The staff/owners at this Motel 6 North) in San Marcos, TX were not just rude but were actually vicious toward my family. I think they only want drug addicts (that is all i saw hanging on the balconies and on the walkways leading to the rooms) to stay there. I watched two drug transactions take place in the parking lot while trying to get away from these horrible owners. They were rude and downright mean. And I heard it from the owner: we do not want ppl like you staying here: 'ppl like us, you mean, families, paid for the room in full, we would have been nice, quiet and would have caused no issues.' We were polite to start with but when she starting calling us names...very racist names, that was all I could take. BTW, ALL 3 OF THE MOTEL 6 MOTELS zIN SAN MARCOS, TX ARE OWNED BY THE SAME DAMAGED, MEAN, HORRIBLE, RACISTS. They only let ppl that stay there are like the owners: the dregs of society that no one wants or cares about. Absolutely the most hateful ppl I've encountered in a long time. DO NOT ALLOW NICE, UPSTANDING FAMILIES, ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN STAY IN ANY MOTEL 6 IN SAN MARCOS, TX. TOO MANY DRUGS. DRUG ADDICTS AND DRUG DEALERS FOR IT TO BE SAFE FOR NORMAL PEOPLE.

This property appeared to house mostly long-term residents rather than travelers. The parking lot was filled with rundown vehicles — one was even missing a tire, and someone was performing an oil change on another. There was a deflated kiddie pool outside one of the rooms, and the pool on the property appeared empty or in disrepair. The receptionist was openly carrying a firearm on her hip, which added to our discomfort. We also observed what seemed to be individuals involved in drug activity, including one person digging through trash and others who appeared to be sex workers. After checking in, we sat in the car for a while, taking everything in. The overall environment felt extremely unsafe, and we ultimately decided not to even enter our room — we left immediately. Given how unsettling the situation was, we strongly believe a refund is warranted. I would absolutely not recommend this place to anyone.

My opinion of this hotel is not good and these remarks are based on my experiences during my stay. We had reserved three rooms for four days due to a family member in the hospital nearby. Upon arrival at the hotel, there were police in the parking lot. Even though it was almost 10pm, lots of people were hanging out smoking on the walkways in front of their rooms smoking, drinking and cooking. It was evident that a lot of people were living there in the hotel. I went to my room and it had not been cleaned so after returning to reception, they gave me a different room which was dirty, had roaches and smelled of smoke and marijuana. My family members' rooms were the same. Everything on the property was filthy and smelled. Walkways were sticky and you had to dodge run off from the walkways as you went up and down the stairs. The hotel is located on a 3 lane frontage road right on a major interstate and was noisy all night long. Despite having reservations for four days, we checked out the next morning due to the state of the hotel and safety concerns. The desk staff did not know how to check us out and despite them telling us they would sort it out and get back with us, noone has contacted us and all of us are still trying to get refunds for the unused days and the hotel has been completely unresponsive. I have travelled a lot in my life and i was not expecting a 4 star hotel but do expect a little effort in maintaing a property and keeping it clean.

Daniel, the evening manager was very accommodating of two nights Expedia got my reservation wrong and we had to wait to get in a room our first night because we didn't have the reservation I booked. And the room we had for sure Friday was emptied out because our Expedia reservation was canceled, when I had only asked to have Saturday night cancelled. Daniel and the housekeeper worked very hard both days to get an unbooked room ready for us. But they seemed to be very overcome with bad parking customers and too many problems with other things like a homeless lady and noisy kids on skate boards.

There were cockroaches in the room, no hot water in the room, burn holes from cigarettes on the bedding, room smelled awful, the smell of weed was overpowering everywhere inside and outside, people had dogs that WERE NOT OTHER DOG FRIENDLY!!!! Our dogs travel with us and LOVE everyone they meet, humans and other dogs and I will never understand others who think it’s okay to travel with dogs that are aggressive. Just my opinion. If you have to wave your hand at me to stay in my room cause your dog is that aggressive towards humans and other dogs then you shouldn’t be traveling with your dog. And the hotel should do a better job of observing and keeping these “pets” out of their hotel.
