Top San Marcos River Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Marcos Hotel Conference Center

8/10 Good

"Stayed here for a conference for work... Room was clean only had a problem with the refrigerator not working properly and leaking. AC wasn't working properly either. Reported the issue to the manager on duty (Marlene) and she was very friendly and helpful. After the third time reporting it, she switched us to another room. She had previously sent someone each time and they still weren't able to fix it. Staff was wonderful. Breakfast was not the best, I've had better. Dinner at the bar/restaurant was nasty. I ordered a burger and the meat was burnt and tasted like char. The only good thing was the French fries. Also ordered the chips with queso and salsa, the salsa was nasty. I had two drinks from the bar and they were good. You do have to pay for parking. Atmosphere was nice inside."

"Was ok"

Best Western San Marcos

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was very good, there was lots of items to choose from. Cereals, breads & bagels, waffles with multiple toppings (chocolate chips, strawberries, whip cream), butter & maple syrup, fresh fruits (bananas & oranges), skillet potatoes, scrambled eggs, sausage links. Salsa was available for the eggs, so my only suggestion is have some small tortillas available to make breakfast tacos (hint: the hotel sits next to a tortilla bakery). Juice was available in 3 flavors. The digital coffee dispenser had lots of choices, most available in regular or decaf: latte, cappuccino, espresso, coffee, hot chocolate, and hot water. There was an abundance of creamers, half & half, and skim milk, with sugar and sugar substitutes, plus tea bags. Paper cups were a good size, with lids and sleeves."
