WindWater Magnuson Hotel, South Padre Island

This was a slice of heaven. I loved the view, and the air condition was great as well. It was no Hilton but we are not paying for a Hilton room. The next time I come down here I am staying here again and bringing my sombrero.

It was very friendly. It was clean. It wasn't fancy, but then we aren't paying a fancy price. It's walking distance for restaurants and beach, and the free bus stops at the door. It is not 'fancy' but then we aren't fancy people and we aren't spoiled. We are seniors and we appreciate all the things they do for us. I guess if you are rich, go to an expensive place!

We stayed at this hotel for a week, an for the fact it was off season I guess 40.00 a night wasnt bad price but will be happy to pay more for another hotel next time,first the toilet wasnt the best flushing thing in the world had to flush at least 3 times to get it to go down, the lobby had ants on the counter where the breakfast was being served an the clerk said watch out for the ants, coffee was cold, or they were out of coffee an when asked about it they said oh you want some , well it will be about 10 mins, the donuts were in a box that were stale an dated 2 days past due day, the hot tub was not hot, not even warm, asked the office about it an was giving run around being told we will tell the manager at 4 when she comes in, the next day I was told we will get the maintance man which they never did, the room smelt of mold, ceiling had water stains in it,but as I said for 40.00 bucks you get what you pay for, but next time I will go elsewhere

This place is awful. I was awared of the location and the fact that this is not a 5 star hotel and I was ok with that. However, when I went into the room I realized I had WASTED MY MONEY. This is a run down place in great need of maintenance. The carpet was very dirty and the room smelled bad. The toilet did not drain properly. The room had an AC problem; it was warm even at night. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Was there for the Police olympics June 2006. Asked for 7:00am wake up call and got a 5:00am wake up call. Checked out and not even a "have a good day" or "thanks for staying." Went inside to ask some questions and girls act like it is a burden on them. Police Olympics will be there in 2008 and 2010. Will make sure the officers know to stay away from Best Western. VERY UNFRIENDLY

We stayed in a king suite for 3 nights and we were comfortable. nice balcony off the bay, you can fish there. pool was clean, very nice. Only trouble was a smell from the fridge, and parking lot was pretty tight when full. Location was comparable to other chains on the island. It is not onthe beach, but between the laguna madre and gulf. no direct beach acess!
