AVOID THIS LOW QUALITY HOTEL IF YOU EVER PLAN A TRIP TO SOUTH PADRE ISLAND!!!! TRAVELERS BEWARE!!!! I Had to check out after one night due the horrible conditions of this hotel then they refused to give my money back for the days I didn’t use. ROOM SMELL OF BODY ODOR!!! I stayed in two different rooms and they both smell of body odor, had to switch rooms because of the smell, the second room had the same odor. Beds and sheets are very uncomfortable, cheap mattress placed on some type of sheet metal box that makes loud noise with every movement. Pictures of the rooms shown make the rooms look presentable but once you arrive the see the low quality and poor condition of this hotel.
