Top Hotels Near California State University San Marcos in San Marcos from AU$94

"This was a very family friendly hotel. The pool is small but it was perfect for our little girls to play for a little bit and enjoy it thoroughly. We stayed here because we were going to the San Diego Zoo Safari so it was super convenient to have breakfast included with the stay. Having the dining lobby available for our group to gather for drinks and pizza in the evening was also perfect for our families. I would definitely stay here again. Staff was super friendly and helpful."

"Loved renting the boats and using the pool and hot tub along with the restaurants"

"Once I got shifted to a room NOT facing the freeway the noise level was acceptable to sleep all night. When you book, make sure you stipulate that the room must NOT face the freeway."

"It was clean, convenient, decent breakfast, and comfortable. "

"I was placed in a room on the first floor and the room in general smelled really bad. Like old carpet. "

"This property is in serious neglect. The counter in the bathroom had makeup stains from previous guests. The sink faucet leaked when in use. Upon arrival there was water all over the bathroom floor, we thought the toilet was leaking but didn’t find the source of the leak and it didn't return after we cleaned it up. If you are looking for a slight step above an hourly motel then this is the place. The door to our room was a residential interior door, not exactly screaming security!! We arrived around 11pm and checked in through a window instead of the lobby. I had even called ahead to let them know of the late arrival and was not advised of the lobby situation. The breakfast was lackluster at best! The only redeeming grace was the bakery/mexican resturant adjacent on the property. The staff was friendly and inviting, that is the only saving grace for this location. "

"It’s a nice quiet and safe place to stay. We enjoyed it "

"Our room was clean and comfortable, the free breakfast was great, and the staff was friendly. This hotel was a great value and we would definitely stay here again."

"Overall, the hotel was not horrible, but it definitely wasn't great either. The room itself was very clean, and everything was in good working order, albeit very cheap. The beds are literally mattresses on metal frames with a fake little headboard, and because the floor is wood, the beds move very easily. Speaking of the "wood" floors, this causes the sounds above/below to amplify, so footsteps overhead kept us up all night for one of our nights. The hallways looked like they hadn't been vacuumed in weeks, and the "breakfast" included a couple packets of oatmeal and 2 prepackaged mini muffins, with coffee or hot chocolate. The area was fine; no complaints there. Again, the 3 stars are purely because the room felt clean, which ranks high in my book, but everything else was disappointing and unappealing. Won't be staying there again, or any extended stay for that matter, wince their probably all as cheap"
