“In my opinion, this property struggles to deliver a satisfactory experience, as reflected in some accounts detailing issues with cleanliness and room conditions; also the service appears inconsistent. I think that travelers might find better value and reliability elsewhere in San Marcos; overall, there seem to be more advisable options.”
