Motel 6-San Marcos, TX - North

Parking space

I recently stayed at Motel 6 and had a positive experience. The evening clerk was very helpful, making check-in a breeze. The rooms were clean and easily accessible, which was a big plus. Another great aspect was the free parking available, and it was convenient to have a pool on-site for relaxation. Overall, I had a comfortable and enjoyable stay at Motel 6.

All i can say is terrible stay! I could not hurry fast to get mine and my kids out we moved to the next motel 6 up st at i loved the stay! First off this motel is not organized. I booked 2 rooms and checked in at 2pm. I received my keys and went to check both rooms out turned on tvs and closed curtain now mind you im from austin moving to kyle but born in san marcos so im very familiar with area and local. But i left to visit family down st and when i get back my key does not work come to find out they double booked my room and didnt know why.. ok so 45 mins later they tell me they are booked well duh i booked 2 rooms and thank god i didnt leave bags in rooms cause then i would of just lost it! They have people living on property smells like smoke in alot of rooms not weed but cigarettes ew! The lady that works first shift seems like she has no clue what she is doing how do you double book a room make it make since so they put me in room 205 smelled way better thanks to the guy he called his manager and got it fixed after 45mins later i spent most of my stay trying to get the rooms figured out no rest just stressed so i was glad to get out of there and go up the st where it was peaceful and not everyone hanging out looking like they want to rob you or kill you something at that motel 6 is just not right keep kids away!! Worst experience ever and i love motel 6! Just not that one!

No problems checking in. Just a lot of traffic on the property

Arrived to check in. Female in office with presumably her children. Gave me keys to my room. We went to the room and it smelled like cigarettes and weed in the room. The entire floor was so sticky you could hardly walk without making a ton of noise. There was no refrigerator and i had reserved the room thinking there was one. I went back to the office and requested another room with a refrigerator. She moved us to another room. We moved the car, doding kids playing in the parking lot. Went up to the room, having to pass people sitting on the stairs smoking Marijuana. The second room was much cleaner, but still not clean. The comforter had cigarette burn holes. The towels were very musty and worn. We went out and came back after midnight, when we returned, there were dozens of people hanging out partying in the parking lot. The mattress was very uncomfortable, i felt like i was sleeping on springs the whole night. Not one of my better stays at a Motel 6. Very disappointed.

This property appeared to house mostly long-term residents rather than travelers. The parking lot was filled with rundown vehicles — one was even missing a tire, and someone was performing an oil change on another. There was a deflated kiddie pool outside one of the rooms, and the pool on the property appeared empty or in disrepair. The receptionist was openly carrying a firearm on her hip, which added to our discomfort. We also observed what seemed to be individuals involved in drug activity, including one person digging through trash and others who appeared to be sex workers. After checking in, we sat in the car for a while, taking everything in. The overall environment felt extremely unsafe, and we ultimately decided not to even enter our room — we left immediately. Given how unsettling the situation was, we strongly believe a refund is warranted. I would absolutely not recommend this place to anyone.

This is a rough property. The staff are nice, but it is not the best deal in the area.

The motel facilities have seen far better days. Ice machine was there but I wouldnt use it. No room housekeeping over a four night stay and 1 of 2 bath towels provided was in the rack but really visibly dirty. The bed however was clean and comfortable. Bugs seen were typical of Texas.

My opinion of this hotel is not good and these remarks are based on my experiences during my stay. We had reserved three rooms for four days due to a family member in the hospital nearby. Upon arrival at the hotel, there were police in the parking lot. Even though it was almost 10pm, lots of people were hanging out smoking on the walkways in front of their rooms smoking, drinking and cooking. It was evident that a lot of people were living there in the hotel. I went to my room and it had not been cleaned so after returning to reception, they gave me a different room which was dirty, had roaches and smelled of smoke and marijuana. My family members' rooms were the same. Everything on the property was filthy and smelled. Walkways were sticky and you had to dodge run off from the walkways as you went up and down the stairs. The hotel is located on a 3 lane frontage road right on a major interstate and was noisy all night long. Despite having reservations for four days, we checked out the next morning due to the state of the hotel and safety concerns. The desk staff did not know how to check us out and despite them telling us they would sort it out and get back with us, noone has contacted us and all of us are still trying to get refunds for the unused days and the hotel has been completely unresponsive. I have travelled a lot in my life and i was not expecting a 4 star hotel but do expect a little effort in maintaing a property and keeping it clean.

No breakfast. AC didn't work well. Noisy at night. Sketchy people.

There was a lot of cockroaches, changed sheets were not

Roaches all over room disgusting

The cleanest inside the unit it was horrible Coke roaches everywhere at 9:00 the room had a can of beer inside the top faucet was broken no soap no enough towel it was a completely a disaster in there not wishing anybody to go there and have that kind of experience for the price

Horrible conditions. Graffiti on the floor, broken toilet seat, mold growth in the bathroom, shower head broken, front door didn’t seal around the bottom, and dirt and who knows what else on the doors and walls.

Room smelled like smoke, remote missing battery, bugs in the shower. Cockroaches everywhere. Not clean at all. The towels are small and thin.

The lounge smelled like urine. The property was dirty. The room was filthy. Never again will I stay there nor do I recommend that place

Bed sheets had big stain, blanket had burn holes, room smelt musty, floors were dirty, other than that it was so so

Very disappointed with the cleaning of my room. My comforter has burnt cigar burns. Roaches in the bathroom. Muddy show prints in the bathroom.

Since floor had no carpet, it needs to be mopped. Just getting into the tub, it was black from my feet getting wet. Killed 3 roaches & 1 got away. So needs fumigating. Had to ask for batteries for the remote, which worked the first night, but not the next. Staff was friendly & willing to help.

There were guest in the next two rooms that kept going in and out till 3:30am or at least that’s what time I left!

There were cockroaches in the room, no hot water in the room, burn holes from cigarettes on the bedding, room smelled awful, the smell of weed was overpowering everywhere inside and outside, people had dogs that WERE NOT OTHER DOG FRIENDLY!!!! Our dogs travel with us and LOVE everyone they meet, humans and other dogs and I will never understand others who think it’s okay to travel with dogs that are aggressive. Just my opinion. If you have to wave your hand at me to stay in my room cause your dog is that aggressive towards humans and other dogs then you shouldn’t be traveling with your dog. And the hotel should do a better job of observing and keeping these “pets” out of their hotel.

Issues with door lock a not being able to get into the room. The room was also infested with cockroaches

Horrible conditions. Graffiti on the floor, broken toilet seat, mold growth in the bathroom, shower head broken, front door didn’t seal around the bottom, and dirt and who knows what else on the doors and walls.

It needs repairs. The room had containers under the air conditioner to collect dripping water .

No breakfast. AC didn't work well. Noisy at night. Sketchy people.

Room had overpowering odor of cigarette smoke

Daniel, the evening manager was very accommodating of two nights Expedia got my reservation wrong and we had to wait to get in a room our first night because we didn't have the reservation I booked. And the room we had for sure Friday was emptied out because our Expedia reservation was canceled, when I had only asked to have Saturday night cancelled. Daniel and the housekeeper worked very hard both days to get an unbooked room ready for us. But they seemed to be very overcome with bad parking customers and too many problems with other things like a homeless lady and noisy kids on skate boards.

Checked in & out real quick front desk ladies was the nicest and very comforting, room was clean and ready and Wi-Fi was really food I loved my stay !!

Roaches hotels staff rude unprofessional

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. It was peaceful, the lady that checked me in was very friendly and thorough. I appreciate that!! I travel a lot and enjoy a quick check in. Even the people who were staying there were friendly and respectful.

The staff was very nice to us, always tried to accommodate us no matter what we needed, and for that I am grateful.

No problems checking in. Just a lot of traffic on the property

Check in was easy and quick. The staff was very polite!

Mgmt very friendly responsive to any concerns and fun !

I left this exact review on google maps, it goes as follows. I took off a star for every roach I killed, and another for the overall cleanliness of the property. Sure you get what you pay for, but if you spend anything over $69 bucks a night here, you had better be desperate. Everything in the rooms repair seemed to be patch work, and make sure again, you bring roach spray. Pro: The staff was friendly and accommodating. I checked in rather late, and there were no towels in the room, and they did not hesitate to bring some to me. I accidentally locked myself out of my room and they were kind enough to make me a new key no problem. Con: the aforementioned roaches. Also the towels they gave me. One seemed to have a makeup stain, luckily I didn't need to use it but as a floor towel. The location is a pain, if you need to go to a store finding the correct exit is like two exits down from anything, provided the exit is open. Do in summation, invest more into the employees and the maintenance of the property.

It was horrible. People smoked outsude our room and it came through air conditioner! Motel did nothing. Only had sheets and they were wet. Avoid motel 6 on I35 in san marcos tx. People were horrible. We heard and smelled them all night!

Its location and its staff and services
