“Great meeting hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

Embassy Suites are pretty much alike everywhere: atrium with two room suites that open onto halls overlooking the lobby. The feeling is airy and spacious. The daily manager's reception (free drinks) is a nice touch and certainly better than cookies. The bar is open and inviting and the breakfast buffet is very complete. This particular hotel seems new, fresh and well maintained.

The fitness center is small but has treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, free weights and a couple of benches. Oddly, the TV's there cannot receive any broadcast channels and a limited cable selections so bring your own entertainment. The room TV's are fine, though.

This property has a huge meeting facility with a large number of rooms that can be configured as large ballrooms or smaller, more intimate rooms. The staff throughout was excellent and the buffet food provided was tasty.

The I-35 intersection nearby looks like any new just developing suburb with a car dealership, outlet mall (not in walking distance), but otherwise is open spaces; not a scenic destination. Oddly San Marcos is thought to be the oldest continuously settled area in the northern hemisphere, so perhaps there's something nearby worthy of tourism.

Room Tip: There is nothing in walking distance so plan on eating in or having a car available. The rooms are...

“Very nice for an Embassy Suites”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

I have stayed at this hotel a few times while in San Marcos for business. It is by far the nicest Embassy Suites I have ever visited. That said it is similar to other Embassy Suites hotels in that it is a lot of space but the cleanliness is never quite as good as some of the other Hilton chains. The fact that it's a newer property makes it much nicer and the price is always decent. The breakfast is pretty good as far as hotel breakfast goes. The fitness center was the highlight for me with great equipment with individual TV's at each cardio machine. I will continue to stay here when I come to San Marcos.

“Great Stay for the Money”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

This isn't the nicest hotel I've ever been in, but for the value it is definitely worth it. The only thing you are near is the outlet shopping (which is amazing) but other than that, there's not much. You are about 30 minutes from Austin, and it's right off the highway. The rooms were decent, clean. The breakfast buffet is super good, and they also offer free happy hour in the afternoons! There is a Starbucks onsite, so that's also a perk.

“First Choice”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

We visit the San Marcos/San Antoinio area quite frequently and this Embassy Suites is our first choice of hotels. Have never had a complaint. If you plan to shop, it is in the perfect location close to the outlets with a shuttle. Complimentary breakfast and social hour each evening are a great bonus and the breakfast is top notch. Rooms are always clean and staff friendly and helpful. On our last visit I noticed guests with dogs so they are dog friendly too. I highly recommend this hotel.

Room Tip: All rooms are good.
