What guests think

Reviews of Days Inn by Wyndham San Marcos describe a budget stay with friendly staff and convenient highway access, but mixed experiences overall, ranging from clean, quiet rooms and comfortable beds to notable issues with cleanliness, maintenance, and amenities.

Breakfast is frequently described as very limited or missing, often just packaged pastries and coffee.

Half the Property was burned and had police tape. People were outside smoking weed. The front desk put me on hold, then charged my card, then hung up on me when I tried to cancel the reservation

Continental breakfast literally consist of "sweetbread ". That's it. There was a family also rinsing their laundry in the pool and hanging it out all along the fence to dry. Clearly we decided not to use the pool. The entire area seemed unsafe in general. Only positive thing to say is the rooms seemed to be recently renovated.

Don’t stay there with your kids. The pool is dirty the room is dirty, the floors were so dirty it turned my child’s feet black. No daytime curtains so I had to leave the darkening curtains closed at all times. The smell was horrible kinda like old cigarette smell. We arrived and there was no coffee by the coffee pot toilet paper was almost out by the end of our first day. I killed 3 bugs in the room. The tissue box was empty. All in all the room was disgusting. Will never stay there again.

I rated this hotel high, even though they were painting the outside of hotel while still checking people in and my door would not open when key card was inserted. But, the area was very convenient for every direction we were going to. It was quiet and clean. I will stay again at this location.

This is an older fairly run down motel. The beds and linens were clean only one towel each (I did get an extra from the maid). The shower is in the bathtub (normal for a cheap motel) but the water didn't drain properly so I ended up standing in 6 inches of water. The water was hot and plentiful so the shower was OK. The floor looked clean but wasn't as our dirty feet could testify. Breakfast was awful, crappy coffee and the actual food was plastic wrapped danishes in a plastic cabinet. Totally inedible. The pool looked OK and several people were in it, although I didn't try it myself. Not what I expected from a Wyndam branded motel.

First off, we arrived at 11:00 which was a late arrival we understand. Try the door, it’s locked. The person inside points to the window like a crime ridden 711 store window. He asks for ID which I hold up to the window. He shoves a piece of paper under a tiny crack so small he can hardly fit the pin under it. Should have been our first clue to run. Get to the room, it’s has been 104 in Texas. A/C not running, so it’s hot in the room and it’s very musty smelling. Rip off the comforter, can only imagine what may have been on it. Lay on top of the sheets, get up an hour later to use the restroom. Took a photo of a roach running up the door. Found another on the sink counter, and we had one run off our shoe when we went to get dressed to get out of that nasty place. Going to leave my car for about a week then fumigate it. If you think I am kidding or just being picky, I’m not, straight up truth.

Check in and out was easy. The room overall was decent. Beds and pillows were nice however, the shower I had NO HOT WATER! It was awful taking a cold shower and the sink would back up with water at the slightest increase in water. That’s gross considering what could be clogging that up. Pretty quiet between rooms and outside noise. AC was pretty cold. I gave it a 3 star rating because of the price to stay compared to the issues in the room I feel it was too expensive.

At 9pm my key card stopped working. I got it rekeyed and that didn’t work either. The woman at the front desk called her boss and while I waited in the lobby she opened my door leaving it wide open for anyone to have access to my belongings. She also mentioned that the “emergency work order” would be by sometime tomorrow long after I check out. I cannot go to my car or the store without being locked out

This the worst place we have ever stayed in. We got in there late from our drive & while checking in from outside thru a small window, we asked if they could use the restroom in the lobby. we were told the lobby closes at 11 and they would not allow us to use a restroom. Then our key didn't work(which continued to be a problem as we had to have a key replace 3 times in less than 40hours), we had no hot water, random people walking around in the parking lot and skateboarding at 1-3 AM, the noise was constant-traffic, people in the room next to us, breakfast was joke, vending machine had expired snacks from 2 years ago. We on Saturday morning, before check out time, we decided we wanted to find another hotel, however we were told we could not cancel our stay for the 2nd day. So we were stuck or we could just toss our money away. We will never stay in a Days Inn again!

The prices were not accurate, and the property was noisy all night due to the other tenants.all evening and night the other tenants persistence to do illegal drugs at my door and stairwell, my ex wife and son came to visit and she and I seriously errupted into a huge argument over the smell of drugs in the air and due to that my child was not allowed to stay and visit with me. My friends then later came by and one of them told me that he witnessed a large drug deal happen in the Park lot. My ex wife also got into an altercation with another tenant became that tenant was drunk and hit her vehicle with their car door. And the breakfast was really disappointing. Not a satisfying time.

Don\'t bother going to their breakfast, they don\'t even half decent coffee, there is pretty much nothing there to eat, area is very small, junkies were staying there as well. Worse then motel 6, I will never stay in Days inn anymore. Expedia need to mention or highlight if property is owned by some "Patel" so we will know it will cheaply maintained. Bath tubs were really old and so was silicon around it, some areas has clear silicon which was awful looking.
