“Econo Lodge San Marcos University Area has an accessible location, but reports indicate that some rooms suffer from maintenance and cleanliness issues; travelers have noted stained linens, broken amenities, and inconsistent service. For those prioritizing budget above all else, and willing to accept basic conditions, this inn may suffice. I'd advise managing expectations.”
