    In one of the rooms, the outlet by the sink didn't work and the shower hardware was not working properly. Only some water was coming out the shower head, the rest out the bottom faucet. You couldn't take a bath in the tub because the hardware was missing. The other room smelled like smoke that was trying to be covered up by Irish Spring. It was not a good combo.

    The staff was very nice and friendly and the beds were confortable.

    Getting stole blind!

    Jan 18-19 stay was ok, but it is the Feb 9-11stay that I can't seem to get over . I checked in Room 207 for 3 days. I was a student and needed wifi and peace to study. My dog and I were the only occupants that went in and out the door. I also brought the bankroll that I worked for and made the last 4 years. Being retired since 2019, My constant companion, Buddy Love stayed and actually died from old age in room 203. Two months later, an identity thief stole all my money I had at American Express. I had to fight for it back. Right months later my car was totaled. In an accident, then 11 days later the ranch house I have been living in and fixed to my liking And lifestyle was set on fire by an Arsonist and still not in jail. Here it is a year later and I'm still homeless but enrolled in school trying to get back to 'normal". One of my friends let me land at their place from time to time. He is the only one who saw me go out the door with my $9600 down payment for a travel trailer with is my dream for retirement. I had a "can of corn" with my money in it. My friend told me as I left please be cautious if you are taking that with you. I definitely agreed. It was in a crate with other cans of food and coffee maker. I ended up coming straight back to my friend's place instead of the RV dealership. As I was putting things up, all my cans were all accounted for , except my can of corn. Which means there goes my dream! I had worked for So so long and hard to get together. I reported it to the police in San Marcos. The Motel 6 owner, Russ stated that he had cameras and there was 1 pointed at the door of my room 207 and If anyone besides my dog and I went in and out, THEY WOULD BE SEEN. The owner did not want anyone but his staff to preview the tape.

    The exterior of the facility is not very inviting needs to be cleaned and painted. With it being close to the interstate there is road noise. However it did not keep me awake 😴

    The clerks that checked me in and out were friendly, they made lite conversations about my stay and reason for being in the city. The location was excellent! I only needed a room for one night Texas State University Homecoming weekend. The room was clean and within the budget I wanted to spend for a one night stay. I felt safe and the room was clean and comfortable.

    Its cheap & you get what you pay for, it's obviously not The Ritz (if you expect otherwise there's 100 other places you can stay). I used the place only to sleep & shower. However, The kicker for me is I had a pair of vice-grip pliers for a shower knob, was definitely a 1st. Also there towels are very small & very thin so bring your own or ask for more (but it at least had plenty of hot water so I managed for only 2 nights). Additionally it can get pretty noisy. You WILL hear people coming & going periodically & can hear stuff from the highway (sirens are the worse). So I'd recommend bringing an extra fan or earplugs to help block out some of the noise.

    Was cheapest price in town & had a friendly staff. For only 2 nights I just needed a bed to end up on at the end of the night with a roof over my head & a hot shower to wake up to. I was barely ever there so served its purpose fine. And the AC/heat worked well & the bed was surprisingly quite comfy. *Actually stayed in a room with one deluxe bed not 2 (not sure why it says that).
