Top San Marcos Discovery Center Hotel Reviews

Wingate by Wyndham San Marcos

10/10 Excellent

"The place was clean, good location, breakfast is ok"

LivAway Suites Austin San Marcos

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice place. Would go again"

Candlewood Suites San Marcos by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and comfortable beds."

Best Western San Marcos

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was adequate (included scrambled eggs, diced potatoes, sausage links, 2 waffle makers (needed to run the waffles through 2 cycles in order to get them to cook properly), yogurt machine and a Nestle coffee machine which provided good coffee). Some furniture was a little outdated but beds seemed newer and were comfortable. Showerheads were high (great if you are tall) with good flow. Staff was very friendly, helpful and attentive. Only real complaint was that our room had an awful mildewy smell to it. Hotel was booked so we couldn’t switch rooms to know if it was just ours."
