Top Rio Vista Park Hotel Reviews

Wingate by Wyndham San Marcos

8/10 Good

"This hotel is fine for the price. Our room was clean and comfortable. The staff were very nice. We would stay here again."

Best Western San Marcos

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was adequate (included scrambled eggs, diced potatoes, sausage links, 2 waffle makers (needed to run the waffles through 2 cycles in order to get them to cook properly), yogurt machine and a Nestle coffee machine which provided good coffee). Some furniture was a little outdated but beds seemed newer and were comfortable. Showerheads were high (great if you are tall) with good flow. Staff was very friendly, helpful and attentive. Only real complaint was that our room had an awful mildewy smell to it. Hotel was booked so we couldn’t switch rooms to know if it was just ours."
