La Quinta Inn & Suites South Padre Island

Not family friendly during Spring Break

Points positifs : This hotel is in a nice setting, across the street from nature exploration opportunities for families, and right on the beach. It features a good breakfast and free parking. It is a good distance from the main tourist traps.

Points négatifs : This was the wrong choice for a Spring Break stay with my family. It was cluttered with college students and definitely not in the condition I would expect and desire for a family stay. I felt unsafe to leave my room with my young children due to the ridiculous behavior of drunk and vulgar teenagers and young adults. The hotel is right next to a very large, open air, drunk party beach facility that plays music all night and hosts police and all sorts of things young children should not be around.

Points positifs : The breakfast was great. We complimented the chef on great chorizo and eggs. The variety of food was great. The night staff was helpful and quick to respond. The hotel staff in general was very nice and hospitiable.

Points négatifs : The hotel seemed to be overpriced, for such a dated hotel. The halls had a strange dirty smell. The elevators never seemed to work. Our room was just, ok. The pubic hair all over the bathroom floor and door was pretty gross. The shower curtain was dingy and dirty. The AC didn't work properly, never seemed to cool the room. We definitely will not stay here again.

Points positifs : The location beachfront access

Points négatifs : The price and the bar next door placed their portable bathrooms right next to the pool so while in the pool you have to put up with the stench of portable restrooms. Very bad odors especially by the kids pool. Even though they have security guards there were still so many people who were not staying there utilizing the pool. For the near 400 dollars I spent I would have liked to not put up with those issues.

Points positifs : The only good thing is that the hotel is located beside the beach.

Points négatifs : The hotel Was filled with dogs that's okay if you're a dog lover, the walls of the room were too thin they kept waking us up all night.
