I don't know what the most recent reviews were drinking, probably written by the staff itself to get you to stay there, but I agree with all the reviews from last year. This place was a dump! We were moved to 3 different rooms, 3 different locations and all of them were HORRIBLE! Stains and holes in the carpet, stains... More

We have lived in this area all of our lives. Lake San Marcos Resort was always the place to go. My family members used to work at Quails Inn back in the day. We stayed in a bungalow at this resort about three years ago, right when the renovations were taking place. Had a great time and recently decided we... More

We loved this place. We had a large room, right on the lake. The lake has lots of different kinds of birds, and we even saw some rabbits. It's like being out in the country but in the midst of a nice little town with a lot of good restaurants. The restaurant on the property is very nice, too --... More

If you are looking to enjoy a weekend or even just a day away from all the busy stress in your life, I would recommend this resort. I couldn't believe how incredibly large my suite was! It was very relaxing to see how the balcony opens up to the lake where you can have a cup of coffee in the... More

Overall my stay was very relaxing and enjoyable, the staff was very nice and helpful. The complimentary breakfast was really good, so many choices... More

My wife and kid stayed at the hotel for the weekend. We had a nice view of the lake. San Marcos has great restaurant and it's always nice to play at the beach. But the best part is the price. What a great deal. I would go back again and would recommend vacationers to stay at Lake San Marcos Resort.

My family stayed at the resort and enjoyed ourselves. The price is a deal and the accommodations where excellent. If you like quite atmosphere, and enjoy walking, and breath taking views then I think you will find your self pleased by staying here. The resort had a complimentary breakfast which was not bad and we took advantage of it :).... More

My husband and I spent this past weekend at the Lake San Marcos resort relaxing and enjoying time away from the hustle and busle of the daily grind. We actually laid around and watched March maddness basketball all weekend, so we never left the hotel except to eat. The Television was just the right size and a flat screen. The... More

I would have given this a rating of Fair if it was a choice. The location is nice. The property is very peaceful and the view of the lake is nice. However, the building and rooms need some major updating. I had the "Deluxe Lakeview" room. The view was the best compared to other rooms. The room was not deluxe.... More

I recently stayed at Lake San Marcos Resort on business. The staff was friendly, very accommodating, knowledgeable, and receptive. I enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere the Resort offered, from sitting out on the spacious patio overlooking the pool to the comfortable suite. The suite was spacious, cozy and clean. The landscape and lake was beautiful and well maintained. The location was... More
