The Crystal River Inn

The room was beautiful and relaxing. Breakfast, the pancakes melted in youe mouth. Delicious!!

My stay was decent. The frat boys at the bar next door were loud well into the night, the power went out anytime you used a hairdryer, the shower didn’t work, and breakfast at 9 isn’t very convenient if you have a morning meeting like I did. But big issue was after my stay. The Inn sent an email with a 10% off code for my next stay. When I attempted to use the code the next month it didn’t work. I forwarded their own email to the management and the response was that they didn’t know what code I meant, even though it was in the same email. So I responded with the code and pointing to the email text therein, and the staff ignored that email completely. When I called later the same day, I was told that room price was raised that same day and it was no longer available, but I could have another room for the original rate, but they wouldn’t honor the discount. Then when I said I would take it but didn’t think it was fair to send a discount then refuse it, they said I couldn’t have the room anymore. Just very deceptive and unprofessional management, and it was the owner’s decision not to honor the discount (that was supposed to be good all year). Lots of nicer hotels in San Marcos who don’t deceive guests.

This was a perfect retreat from Austin for a solo vacation. Such a sweet room in the Thomas House (next door to the main house) and a kind staff that made hot breakfast. I walked to delicious restaurants and cafes in the old downtown. I'm planning to make visiting the Crystal River Inn a regular treat for myself.

Great staff, wonderful breakfast, attractive facilities.

A/C was not nearly cold enough. Noise from the street and nearby bars was disconcerting and, when combined with the warmish temperature, made getting to sleep a trial. Staff was very pleasant and helpful. Mattress was super comfortable.

Great breakfast! The house was hot when we arrived. Luckily, we were able to adjust the temperature at our discretion. There is a bar next door that played music until 11pm and longer on the weekends. If you go to bed late, this is for you. The bathroom sink didn't work so we used a half-bath down the hall. The original room we booked wasn't available, so they moved us to another one. I've been to many B&B's and am usually happy.

Initially the parking situation was a little confusing. A lot of activity at the bar next door. Staff was was great!

This historic facility is charming. The room was beautiful and the spa bath and in-room massage made it a relaxing stay. Breakfast the next morning was also very nice.

Wonderful place to stay in San Marcos. Comfortable bed, garden tub, delicious free breakfast. Easy walk to small grocery store, restaurants, and coffee shops. Friendly and welcoming staff. Beautiful property.

Friendly, inviting staff. Super convenient location. Quiet. Comfortable. Breakfast was excellent.
