. I will definitely be returning to the San Marcos HIE.

A group of moms and high school teens shared rooms. We found the rooms comfortable and clean. The air conditioning was especially nice this time of year. The hot breakfast was excellent and contained several options. The location is near just off of the freeway and near entertainment and eateries. Overall, very good visit, but a bit overpriced.
