The Crystal River Inn - San Marcos

Really nice and friendly staff. Rooms were in excellent condition and have a very nice romantic feel to it. Absolutely loved the breakfast. Good location too.

Genuine Expedia guest review

My husband and I did not find the Crystal River Inn up to standards for a bed and breakfast. The requested accomodations for my husband's handicaps were not met. We were given a 2nd floor room; he could not do the steps. The clerk on duty changed our room immediately; our gratitude to her. There were no lights on the cobblestone path back to our room. […] The broken wooden shutters on the windows left us exposed to anyone walking by. The change in room evidently did not sit well with the owner. She called to tell us the room we were moved to was undergoing a redecoration. They needed swap some furniture out of the room to send for refinishing and needed to hang new drapes. We welcomed the drapes and didn't mind the exchange of furniture nearly as much as we minded the attitude of the owner. We don't expect a hassle, particularly at the price charged. Read more

Staff was terrific...Very welcoming and accommodating. Fantastic breakfasts. Parking is a bit difficult. Lovely historic residence. Wifi is available, but few outlets in the rooms for all my electronic devices.

The hotel staff were great, and the location was convenient. My room was in an old rock house separate from the main building, and I think I would have preferred being in the main house. The room was nice, and clean - but the pipes were loud and neighbor noises were loud (and I had quiet neighbors!). The breakfast was awesome - I had to leave early […] and they accommodated me with an early breakfast! All three breakfasts I ate there were yummy! The location was convenient to campus (which I needed), there was a coffee shop a block away, and lots of places to eat in downtown San Marcos. Read more

This is a place I will visit time and time again. The rooms are cozy, comfortable, and charming. We were provided with everything we could possible need and the food is out of this world! The owners and staff treat you like they know you. The grounds are beautiful, along with being within walking distance to the river, local bars, dining and being right […] in the middle of historic downtown,and the cost you will save.....you couldn't ask for more.. .

Nice B&B in the middle of downtown San Marcos. A refreshing change from the standard hotel chains that are everywhere. Nice room with updated furnishings. Worth a visit when you are in the area.

Super convenient location for walkers and tourists. Breakfasts were ample, tasty, lovely to look at -- AND a healthy balance of fruit, protein, and starch!

Very clean and cosy B&B. Excellent location especially when attending anything at Texas State. The room was a little drafty, primarily due to the age of the house itself. Excellent breakfast. Courteous staff......overall excellent place to stay!

This B & B is very nice. Lovely breakfast and nice staff. I plan to go back for the Mystery weekend!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The Hotel was a B&B. We did not stay in the main house, we were taken through a small garaden area and past through a small parking lot to the Rock House. The Rock House had a small loby area and then 3 rooms. The room did have it's own bath, but was very small and dark and very old. The best way to describe our experience was just Creepy. We paid for […] 2 nights but only stayed the one. Read more

I took my mother for a belated Mother's Day weekend away to shop in Wimberley and stay at this B & B. When we arrived, the woman who answered the door didn't know who we were and said that they were all very busy with a big catering job. We were handed a key, told where to park and left on our own. The room was pretty, but the street noise and loud […] train did not make for a good night's rest. The television would not turn on, and when I called the number to report a problem, the lady who answered said she couldn't help because she was at her son's graduation. I had to go to the kitchen in the next house to get my mother some ice, and there was no coffee made in our house in the morning. We were told breakfast was at 9:00, but when we arrived, there was no one in the dining room, so we stood around awkwardly for 10-15 minutes. What should have been a very special, quiet weekend turned into almost a disaster. Plus the restaurant recommended for dinner -- we both had to send our meals back due to being undercooked. I wish that I had chosed a regular hotel. Read more

We enjoyed our stay. Rooms were clean and the river side rooms had a dynamic view of the river and valley. The maid service was very good. Internect access was a pain. Not very human friendly. Restrurants were good and offere a wide price rance to choose from. Also the store provided food that you could prepair yourself.

A very nice stay at this B&B. Very well maintained 100 year old historic home with a great staff. Full breakfast -- eggs to die for, bacon, toast and fruit. Beats a lot of hotels with continental fares. Will stay there again and recommend.

I love staying here...the owners are very accomodating. I had to leave super early for a meeting and would miss breakfast, but they made me some muffins for the road the night before! Love that all the rooms are styled differently. Only complaint - hot water seems to take a LONG time to get hot! The grounds are beautiful too, especially love the sitting […] garden with the fountains and bamboo in the back. Will be back!!! Read more

The breakfast was beautifully presented, sumptuous and delicious. The room was very comfortable and the overall experience was just delightful. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

Shower, stairs to the second floor were not acceptable just plain dirty... a turn off as soon as you walk in. Towels and sheets were clean. Bed spring noisy, matress very unconfortable. I must have had worst room in the house. Patio was well maintanied. Service and breakfast was good. Bad experience for a weeding anniversary.

I enjoyed my stay at CRI. I didn't see the innkeepers much due to my hours, but when I did they seemed nice. My room was facing the busy street, and the street noise bothered me all night. The price was good, comprable to local hotels. The king size bed was very comfortable and my back was happy the next day! I will return soon.

CRI was a fabulous place to stay. I was greeted immediately and made to feel at home. They were helpful when I was overwhelmed by the number of restaurant choices. They recommended a wonderful eating place that I will visit again. I am already planning my next visit.

I had booked at the last minute and arrived Late. I was able to get directions from the hospital to the property from the innkeeper at 11pm that were not only accurate, but comprehensive enough that the ditz who gets lost backing out of her own driveway arrived without a wrong turn. The property was lovely. My room, at the front of the Main House was […] huge, well decorated with functional antiques, and spotless. I adore the mattress. This is the first time I've ever slept in a strange bed and not woken with a backache! Breakfast was ready when ordered and delicious. A fantastic stay in a really neat place with good people to take care of me. I'm excited to have found the Crystal River because this was the first of what may for me be regular business trips to the area. I intend to go back, and suggest you try it too! Read more

This is a perfect place to stay when visiting San Marcos. I had stayed in some of the pricey hotels before and was very unhappy. This place is beautiful, everyone is friendly and it is close to everything.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel doesn't give clear instructions about where to park. Your car is inconveniently placed in their covered parking and blocked in most of the time. I saw the hotel manager one time; and they could not give me a receipt as they cook did not know how to print a copy. The room contained a chair with a broken seat so useless. The room had a stale […] odor; and no hair dryer. Stay in a national brand hotel. Read more

Excellent breakfast. Not only your scrambled eggs daily, but real home made breakfast, fruit and great sweat bread.
