The staff was great. Our biggest complaint was there was not a refrigerator, but we knew that going in. The odd thing was there was not hairdryer! The bed was comfortable, the air conditioner was amazing, the pool and area was clean.

Great location. It's very old and not kept renovated very well. It did its job. Good a/c and a hot shower. The parking lot was well lit. This was important to me because I was hauling a trailer.

I felt very uneasy from the moment I arrived at this motel. The picture you see make it look much nicer than it is. It is pretty old and very ran down. I was traveling with my husband and my sister but if I were alone or was a single mom with kids would have left immediately and found another place. The room was presentable and appeared to be have been cleaned. The AC was amazing. That is the best thing about the place, however, the actual unit needed to be cleaned. It was covered in dust and dirt. The door to our room appeared to have been kicked in at some point the damaged was very badly repaired. The mattress was very uncomfortable. There was a cockroach in our bathroom above the shower. The only good thing is that it did not move. It was in a position that we could not get a good angel to kill it so we just kept checking on it and it was in the same position every time we looked. It was still there the next morning. I think maybe it was dying so at least they have some good spray they are using. The pool did look very well maintained and clean. This was not worth $150.00 a night. This should not have cost more than $75.00 at most.

The place was basic (no amenities to speak of), clean and quiet. Not much else to say. It's a pretty normal Motel 6.
Benjamin, 2-night trip

This motel 6 charges a $100 pet deposit. There is no signage for this fee, they tell you about it after you book the room and go to check in. Also, if they have to wash the sheets after your stay they keep the pet deposit. Kinda figured washing the sheets was just part of the deal. Do yourself a favor and search for motel 6 north in San Marcos. Larger rooms, no hidden pet fee, nice manager.

It was so fkn awesome staying at motel 6 omg let me tell you... The location is awesome the property sits right in the middle of 152 restaurants that are all walking distance and sidewalk accessable, if you drive you have several points of entry to the property and the ih35. The river is a couple of blocks away!! But most of all the housekeepers are all gorgeous and polite and know how to clean a room and make a bed and they also know how to make you feel at home!!!
