Top Aquarena Springs Museum Hotel Reviews

Wingate by Wyndham San Marcos

8/10 Good

"Everything was great. Breakfast was very good. I would have liked some potatoes"

Homewood Suites by Hilton San Marcos

8/10 Good

"Everything was great, except the bed which was hard and uncomfortable for me (bad shoulders). Lobby coffee was TERRIBLE and the breakfast was meh. The gym was an excellent surprise, given that there were no pictures or mentions of it on expedia leaving me to think it didn't have one. Actually it large and has 5-55lb dumbell sets, 2 each of ellipticals and treadmill's and full cable pully weight system. Tons of mirrors, slam/exercise balls."
