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.

The rooms are comfortable. Our room was clean. The only thing is the mini fridge IS mini. So if you plan on bringing some groceries i suggest you take a look first, we ended up using our beach ice chests to keep fruit and stuff cold. There is no coffee pot in the room, but they have coffee in the office and the PARKING is tight, very tight! Pool area is actually small and there are no restrooms. Overall it was OK. Would stay here for an overnight stay but not again for multiple nights. The staff was very friendly!

The room was dirty the light from the restroom did not work neither did the tv. The parking lot was a nightmare extremely limited space between parking spots. They charge 25 per extra parking permit and a 100 deposit that gets returned in 3 to 5 business day.

Not worth the low price

At check in - they assigned me to a room that already had guests staying in it. Rooms were worn down and not kept up with. Had to leave a $100 deposit that still hasn’t been refunded after 7 days. I called and they could take up too 10 days.

importance of review check

We invested in a resort charge of 10.00, envisioning a tranquil retreat. Unfortunately, this was not the resort experience we had anticipated. The dirty pool and hot tub. The absence of coffee and a malfunctioning TV presented initial challenges. The loud music and persistent banging on the wall and window made rest elusive. We sought an upgrade to escape the noise, and the evening clerk, Amie, graciously offered a solution for the morning. A corner room with two king-size beds and a Marina view awaited us. However, upon checking in, we discovered the day clerk had charged us $40 for the upgrade, yet the room only had one queen bed. We returned to the desk, and though the clerk empathized, no alternative rooms were available. This experience taught us the importance of thorough research.
