We stayed at South Beach Inn over labor day weekend, arriving Friday and leaving Labor Day Monday. I can see why many people like this place but for me it just didn't meet the expectations that you get from other reviews and the rating it has here on Trip Advisor. When we checked in we were not greeted at all... more

Check in is at 3:00 P.M.. We did say they could check in at noon if their room was ready. However, they showed up at 11:00 A.M.. They didn't have any complaints when they were trying to check in at 11:00 A.M.. The complaints came after we refused to refund their deposit. The allegations are simply not true. Please look...

This was our 5 or 6th visit to South Beach Inn. We love it. The last two visits we brought our daughter and 3 yr old grandson. The stay is alway wonderful. It is clean and quiet. The owners are marvelous people and very friendly. For someone who would love to live on SPI, it is our second home! We... more

My husband and I enjoyed our quiet stay at South Beach Inn almost 2 yrs. ago, and can't wait to return there in a couple of weeks with our grandchildren! South Padre is so beautiful, and we love a historic feel (so reminds us of the old 1960's beach party movies!). The management is great, the pool is lovely and... more

Very nice quiet hotel close to the beach. We had the upstairs room with a veranda that was great to just relax and leave all our beach stuff. My husband and son enjoyed the pool and the beach access was a short walk. Would highly reccommend unless you really want an ocean view. more

First off, as some of the previous reviews state - this is not a 4 or 5 star Hotel, so you need to know this going in. It's an older hotel and was quickly reminded of that when I booked my reservation with Stacie Sutter. The rooms are very clean and offer all the accomodations you would need. I likened... more

After searching on the internet for accommodations, I came across South Beach Inn. I personally like the vintage and character feeling of a place. This is why we selected to stay at South Beach Inn. My boyfriend and I arrived on Friday, June 20th and were greeted by the owner, Stacie. She was VERY friendly and made us feel welcome.... more

We stayed here for one week over the summer. It was me, my wife, my son, and our dog. We stayed in the efficiency room with the kitchenette. Our plan was to eat out once a day and then utlize the kitchenette features. This is not a 5 star hotel but it is a great way to stay a half... more

The South Beach Inn on South Padre Island is a dump. The furnishings are ancient (not antiques mind you, ancient), the appliances heavily rusted and filthy, and the smell of our room was awful. This was supposedly a non-smoking room. The bathrooms are disgusting, with urine, mold and ancient fixtures here as well. I phoned directly when reserving a room... more

Wow! What do we say about that?! There was only one guest who was unsatisfied & left shortly after arrival in July. We could tell at check in that this family was probably not going to be happy with our quaint little 2-star hotel. Two of the family members were busy selecting all of the spa & massage flyers on...

We enjoyed our stay at the South Beach Inn. We arrived late on Friday night due to a change in flights, but the owners happily met us to check us in. We stayed in a suite and the rooms were clean and well-kept. The property is in great condition and is walking distance to the beach, as well as places... more
