Excellent service / great room

The staff was helpful and friendly, allowing us to change to a larger room to accomodate family gatherings. We were there for a death in the familiy and really appreciated their thoughtfulness.

Excellent Lay-over spot

We just spent a week in Mexico with our church group. Most on our team flew out immediately. Our flight arrangements needed to be for 2 days later. We stayed here. There are no eating or entertainment businesses within walking distance. The hotel shuttle took us out, but for a charge. The staff were friendly. Breakfast was good. We slept well and had a great shower after being out of the country for a week.

Be prepared to drive. If you have no vehicle, plan to use the hotel shuttle. Nothing is within walking distance.

Nice family friendly hotel

Beds were very comfortable. Decent reception on Wi-Fi. Staff was very courteous. Biggest plus was the Heated pool and whirl pool. Allowed me to take my kid to the pool when beach water was too cold for swimming. Room was typical size for this price range. Fitness center was fairly small (mostly cardio), but equipment in good working order and clean. Pleasant environment for a lite workout though with TV and water cooler.

Good stay

My experience was overall great with friendly staff, easy access to 77 and 83, and comfortable accommodations. My only complaint is that when I took a shower around 3:15pm the water completely stopped halfway through and didn't come back on for 30 minutes. I guess you should warn your guests when you turn off the water for maintenance work!

South Padre Island Weekend

Hotel was great! We stayed here over the Memorial day weekend while visiting South Padre Island. The drive to the island was about 35min but worth the drive for the price and overall hotel experience. It was great to have the suite which has a separate living room area. All amenities and breakfast included. Great deal!
