I have stayed at this hotel 3x. The rooms are clean, the pool & huge outdoor jacuzzi are kept clean. The staff is very friendly. One reason I stay here is that the rooms are $10/night cheaper if you walk-in or call first, rather than booking online, the hotel is on the beach with outdoor showers to rinse off, a... More

But Im happy to report that it was not at all what I expected, yes the hotel fittings and appliances are old, no LCD... More

Before you book this hotel decide what you want from your vacation. If you enjoy instant access to unbelievable ocean views and to the beach, without breaking the bank this is the place for you! The best time to stay here is off season. The staff is polite and go out of their way to accommodate you. This is the... More

STOP!!!! DON'T STAY IN THIS AWFUL HOTEL...We asked to see the room before check-in and the room was old, it stunk. Everything was old; carpet, etc. My husband was not going to stay in such a nasty room. She still charged us $136.00, even though we called and asked not to stay in that room...it was their policy.

We arrived around 11 pm the Friday of July4th weekend. Family of 4 with two boys ages 10 and 9. Our room had several issues. By the following morning we realized there was no hot water, the patio door would not open and there was something wrong with the humidity in the room (beyond normal for the beach) as the... More

This Motel seems to be an older hotel...but we had no complaints at all! We were right in the middle of all attractions. It was the best place for the money. We could walk to beach and kids had a blast in the pool and hot tub! We will stay here if return to South Padre again!

I was very scared after reading all the reviews people put on here. But when we got there we were treated nicely they gave us lots of free samples of things left from spring break like shampoo and stuff. The rooms were nice yes this is a old hotel and you can tell that its not fancy at all. Our... More

First off this hotel does not have a fitness center! That is absolutely repulsive to not have anything at all. Also during our stay we were charged $15 for a wristband, and if we wanted our friends to visit with us in our room it was $25 for each of them, but that was only for that day. The front... More

We came to South Padre for Spring Break 2011. Although the location is not bad (there is a CVS a block away and Coca Cola Beach is not a far walk and Chaos is right across the street) their staff made me give this hotel a horrible review. I'm sorry but when you own a business, especially one that tries... More
