Enjoy a one of a kind stay at the Downtown Abbey. Eloquently designed and conveniently located.
We are just off of the townâs charming historic square in the heart of San Marcos
Are you visiting Texas State? 10 minute walk Do you want to cool off in a spring fed river? 5 minute drive Are you hungry for a bite to eat or a couple drinks on the square? 5 minute walk
The historic Belvin Street in parallel to Hopkins. Enjoy a stroll down this beautifully conserved street and learn a bit of history about San Marcos. The Downtown Abbey is charming late victorian era estate centrally located in the center of San Marcos. It is walking distance to several incredible natural landmarks like the Blanco and San Marcos rivers. It is a short drive to both Austin and San Antonio. A perfect place to stay and relax or to explore Texas from.
The coffee maker would not work until it was Descaled - no vinegar around so didn't take the chance it would clean with water only which was disappointing as I need my morning coffee. Something the cleaning crew should not have overlooked. Got woke up both nights by neighbor guests in the Great Hall as the walls are paper thin - second night worse, loud and drunk 'til 1 AM. Bathtub not ideal and curtain would not fully surround so keeping the water in and not on the floors was a task - would have preferred a shower. Someone with mobility issues certainly would have a hard time getting in and out of the tub. TV needs to be hooked up to an antenna for local channels or cable as the apps did not work properly - one in Spanish only (Netflix). If you are looking for a quiet getaway - this isn't it. If you like niche old building which was once a Lutheran Church and close to campus it is fine. Old hardwood floors that creak when you walk is nice and overall the place is clean. Why the host would instruct the guest to clean the dishes and put the linens near the front door is odd considering the cost, seems like that should be housekeeping's responsibility.
Great place with historic flare. Easy to work with Ryan. Beds were comfortable and great seating for lounging. We will definitely stay again when we return. Thank you for the great hospitality!
Perfect stay for our needs while we attended student orientation. Quiet and peaceful. All of our needs met. Love the historical aspects of the building. Our only issue was a bit of a rain leak caused the floor and rug to be wet upon entry, but to be expected in a historic building.
I loved it! My friends and I needed a weekend away back in our old college town, and the location was perfect! A walk away from the square and just overall a beautiful place. Will definitely be returning!
Very cute space! Pillows were a bit flat, but otherwise beds were comfortable. Bathroom is a clawfoot tub only (not deal breaker, just important to know). It shares walls with other units, and they have a lot of notices posted about noise, so worth noting if you're trying to have a somewhat rowdy weekend with friends.
Fun and funky place with cute eclectic touches. The owner was communicative-I emailed him about a small issue and he was calling to come right away. I didnât need it fixed, just wanted to give him a heads up.
Location is fabulous!! It was refreshing to stay somewhere so unique. The bedding was exceptional!
When we showed up the the home, there was other peopleâs stuff in the house, beer in the sink- it was obvious the homeowner double booked the place. Thank God we didnât barge in on anyone else or vice versa. Def. not cool! We found ourselves trying to book a hotel room at 9pm.
When we call VRBO to get our refund they seemed ok that the homeowner double booked despite my concerns that this is a huge safety concern. Definitely will not be booking through this platform ever again.
A friend and I had a great stay! You can walk to close by restaurant and the Square. Great location for San Marcos. We loved the personality of the apartment in an old church. Decorated well and a great stocked kitchenette. The property manager was great too and helped us get in with the door code. This is only a one bathroom though, but the listing said two bathrooms. It worked for us, but might be more difficult if it is two couples staying in the unit. We loved this place though and would definitely stay again.
