"I’m really disappointed with the way our situation was handled during our stay. It was Easter Sunday, and the weather was extremely bad with heavy rain and flooded streets. We called the front desk to kindly request a late checkout due to the unsafe conditions, but were told that no late checkouts would be allowed. When we spoke with the employee at the front desk, her behavior was very unprofessional. We tried to explain that all guests were struggling to leave at the same time, with cars backed up and people loading their belongings in difficult conditions. We respectfully asked if the fee could at least be waived or reduced considering the situation, but there was no understanding or willingness to help. We weren’t going to walk numerous times back and forth to load our belongings in pouring rain just to meet the exact checkout time. We did the best we could given the circumstances. We ended up leaving around 11:45 AM, onl 45 minutes past checkout, and were still charged $25 for every 30 minutes after 11:00 AM. There was no compassion or flexibility shown, even though the circumstances were beyond our control. On top of that, we were charged $20 for a second parking permit. When we returned from dinner, there was no parking available, and we were told to park on the grass area by the office. Paying for parking and then not having an actual space available was very frustrating and unacceptable. Overall, this experience left us feeling frustrated and unvalued as guests. "

"I recently stayed at Ramada in South Padre Island, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The hotel was very noisy, which made it hard to relax or get a good night’s sleep. The room itself felt neglected — there were no basic toiletries like shower gel, shampoo, or even soap provided, which was quite surprising. The furniture is clearly outdated, and several items were worn out or broken, giving the space an overall run-down feel. Breakfast was another letdown. The options were extremely limited — mainly a couple of cereal choices, some pastries, and waffles. However, there were huge lines just to use the waffle makers, making it inconvenient and time-consuming. On top of that, the breakfast area was overcrowded, with not nearly enough tables to accommodate guests. Overall, this stay felt more frustrating than comfortable, and I wouldn’t choose this hotel again."

"Excellent stay even though it was cold outside my kids wanted to be in the pool. Staff warmed up the pool for the kids to be comfortable."

"Clean room staff was kind "

"Never stay thr again very poor customer service. My kids went to ask for a towel cuz they were getting in the pool and they went up to front desk to ask and ignored them like they were stupid. I ask if we can finish eating cuz I was done bbqing out back and they said we can't be on the property after 11am check out time. I'll will never stay thr again "

"Pet-Friendly "

"We had a great stay here! We loved the direct access to the beach, awesome pool, and the food onsite at Barry’s bistro/beach bar was well priced and some of the best we had! The rooms were cleaned and while not a brand new hotel, they have updated it so it feels refreshed. They are pet friendly so there were lots of dogs, which was a first for us to see so many in a hotel but luckily there was not a ton of barking."
