Best guest reviews of San Marcos

8.0/10
Good

San Marcus is a college town and the main square has some cool bars to visit. Ivar's River Pub has a nice outdoor beer garden and a place to check out for sure. I always get dinner at The Italian Garden when I am there as well.

Hilton Garden Inn San Marcos

Hilton Garden Inn San Marcos

10/10 Excellent
"Staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is close to the university and restaurants. However, the noise from traffic is too loud to enjoy the pool. Walls are thin and you can clearly hear your neighbors. We were disappointed that the bar closed at 10pm, but it wasn't a big deal! Overall, clean and pleasant experience."
