I loved our stay here. We were in the section across the little non-busy two lane road. We actually enjoyed this more than being part of the crowded portion on the beach. The portion across the street has a patio or huge balacony you share with the other 3 rooms (we had the big balcony). It was so nice to... more

Yea, the room is clean and the bed is comfy. However, in the shower it's either feast or famine. You either scald yourself or you freeze to death. The blow dryer doesn't work. The remote doesn't work. And now, the Cable is out. So what do you do? Go to the bar and get drunk and watch the game on... more

This was my first time to south padre island so I used Hotels.com as a guide of where to stay. I should of payed attention to the review. Most were poor. First off, the desk staff requires you to pay in full for your room before you even see it. BIG MISTAKE. The rooms are old , very musty, noted... more

This hotel is deffinetly NOT the Hilton but the location is GREAT!! We stayed in a section that is behind the main part of the hotel. The back section is farther away from the pool and "the action". But when there are 15 screaming kids in the pool, do you really want to be that close anyway? None of the... more

Attention All!!! This is the biggest rip-off I have ever seen. My daughters and I had our very first family vacation, wanted a hotel on the beach, and thought for the price of this hoteL, we would be safe. So wrong!! We were promised rooms on the beach. We were located on the annex across the street. The smell was... more

The Island Inn South Padre was not what you would expect for $80.00 plus a night, and that is off season. The beach was clean and the food was OK. I found the whole South Padre Island thing to be a tourist trap.Outrageous prices for rooms,$3.00 plus a beer anywhere you went.The worst part was the police presence everywhere. Starting... more

After seeing the online pictures, I expected exactly what I got. Other family members stayed in condos that were much more luxurious but with their own set of challenges. Island Inn was very clean and also very worn - like an old comfy slipper. Yes, there was sand but it was ours. We had a beach view from outside our... more

OK, so after reading some bad reviews on here (after booking) I was scared to death to go on our vacation! We took our 3 kids (6,10,14) to S. Padre for some beach fun and surfing. We love the location of the Island Inn! It is right on the beach and the kids loved that part! We stayed in a... more

We stayed 3 nights. After the first night, the room was not cleaned except for what we did. The only thing done was clean towels and the bed remade. None of the beach sand was cleaned up and we had to kill roaches in our room. more

We had booked a two night stay after seeing pictures listed on their on line advertisement through an online travel booking service. It appeared to be a quaint little place on the north end of the island, with great ammenities and views. It was a little pricey compared to what we could have booked at another hotel we were familiar... more
