⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Stay in San Marcos! Ignore the Low Reviews!
I just wrapped up a wonderful five-day, four-night stay at the Hampton Inn San Marcos, and I have to say, this hotel is absolutely luxurious! I can't believe the low ratings I've seen in other reviews—they must be crazy. This was a fantastic experience from start to finish.
I booked this room for myself and a friend after finishing a long and painfully eight-hour shift at the hospital that I work at. It was the perfect place to unwind and recharge. I even picked up my friend right after work, and he enjoyed the hotel stay, and after our long day, it was easy getting back to his house (only four minutes away!) and then just as easy to drop him off there when our stay was over.
First off, the cleanliness was incredible. The rooms looked nicely great and so clean it was as if housekeeping had just left a second ago. Seriously, I even did a quick mold check (occupational habit, perhaps!), and found no mold at all. The attention to cleanliness here is top-notch.
The location was also perfect for me! My friend lives only four minutes away from the hotel in the area, so it was incredibly nice going over to his house and hanging out with him afterwards.
We also took a refreshing dip in the pool, which was a nice way to relax.
The breakfast truly exceeded expectations. I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10—definitely upper class for a hotel breakfast. The scrambled eggs were nice and good, and the bacon was nice, crispy, and sweet—perfection! The coffee tasted warm, nice, and sweet as well.
I will absolutely be coming back here the next time I have vacation from work, and I will definitely be bringing my family too if I get the chance!
