While the staff was generally accommodating and the kitchenettes in the rooms were a nice touch, the overall cleanliness left a lot to be desired, which was disappointing. The breakfast options were limited and mostly not fresh. On the plus side, the hotel is a budget-friendly option and offers plenty of facilities that cater to families, including a pool that kids seem to love.

Rooms

Our room had a kitchenette that included a full-size refrigerator, stove, and microwave, making it convenient for simple meals. However, cleanliness was an issue with food found on the bedspread and hair on the bathroom floor.

Service

The service was friendly overall, and they were responsive when we had issues, like needing a room change due to cleanliness concerns.

Location

The hotel is located about a half-hour drive from popular attractions like Corpus Christi and South Padre, which was a bit inconvenient for exploring the area.

Dining

Breakfast options were quite limited, and some items were spoiled, which was disappointing. It wasn't a hot breakfast but had some basic options like hard-boiled eggs and bread.

Facilities

The pool area was well-maintained and enjoyable for family fun, plus they had BBQ facilities which added a nice touch for dining options.
