“Above Average/Perfect Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

I have been a traveler to North Padre Island for 49 years. The Island lives off of mostly the tourist trade especially in the summer time. It has the open ocean called the Gulf of Mexico. Fishing both inland Flats and deep ocean are readily available. The island is slow to develope and contained until maybe the last 10 or so years just run down fishing lodges. Today there are some modern places to stay. One of them that was established before most of the rest are the Captain's Quarters. Smaller than most others but run well. Small fresh Water pool, big ice machine, BBQ area, friendly staff. It is located within view of the Ferry Landing making travel to and from Aransas Pass a quick neat trip. Almost walking distance to the Ocean. The Ship Channel right in view. Big shopping places abound for swim items and tourist gear.

“dirty motel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed November 26, 2012

When we opened the door, the room smelled stagnant. The bedding was wrinkled and had definitely been used already. Blood on the wall from where some one had smashed a bug. Black hairs in the shower drain. No carpeting. Just a dirty floor that was disgusting. We asked for a nonsmoking room. The couch had a cigarette burn in it. The whole room needed a really good cleaning. I complained to the manager ?/ possibly owner? I told him this room is filthy. He asked if we wanted another room or our money back. We took the refund and went around the corner to the Holiday Inn Express which was pristine for $30 more that also included a hot breakfast.

Room Tip: Asked to see the room, before you pay for it. We learned a good lesson

“Dirty and overpriced”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

Where to start? The bedding was worn and had holes. The coverlet had stains. Dirty and worn carpet. Foul odors at times. All surfaces were dirty, worn or stained, or all three. Failed to clean room and make beds, although lack of cleaning would be hard to discern. The worst place we've stayed in for over 30 years. Refurbish or tear down!

“in need of refurb!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed September 30, 2012

Only redeeming features is its proximity to The Back Porch Bar!!
Other than that see through towels, mouldy shower curtain, bedding at worst needs to be washed and best renewed. Not a room to hang around in , or balcony to enjoy the view from.
Highly unlikely we will be passing through again but if we ever drive the Texas Gulf Coast again we will give this a wide berth! No pun intended.

“Great stay for 2nd year in a row”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 26, 2012

Stayed again this year and it was a wonderful experience. Friendly and attentive staff, good breakfast choices, clean rooms, great location. Only weekend noisy people this time was a motorcycle rider who kept his radio on when he started his cycle x 2 after 10:00 p.m. Other than that, no problems.

Room Tip: We usually stay on the 2nd floor --- seems less noisy with other people. Party people seem to usual...
