Convenient location for someone travelling through and getting to know the area. The visitor information centre is very close by and that was very helpful and I enjoyed this area right off the main highway. The hotel was quiet and comfortable and exactly what I was looking for.

The room was so damp that all my clothes came home wet and smelled of mildew. I had to wash the inside of my suitcase as well. The carpet in front of the A/C was wet. My sink was completely stopped up. I stayed post-Beryl and understand this plight but I’m not sure the hotel was ready and I question whether or not it was healthy for the the dozens of teachers that stayed there (for a math conference) and had similar or worse experiences. I’m so sorry for the city and its residents. The Holiday Inn express employees were so kind and helpful and did the best they could but it really was an abysmal stay. :(

Terrible location as the interstate exit is right in front of the hotel and it is under construction. Take your life in your hands trying to turn into the parking lot or trying to get out. Horrible experience . . . . . people drive stupid fast . . . and just don't care. Stay on the back wall of the property . . no street noise. If you stay on the front or east side? You will hear the interstate I 35 your entire stay. A very busy road . . . the staff? Wonderful people. Ya just don't wanna go here or anywhere in San Marcos on the weekend. Maybe if you get away from the interstate. Lots and lots of road work and construction. It didn't help there was a tropical storm dropping buckets of water. The pool was out of commission my entire stay due to rain water.

This BW is off a very busy interstate and the exit ramp from the freeway is under construction . . . . high speed exits as you are trying to turn onto a one lane feeder road. Almost was hit . . . .be very careful. The property was clean and quiet Wed and Thur but all that changed on Friday. Sat morning breakfast? A zoo. Kids walking around touching everything, no food in the fridge . . ran out of everything. It was just nasty. So? Stay here on a weekday. The weekend? A hard pass. The employees were super nice. Be careful if you go next door to eat. Last Friday night? They charged me twice for the same meal. Just finally received a credit a week later. What a hassle. Pay cash as no one seems to know what they are doing. The food was great? The help? Not so much. And steer clear of Texas Roadhouse. A 30 minute wait and it was like eating in a bowling alley. Noisy, crowded . . . . stressed out after that experience.

The hotel is nice to stay, very clean, attentive staff. We had an issue with the room given and talked to the staff and they switched us right away. I would have appreciated the pool more clean of debris since it's out in the open. Other than that good.

Poor quality and management
Everything is very dated and worn. Towels were dirty with make-up from a prev guest I assume. Management of the guests was poor. Children running up and down halls playing at all hours. Adults yelling in the halls, slamming doors. Some people smoking marijuana on the premises. The smoke was flowing up to our room and smelled in the room. We did not even stay the 2nd night because of this.
