Expected better

The laundry room was broke. There is a particular smell that is not fresh. The room was not clean. I saw baby roaches in my room. The experience in its entirety was not pleasant.

Would not recommend.

Rooms were dated and in need of work, sheets were moist on the bed and the room had a smell. There were bugs in the bathroom that would scatter when you turned the light on. It’s in a sketchy location of San Marcos, people were hanging around the parking lot at night. I personally would not recommend.

The floors were sticky like they need to be mopped. could use a coffe maker in the room. I went to front desk for coffee and it was water mostly. didn't try it. drove to mcdonalds and got some.

You get what you pay for

My room felt very wet. The floors. My sheets. When I asked they said I needed to run my AC significantly colder to dry out the room. It was already cold and wet and I couldn’t imagine colder.
