I have had the pleasure of staying at San Marco Inn on several occasions, and each visit reaffirms why I continue to choose it. The service maintains a consistently excellent level: the staff is attentive, professional, and always ready to ensure a comfortable stay. The facilities are always immaculate, with clean, comfortable, and well-equipped rooms. I would also like to highlight the tranquility of the surroundings, aspects that make each stay truly enjoyable. Throughout my visits, I have noticed an admirable consistency in the quality of service and attention to detail, which demonstrates the hotel's commitment to guest satisfaction. Without a doubt, I will continue to return and highly recommend the hotel to anyone seeking comfort, excellent service, and a reliable lodging experience.

There were cockroaches and the sheets were dirty. There was a man outside in the parking lot smoking from a crack pipe. I went to the desk about the roaches and the man came with a spray bottle of bug spray. Disgusting! The toilet was loose and leaking and around the base there was pee buildup. The chain lock on the door was broken and bent and the peephole was gone and filled in with what looked like playdough
