Nice for a short stay
This was a nice no frills hotel. The staff was friendly and very quick to resolve problems. Our room was missing the TV remote and the coffee pot was broken. Both items were replaced right away. The beds and pillows were a bit too firm for my liking. The room was pleasant and the location was great. Close to attractions and restaurants. We had a nice view of the bay from our room and the hotel was quiet. It is a pet friendly hotel. Our dog was very comfortable there. Suggestions would be to provide some hand towels and some larger bath towels.

Overall clean, nice water view, friendly staff.
The staff is great! Hotel is older but very clean. Beds were comfortable for the most part. We had a beautiful view of the bay. The room did have a little kitchenette that was nice to use. The toilet was super low to the ground like a height a child would use which was kind of funny but hey it worked lol. The only real issue here was the noise and this is going to happen anywhere in South Padre. The room above us was the penthouse and people were stomping around till about 2 in the morning and back at it around 6am. It made it pretty hard to sleep. The second night people were yelling and partying all night. We planned on a third night but after two nights of noise we decided to go home instead. It felt safe there till the morning of checkout. People were emerging from their rooms looking partied out and smoking out on the porches. One other negative is those blue lights right outside each room ,there are no curtains and they shine through the window into your face all night. Once again overall very affordable, clean, nice water view from our room and the staff were super friendly.
Port Isabel Lighthouse are area shops and restaurants are within walking distance of the hotel
View from our second story room.
View from the bed in our room
No curtains to block our the annoying blue lights right outside your door. They look cool when you drive up but not shinning in your face all night!

Friendly, quiet location, view to the north the Laguna Madre as far as you can see. Close to Lighthouse Square. My dog was very calm and loved the walks around the neighborhood. Also dog friendly restaurants nearby.

We all liked it! It was a great value, pleasantly surprised. The staff was very nice and the room was actually clean. I have never been to a place like this without seeing someone else’s hair before, so that was awesome. I do think they should add an extra lock because it’s just the knob...I read a review about this before coming that said they put a chair under the doorknob at night so I just did that.
