Embassy Suites by Hilton San Marcos Hotel Conference Center
No issues with property. Need a refund for my room because Expedia charged me $250 to change my date and never changed it with the hotel so we did not have a room when we got there. Had to spend another $200 to purchase a room with hotel directly. Will never use Expedia again!
