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 rooms and parking lot are in serious need of updating. The bathtub was in awful shape and the towels and sheets were like sandpaper, and the “blanket” was essentially a second sheet. The mattress was comfortable, the AC worked great, the tile floors smart with the sand, the desk staff was nice, and the pier for fishing was a nice surprise. The location was decent as well.

Relief to find a place after the south padre lodge debacle. The suite was okay. The table had drill holes, the walls and ceiling were clearly aged, shower was cold but ya know I wasn't at all upset. Good enough better than mold at the other place
