"Wonderful stay. I will return!"

Holiday Inn San Marcos-Convention CTR Area by IHG

8/10 Good

"Great staff and very clean rooms and properly with plenty of parking. Only issue I had is the same with every San Marcos hotel I’ve stayed at located just off I-35. Horrendous road noise 24 hours a day and finding a room with least amount of noise isn’t easy. Come prepared or get ready for a long noisy night."
