Padre South Hotel On The Beach

Totally insufficient. Have stayed at Super 8 Motels that have given a better breakfast. Hardly any fruit, no meat. Ran out of food every day.

This is a small sample of what was wrong with this room. If you wanted to get there earlier than the 4:00 check in, there was no place to change into your bathing suit. Only a restroom on the entry floor that could hold only 2 people. There was a line and we waited an hour. No beach towels, although were told that there would be some. Had to turn in a bath? towel in order to get a "beach towel" and then there were none. You could not get an extra towel for your room under any circumstances. They held on to them, because "they said" they were very short of towels and noone was buying anymore. No ice, we had to buy it at $1.00 for a small bag and then they lost the bag. There was no ice available after that. Room was full of OLD furniture, very worn. Looked like the salvation army. There was a lamp in 2nd bedroom, only light in there, but the plug, only plug, was behind the bed headrest, that was nailed to the wall. Never could get our messages. Talked to front desk several times, but they didn't know what to do???? Whatever they told you did not work and they could not retrieve messages either.

The bed was very comfy.

The hotel is rundown and could use updating. The ac unit on the outside was falling apart. There was no blow dryer in the room. It would be more useful if the path to/from beach went directly to the foot wash area.
