"Honeymoon Room"?

First, I would stay here again, it was a good deal. The price was very reasonable, and it was new, clean and quiet. Second, there was a large "Smart TV", but there was no Cable TV attachment. And this was very frustrating to me, Third, this room is described as a "Honeymoon Room - King Bed with Jacuzzi" or a "King Jacuzzi Suite". And the tub is very small, not large enough for 2, not Jacuzzi and not a Suite, But with all of that in mind, it was still a very reasonable price. And I highly recommend it.

Long weekend in South Padre.

Nice location . Very clean. Exceptional value. The walls are a little thin. You could hear the neighbors television. Also the towels were pretty cheap. Overall we were very happy and would stay there again.

Room was clean and beds were comfortable, pillows have a lot of room for improvement. Pool is not heated. Management allows people to park in the handicap parking access isles. When asked about this, we were told they do this because they have limited parking.
