January-February Specials

The winter is actually a beautiful peaceful time in San Marcos. The river is extra-clear, the tourists are scarce, the students are quieter than usual, and shopping at the Outlet Mall is stunning because everything’s on sale! Come for 2 weekdays S-Th anytime between New Year’s and February 9, 2023…and enjoy 30% off your chosen room.

Or….forget the shopping and let us send you gift certificates that you can use for upcoming birthdays, anniversaries, or holidays like Valentine’s (Feb. 10-14) or Mardi Gras (Feb 17-21). We’ll credit your giftees with 15% more than you actually spend on the certificate, which can be in any increment that you want from $50 on up. Do you know someone who deserves a winter getaway? Two nights at the inn, breakfast in bed, and a welcoming fruit/cheese platter are sure to sweeten their day.

Our New Year’s mystery was full; but January 27-28 still has room. So do February 24-25 and March 24-25, but January is a deeply discounted price 😊… so if anyone has a January birthday, anniversary, or just the need to go do something fun, this deal is waiting for you! Come laugh your hearts out with hot toddies in hand.

Crystal River Inn
A classic boutique hotel in the heart of San Marcos, Tx

Nestled in the center of San Marcos, at the gateway to the magical Texas Hill Country, lies the historic Crystal River Inn. Just 5 blocks from the crystal-clear San Marcos River, we are the town’s only boutique hotel and moreover, the oldest inn in Texas continually operated by the same family. We’ve been here since 1984, offering simple elegance and lots of Hill Country fun. You’ll have your choice of 9 designer rooms in 2 historic buildings, each with unique features such as fireplaces, canopied beds, and luxurious tubs. Your overnight stay will include a great seated, plated breakfast with favorites like bananas foster crepes, quiche with hollandaise, or eggs benedict. Then, we invite you to relax, be lazy, and do nothing....or, enjoy an uproarious murder mystery, a beautiful garden wedding, an unparalleled outlet and downtown shopping, or a fun local festival. The sparkling nearby river is waiting to show you the best in all kinds of year-round water sports. No matter what you’re in the mood for, our Texas-friendly family team is here to send you home with wonderful memories.
