I had the most relaxing time at Lake San Marcos Resort. It was a perfect get away. My room was spacious with separate living and bedrooom areas. My room overlooked the pool and the view of the lake. Sitting out on the patio off my room was amazing. The pool was sparkling clean and inviting. Best thing about this resort... More

Three families stayed at this hotel last week and we have nothing to complaint about it. Though the hotel is dated, the service provided by the front desk, general manager, and housekeeping were outstanding. They were all cheery, polite, and quite eager to please us. If we wanted to stay at one of the very expensive places, we would have... More

The owner has no satisfaction guarantee! I spoke with her myself and she shared with me nightmare she experienced when her hotel caught on fire when she was on vacation!!! More

We (Family of 5) stayed here for 6 nights from 6th Oct 2011. Having last stayed here three years back we expected it to be reasonable but were concerned by the awful reviews on Trip Advisor after we'd booked. We chose two Lake View Rooms with a connecting door on the ground floor. The setting and the grounds of the... More

There is a reason that there are no room pics on the website. We did not choose to stay here, the location was chosen for us. The whole facility is falling apart, stained, rotting and molding. Even the employee behind the desk was sketchy at best. When I checked in I felt like I was living out a scene in... More

This place is certainly a throw back to another decade. The hair dryer on the wall was hilarious--didn't ever get warm when I tried to use it. The pull out couch looked new but the carpet had a few stains and the wallpaper was a very old style (although clean and in good condition). The sinks and furniture were very... More

We booked this place because it was the only one that had rooms for the Stone Beerfest.. I wish we had slept in the car instead. First off, we drove in from LA and checked in around 10pm on Fri. to find out our reservation had been canceled for some reason, and there were no available rooms for the night!!?!!... More
