I first say that the STAFF is very helpful and friendly. I booked to take my granddaughters swimming and have a night out. The pool was green and the staff was not even aware it was closed - they did offer the poo;l next door so girls did swim. The rooms are not very well on air - HUMID and not as cool as could be, NOISY and my shower was dirty (did not notice until the evening so did not report). Beds were comfy but was not what I usually expect when staying at a Marriott. Ok for the money but I would choose somewhere else next time.

Nice updated hotel. Nice location. Nice beds. The property was not well maintained. The shower door wouldn’t close, the floor ac unit made the carpet all wet, the bathroom counter cabinet leg was pushed up underneath itself. They had an onsite restaurant. Parking was limited and not well lit. Ended up parking in next hotel lot.

I would normally give this 5 stars all around because every part of the experience was top notch, accept the parking. With two hotels right next door to each other you would think that would be easier, but there was no parking available and upon my late night arrival from driving 6 hours that day, we had to park on the other side of the next door property in the back. There really is need for more spaces and a bigger lot with that many rooms available. Other than that, the front staff was excellent when I called ahead of time to confirm my late arrival for driving. The rooms were very very clean and the bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. The layout of king room also offered a second getting ready station in the room just outside of the bathroom with the outlets and a light and a full length mirror which was really helpful in the morning.

Limited parking and the elevator needs work. Could hear the highway at night. Marriott built another hotel right next to this one and consumed all of the parking. Be prepared to hike to the front door.

We stayed for 4 nights, overall it was an okay experience. It’s in a great location-close to shopping, food, and entertainment. The room we stayed in smelled like mildew and the carpet near the air conditioning unit was wet our whole stay. Other than that, the beds were comfortable and as long as we didn’t go near the wet carpet it was a nice room. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

We stayed here two years ago so when we were coming back for a night before the same race, we decided to stay again. Bad decision. The first room they put us in smelled horribly of mildew and the comforter had stains on it. The front desk moved us immediately to another room. This room did not have the smell but the mini fridge had mold/mildew inside. The pool chairs were nearly all ripped. The hall carpets were stained. Made me very weary on how clean the room actually was with all the combined experience above. Every staff member was nice, pleasant and helpful. This is a totally different stay than two years ago when we were here. We will not be back and honestly feel for what we paid did not get even close to our money’s worth.

The hotel is relatively new, clean and safe. Parking is just barely sufficient and spaces are a little small. They suggested parking at their neighboring property. King room was very nice. My only complaints: the LED vanity lighting in the bathroom was having issues. The hotel has programmed the thermostats to only allow guests to adjust the temperature down to 65 degrees. The room was warmer than I prefer to sleep at night

I was not able to sleep comfortably during any of the 3 nights because the mattress was a mesa, it had 3 huge holes in it. I asked from the very first day to change my room or at least the mattress, but they never did because they “had no system.” In general, the staff was not very attentive and the hotel was beginning to feel neglected. It was a shame for such a good location.

The staff members were rude when I was trying to express my frustration with parking and noise. The property hosted an event with a Dj that literally made the walls shake in our second story room. When I called because I assumed the noise was coming from a room I was met with attitude and was told to just deal with it. With the event came no parking. Our options were to park on the back side of the neighboring hotel or to park in the street that had no street lights or security. When I asked what happens if something happens to my car I was told “I’m a front desk worker I don’t know what you want from me.” This was just mine and my husbands experience this doesn’t even include the 5 other rooms that were booked for the people I attended a wedding with. There are plenty of other options in the San Marcos, New Braunfels, and Seguin area I would save my money and not stay at the Courtyard by Marriott. Honestly I’m probably would avoid anything by Marriott if that is the way they train their employees to handle concerns of paying customers.

I had a great stay at the Courtyard San Marcos! The room was super clean, spacious, and comfortable—definitely one of the better hotel stays I’ve had recently. The bathroom was especially nice with a big walk-in shower. The staff was friendly and really helpful. I had a special request to stay on the first floor, and they were more than happy to accommodate me. Big shoutout to Linda at the front desk—she went above and beyond to help us with a small issue and made the whole experience stress-free.
