“Highly recommend for Winter Texans”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 5, 2013

The accomodations and location at the north end of the "strip" make this an excellent choice for long-stays..We found the pleasant social interactions with the other Winter Texans and so many of the staff really contributed to a very enjoyable stay.The pool,restaurant and oceanfront rooms are outstanding. The minor annoyances could be corrected.

“Awesome Place to stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 1, 2013

The Hilton Garden Inn in South Padre is the best place to stay period!! I stayed in Room 109 and it was a gorgeous sweet right off the pool with a view of the ocean. The room was very quite and the beds are awesome!! You can adjust the firmness of the bed!!!

I happened to bump into the General Manager Duvin and I must say he and his whole staff were very accommodating and helpful. Duvin suggested a wonderful restaurant to eat at called Dirty Al's. If you get the chance eat there. It's a hole in the wall but the food is delicious!

Trust me when I say the only place to stay is at the Hilton Garden Inn!!

“Fantastic Service, Great Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 1, 2013

I was very pleased with our accomodations at the Hilton Garden Inn South Padre Island, Texas. Our room #247 was large with a partial view of the ocean from the little deck with a couple of chairs. Sunrise was awesome.

The bathroom was big, identical to the one in the McAllen, TX location and very clean. My only complaint was the amount of light in there, it could be brighter. Also, this location had much quieter rooms than McAllen. I couldnt hear anything outside my room window or door.

The hotel is in walking distance via the pool area decks of the LaQuina and the Hilton connected to Claytons Beach Bar. This was very nice. I liked their huge deck. Too bad the weather was only in the 60's when we were there. The beach wasnt groomed, but it was beautiful! Hopefully the drift fencing will come down before the busy season.

Definitely would stay here again. The place was clean, the staff were very friendly, and i must say engaging. The manager must do a good job, becuase these folks enjoyed their work. You can tell from their attitudes and smiling faces everywhere you looked.

Room Tip: If you like sunrises make sure to get a room on the north side of the hotel. The south side provide...

“Fun, Fun, Fun place to stay, we loved it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 28, 2013

My first time ever to South Padre and I could not have been happier with our choice of places to stay, even from the locals, I learned that the Hilton has the best food on the island, hard to beat the $5.99 dinner special! Rooms were great, beach was covered in jellyfish, but certainly not the Hilton's fault, so we enjoyed the pool and hot tubs instead.

Room Tip: If you want pool view of beach view, you will pay a bit more, we did not get that but did not miss i...

“Great Room at the Hilton Garden Inn”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 28, 2013

We were more than pleased with our accomodations at the Hilton Garden Inn South Padre Island, Texas. Our room was huge with a view of the ocean (we were on the North side of the building). The bathroom was also big and had a great exhaust fan - thus no foggy mirror!

The pool area was on the ocean side of the building, which is kid friendly, and it also has a hot tub area. There were plenty of lounge chairs and a covered lanai area for those wanting a shady spot. Also, it is just a short walk to the beach. There was also a wedding near the beach one night with a deck for the ceremony. Highly recommended!

Room Tip: Make your reservations early with the HGI - they get busy on the weekends and holidays.
