Padre South Hotel On The Beach

8/10 Good
"The staff was fantastic and super friendly. I gave it 4-stars because the rooms are dated (sofa very soft, mirror with corrosion, super old stove). The weekend breakfast is "meh" --- just junk food for the masses and only 2 hours a morning. If the hotel was updated it would be fantastic. The bed was very good and my partial ocean view was very good. Much quieter than the "rose" hotel at the other end of the island. Overall, very good experience."
