    Stayed here for a couple of days. Other hotels in the area were sold out but was not disappointed one bit with this place! Staff was friendly, room was clean, spacious and comfortable. We loved the freshly brewed coffee. A big thanks to Mona at the front desk who found us a room to check in early to after a long drive.

    One of the better hotels in San Marcos. I checked in here for one night arrived around 10 PM and the check-in process was very smooth. Grayson at the front desk was a pleasure and even helped with providing a late check out since I had been checking in so late into the night. Room was clean very spacious provided a kitchenette was comfortable no complaints. They even have free coffee at the hotel store. The only thing that I was not super fond of, I stayed in room 207 near the elevator so I could hear everyone coming in and out, especially around checkout time, but it wasn’t unbearable . Would recommend staying here if visiting and need a place to lay your head.

    We came in for a funeral and stayed here. I must say the staff was absolutely wonderful! They greeted me immediately and as soon as I said I had a reservation they knew exactly who I was. I was very impressed! The rooms were clean and cozy. No complaints at all. In the morning the same thing happened. It’s as if they knew I was coming down and they checked me out. Very friendly staff and wished us well. Thank you Candlewood! We will continue to stay here!
