South Padre Island Hotels with Gym

As a platinum-level Marriott member for many years, I have stayed at many Courtyard hotels.as well as similar facilities. This is one of the most overpriced ones I have seen. It was off-season in South Padre Island (a resort area that has a distinctive peak season), yet the prices I paid were nowhere in line with the service I received. The biggest issue was the way that this hotel is laid out. When you first drive up, it is difficult to locate the entrance to the parking lot, even though this is a relatively large hotel. It is challenging to find a parking space in the main parking lot, so you typically have to park across the street. It takes about 7-8 minutes to walk to the hotel from across the street. I was surprised that they don't have a shuttle (golf cart) from that parking lot as temperature is an issue most of the year. Once you enter the hotel and check in, there is still a further long walk to get to your room. For some strange reason, the conference center part of the hotel is situated between the reception area and the majority of the hotel rooms. And, if that were not enough, the signs marking the way from the lobby to the hotel rooms as well as to the restaurant, Bar Louie, are difficult to locate. I don't believe that I have ever seen a hotel organized in such a slipshod manner. In addition, on Friday night and Saturday night, you could still hear the band playing in the hotel rooms. The furniture and the carpets are a bit worn. I found a nickel under a piece of furniture in my room, the cleaning staff had not done their job properly. Breakfast was not included in my room rate (even though I am platinum). They do not offer recycling for water bottles or aluminum cans, of which I noticed piles in the garbage cans. On the brighter side of things, some of the staff, particularly Vanessa, an assistant manager, were helpful. My room was relatively large, had a balcony with a partial view of the ocean, and everything worked in the room. The swimming pool is a good attraction for children. There is access to the beach.

Beautiful landscape with tons of palm trees at this resort. Plenty of parking space. Our room had very comfortable beds and a great view of the beach. The Windjammer’s Beachfront Cafe had a great breakfast buffet with excellent service and a beautiful view overlooking the pools and ocean. The Coffee Hut was convenient and served delicious Starbucks coffee.☕️ The Quarter Deck Lounge had excellent entertainment and bar service. I really enjoyed Comedy Show and live band/ DJ this past weekend. Loved that the band played a variety of music. Overall, I highly recommend this resort.

The problems: the website does not represent the reality at all, our dresser drawers wouldn't stay closed, balcony door was very difficult to lock and was unlocked upon arrival, the handle of the exterior door came off and we had to postpone our vacation activities so it could be replaced, the free breakfast was inedible, the room phone had no signal, the wifi didn't work, the manager was extremely rude and refused to work with us. The details: I booked this hotel for 3 nights but only stayed one. My friends and I were disappointed when we walked in the door but decided to make the best of it. Everything looked and smelled very old- not at all like the pictures on their website. The first thing we noticed was that the dresser drawers were open. We closed them and they fell open again. We put clothes in them thinking the weight would help. They rolled open again so we had to just leave them that way. The balcony sliding glass door was unlocked when we got there. I tried to lock it and couldn't get it. It took two of us to force the door shut enough to get it to finally lock. I had minimal service on my phone so i tried the wifi. It didn't work. I was going to call the front desk for help but the room phone didn't even work. I was able to call on my phone and the front desk person said that alot of people have a difficult time getting the wifi to work but he didn't know why. We left the room to explore the island then returned to go to sleep. We had a busy day planned the next morning. We had already found out that the exterior door was hard to shut and needed some extra force. But as we were closing the door on our exit to spend our first full day in padre, the door handle came off. I had to borrow a phone to call the front. They said they'd send maintenance. I asked for a room change. That request was completely ignored. Now our plans were delayed. My friends check out the gym while I wait in the room. The 3 men (who didn't speak any English) had to replace the whole assembly (front and back handles). My friends went to get our continental breakfast. They wouldn't allow them to bring in their water bottles from their workout. They don't allow food to be taken out of the restaurant. The pancakes were rubbery and the yogurt was warm and runny. The gym equipment was so dirty that you could see the discoloration. The restroom in the gym was locked with no one in it. So we decided to change hotels. We go to checkout and pay. The guy says I have to pay for all 3 nights. I ask to speak to manager. He has to call her. I get on the phone and tell her all of the reasons why we are leaving. Her response was that she personally inspected the room before we arrived and everything was fine. They always leave the balcony doors unlocked for their guests. They fixed the exterior door handle. And a lot of hotels don't allow you to take food out of the restaurant. I told her I would dispute t the charges and she rudely said to

First time visiting this Hilton location. It was a great experience! We are willing to come back and stay here again! Food was great, service was good, pool is amazing -could've been better if towels were available to the guess at pool area. :)

It's too noisy, not to mention the loud rain, and the unit outside the wall is too noisy. Fortunately, I was jet lagged and could barely sleep. Although the price is cheap, it is not recommended. No soundproofing. . . .

We had a great stay here - the hotel was clean, very close to the beach, and had excellent staff. We are IHG Platinum members and were upgraded to a suite overlooking the bay with a nice view. The staff graciously provided advice on what to see/do for our first trip to South Padre and gave us some great restaurant suggestions. There are also a few restaurants within walking distance and we would highly recommend Bar Louie. Pool area was nice and we enjoyed lots of time in the Texas sun. Will definitely return to the HI Express on future trips to South Padre.

I absolutely loved this hotel. It was clean & comfortable. The pool & jacuzzi were great. The beach was within walking distance. The hotel itself was in the middle of shopping & eating centers, as well within walling distance. The staff were super friendly, especially Lina who was at the front desk durning check in & check out. As first time visitors, Lina answered all of our questions & was a big help to us! We truly appreciate her & this hotel in all.

It was great location.. Love the pool.. Hot tub closed because of Covid..
