The Crystal River Inn  

In the heart of downtown San Marcos, a boutique, romantic hotel steps away from the town square. Minutes from Texas State University, Witliff Collections and Texas Music Theater, and about an 8-minute drive to San Marcos Premium Outlets. Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is roughly 34 miles away.

A small, stylish inn centered around a leafy garden and event-ready banquet space—popular for weddings and weekend getaways. Rooms are individually decorated and air-conditioned with private bathrooms and Smart TVs; bathrooms feature tubs or showers and complimentary toiletries. Housekeeping is available on request and a 24-hour front desk handles arrivals and local planning.

Wake up to garden mornings and enjoy complimentary wireless internet and concierge service. On-site perks include a hair salon, spa/massage offerings, a library and a banquet hall for events. Free self-parking is provided and a roundtrip airport shuttle is available for a surcharge.

A computer station, dry cleaning/laundry services and a library support longer stays. Free self-parking and a staffed front desk make arrivals easy.

Under new ownership the property no longer serves a complimentary breakfast. On-site dining options are limited and some dining venues are closed on several days of the week.
