It was clean and welcoming. We went with kids and it was too loud at night. Not a good place for a restful night. People were out in the halls late at night, 3am, being loud and smoking. The deposit required for incidents is nit refunded right away. Staff said it could take up to ten days and I just hope that’s the case. I don’t plan to stay there again. Our peace of mind and rest is priority.

It was a nice clean room fairly priced for a weeks stay. Right on Padre Blvd., so it got a little noisy when the springbreakers arrived.

"Honeymoon Room"?

First, I would stay here again, it was a good deal. The price was very reasonable, and it was new, clean and quiet. Second, there was a large "Smart TV", but there was no Cable TV attachment. And this was very frustrating to me, Third, this room is described as a "Honeymoon Room - King Bed with Jacuzzi" or a "King Jacuzzi Suite". And the tub is very small, not large enough for 2, not Jacuzzi and not a Suite, But with all of that in mind, it was still a very reasonable price. And I highly recommend it.

Long weekend in South Padre.

Nice location . Very clean. Exceptional value. The walls are a little thin. You could hear the neighbors television. Also the towels were pretty cheap. Overall we were very happy and would stay there again.
