Howard Johnson by Wyndham San Marcos

My stay was decent. The room was semi-clean, the microwave and fridge needed mor cleaning. I did not like how I could hear the freeway all night.

Nice sized room with excellent AC. Bed and pillows were super comfortable.

Almost nothing left for breakfast at 8am. Just a bowl of apples, dry cereal, and instant oatmeal. Room card didn’t work and had to be replaced. Telephone in room didn’t work. Electric outlet between the beds didn’t work. I tried to charge my phone and had to plug it in at the bathroom sink area to re-charge it. Will not stay at Howard Johnson again

Still waiting for my deposit. Don’t stay here.

TV and alarm clock in the room do not work.

The room was comfortable and clean. However, the drunk college age kids came in drunk and wanting to party both nights , and we did not sleep at all. The first night , I didn’t complain, becaufrany we were scared . I was with my daughter . The second day , they came in drunk around 10 pm .. and I knew they were going out Again. For the second time at 2:45 they came in drunk , screaming , music concert level and roust. I called the front office and he did speak to them . But it didn’t help . The two nights we were there … we did not sleep !!

Old establishment and not very clean, but with accesible staff to answer to concerns.

When we arrived to check in I immediately noticed it was more of a motel rather than a hotel. Checked in got the the room and you could tell they had been updated. I was okay with the room since it would just be a one night stay. We went to do some shopping and had dinner returned to the room in the evening around 10:30 pm. We were getting ready for bed, after showers and we noticed the pillow cases and the sheets were dirty. The sheets had yellow and black stains, and hair from other people. I tried calling the front desk but the room phone didn’t work. Call the front test from my cell phone spoke with front desk clear asking for another room since, he kinda laughed and said well we are fully booked for the night. I asked for someone to come up to change the sheets. He said he didn’t have anyone. I asked for a refund and he said he couldn’t do a refund because it was prepaid though a third party. He then said he had one other room we could have. I went to the front desk to get the new room key. I get to the new room flip the pillow and it has hair on it. I took the front desk guy to the room to show him that this room was also not clean. I went back and again asked refund and he said he couldn’t do that. I asked for a manager he said there wouldn’t be one till about 10 am. He then said he had one more room that we could have. The room was checked and the beds were clean. When had to move rooms at about midnight.

Very pleasant staff and environment
