Holiday Inn Resort South Padre Island-Beach Front

To be a Holiday Inn facility, I was expecting better. There should be anything wrong with facility to be old, the thing it needs a lot of maintenance, elevator, parking, lobby, the pool areas, and of course the room where we stayed the water faucet form the sync the bath shower poor water pressure and faulty hardware. We arrived late night on our first of three nights reservation and we wanted to sleep in but oh surprise! the fire alarm went on in the building at 6 am and of course we woke up and ready to evacuate from the sixth floor, I looked over the window everything seemed normal, called front desk and I was told an apology and we were assured that everything was under control. The alarm stayed on for about 10 min! then went off and 15min later... it went on again!! Ok fire alarms are there for a safety reason and thank God there was nothing to worry about right? BUT THE FIRE ALARM WENT ON EVERY FREAKING MORNING WE STAYED THERE !!! That says a lot of how poor the building is maintained. I picked this place for location closed to the beach, but there is third party umbrella and chairs rental and there is a sign that price is $35...when I got to the guy in charge said the sign was supposed to be covered and the price was $70 dollars a day and only until 6p. We ate at the brunch there the first morning we stayed , not only was pricey... food was awful. Do not stay on this facility... no no.

The price you pay is not the quality you receive. No carpet in the room (at least not the one I was in), holes in the wall with cable line going through the walls. The room was big and the bathroom was extremely small. Barely room to move. Seems like you can take some of the empty space of the bedroom and utilize it for a comfortable bathroom.

The hotel is located in a good location, but the reception around check-in time takes way too much time. There was also this weird smell around the pool area like a rotten animal or something. I did enjoy my stay though. The food is good as well.

It was right off the beach as it had stated. The staff was friendly and nice. The restaurants in Shopping work nearby. It would’ve been better if they had heaters over the bar coming down right side during the colder days and if the water was warmer and that part would’ve been perfect. We would stay again at this particular hotel.

Great stay awesome staff beach’s access 3 pools and a bar it’s awesome I highly recommend it
