I only stayed there for one night with a friend, we were in town to go the outlet malls and really only used the room to crash in deep sleep. It was a pretty good deal, the staff was friendly, we were able to check-in a little earlier than the set time which was awesome, we were tired from the... More

I was looking for a room in San Marcos to attend my daughter's graduation at Texas State. I had made arrangements for only one night and when I needed another night I had to look for another place to stay. Enter Howard Johnson on Int. 35 in San Marcos. Two nights less than one night at the previously booked hotel... More

Excellent, friendly, engaging staff (even promptly answers phone in the middle of the night) - including friendly, efficient housekeeping. By the highway but still quiet in our room. Very clean inside/out. Comfy bed and pillows. We slept like baby lambs there! Fridge/microwave/iron + ironing board without asking. We loved the continental breakfast, too. Muffins, bagels, waffles, fruit, cereals, toast, juices,... More

For 1/3 the price of neighboring hotel/motels, it is a good bargain. Room was clean. The staff was very polite, helpful, and friendly. The location is not bad. It's not nearly as dated as others in the area in the same price range. I go to San Marcos every month or so and will make this my "go-to". For what... More
