My work has me driving through Texas once a month. San Marcos is a mid point between my accounts so this is where I stay for the night. I have stayed at this Red Roof every month for years. I can't remember exactly how many. There are several other motels on this side of I-35 but this is where I... More

we stayed on the 1st floor, facing away from I-35. We had low expectations, and we were pleasantly surprised. The room was clean, with working A/C, and we had a good night's sleep. Pros: - location - cost Cons: - small parking lot - weak shower More

The air conditioner was so loud we could barely sleep. Since its the middle of August we couldn't turn it off because it was so hot. The room smelled so aweful!! It smelled like old dirty clothes or something. Oh my gosh it is horrible!! The room was right next to the freeway so we heard every vehicle that went... More

We started staying at the Red Roof Inn in San Marcos over 4 years ago. They are very handicap accessible, they strive to make sure guests have an enjoyable experience. We try to go at least every two months sometimes more often. They have also recently update carpet and paint and it really looks great. The mattresses are very comfortable. More

I stayed here for three nights while taking a course as a visiting student at Texas State University. I chose the hotel because it was the cheapest one I could find ($43 per night with a coupon code) that was near the university and had rooms you could enter from the inside of the building. Initially I noticed that the... More

I stayed at this hotel in March and had no problems - it was old and run down but comfortable and clean. This trip was the exact opposite! After traveling 10 1/2 hours I just wanted a shower and to go to bed.... but Red Roof didn't let that happen. The first room had hair in the shower - I... More

My husband and I travelled to Austin for a wedding but needed a place to stay the night before the ceremony. The Red Roof Inn was a cheap hotel right on the highway so we figured we'd give it a try. The parking lot was dimly-lit and in a run-downneighborhood; we felt safe leaving the car there for just one... More

After reading the first few reviews on this website we decided to stay here. BIG mistake! We were charged $100 a night for two queen beds and to stay in filth. We had already book three nights in advance so we were stuck here. First, there was two T.V.'s in our room, one was broke and they were to lazy... More
