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.

Staff were quick and friendly. Location wasn’t bad at all. Room was clean for the most part .. it was little things like a few pieces of hair and dust on the tub that made me to believe it wasn’t clean (I cleaned it myself with the supplies I had in my trunk due to my child needing to shower and sleep for a early morning) and a lot of dust and trash behind the towel holder. Other than that the room was fine and you get what you pay for honestly. If I ever had another emergency/ last min stay I would book again if I had to.

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.

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!!!
