My family and i did not stay here after checking in. Get to our room and uncover the bed to lay my son down and multiple hairs all over the bed. Front desk gave us another room and those beds had hair all over them. We went to another hotel.

This motel 6 charges a $100 pet deposit. There is no signage for this fee, they tell you about it after you book the room and go to check in. Also, if they have to wash the sheets after your stay they keep the pet deposit. Kinda figured washing the sheets was just part of the deal. Do yourself a favor and search for motel 6 north in San Marcos. Larger rooms, no hidden pet fee, nice manager.

The place was basic (no amenities to speak of), clean and quiet. Not much else to say. It's a pretty normal Motel 6.
