Hotels in San Marcos, CA

“Unexpectedly one of the most charming stays we had in socal. Since my parents were celebrating their anniversary, we were met w the most beautiful and thoughtful welcome swans and gift basket (with snacks instead of wine since we let them know we don't drink alcohol). It was one of my parents' favorite stays and truly made them feel cared about. The staff was absolutely warm and caring and we really enjoyed our stay. An added plus was the cute and friendly robot that brought us toiletries that we forgot. Breakfast was hot and fairly good as well. Rooms were very clean.Loved our stay and would definitely recommend”

“It was so nice! Definitely get a room with a balcony with a view of the lake! It looked so beautiful. Loved walking around the lake and hearing the swans honking in the morning. Great if you bring your dog too. Just be careful with little dogs because there is a coyote hanging out in this vicinity and it will hide out in the shrubbery and snatch your dog up while you're walking (someone warned my friend). We saw it by the lake one of the days. The pedal boat was very fun! It costs extra but was worth it. A couple of the other options are free with your stay, but we didn't try them. The lake was so peaceful! The little coffee shop was also nice. They also have coffee makers in the rooms. This place is a hidden gem. Took stars off for the room downstairs with no balcony. It had no window you can open and smelled very stale and bad. Get a balcony room if you want fresh air. lol My phone internet using data was also really slow here for some reason, but they did have great WiFi you can use during your stay.Rooms: Get the balcony room for much-needed fresh air and a beautiful view of the lake.Also some random details - the bathrooms have no fans and the bathroom door is a sliding door that doesn't close fully (leaves a tiny space), the room lighting is pretty dim, and no microwaves although there is a fridge. The showers are large and nice and the beds are comfy.Food & drinks: They have a little coffee shop with fresh-made coffee and tea and some snacks, clothing, sunscreen, and reusable water bottles.Noteworthy details: All the employees I encountered were really nice.”

“I really enjoyed everything except that quite a few outlets in the suite didn't work. The beds were very comfortable. The rooms were clean. The exercise room was nice. The breakfast was adequate and had real bacon. The staff was friendly and always had a greeting when I walked past.Rooms: Neat, clean, well organized, but at least 5 outlets didn't work.”

“This place served the purpose exactly what we needed it for. They took care of us last minute, left us alone, had no additional crazy charges and check in/out was a breeze. It's not much for amenities but that really isn't why we chose it, it's location was perfect for us.”
