Pros: Location(only choice due to family)

Cons: Parking tight, street parking available
Sleeper couch was terribly uncomfortable with it's big hole middle
Elevators tiny(4 people max)and totally old everything else.

They gave us keys that would not open the door. We had this problem with the the key... the three days we were there. (I also heard others complain about the same problem... key not opening the room door). It was not super clean... to put it nicely...just not up to standard! They have a snack bar by the pool which was CLOSED the three days we were there " no chef" they said! We will not stay here again. However, the location was good.

I took my kids to South Padre for xmas....weather was cold for the people of Texas.. but considering we left subzero temps.. we loved it. People at Sunspree were very accomodating...one fellow at the front desk even scrounged up a deck of his own cards for us to play in the lounge one night...pool and hottub were cozy even in the early morning ...

As a child we went to Padre Island every summer. This was when there was no burger king or hotels or anything on the island. Just a bunch of cars parked here and there and people enjoying the beach. I saw this hotel getting built. For many years I wished we could stay in that hotel instead of the tents we had. Just last week thanks to business ...

Booked the room 3 months ahead of time thru YAHOO. Our plans changed and tried to cancel the reservation 6 weeks before arrival. Because of Yahoo's clause that a cancelation would have a $25 to the full cost charge, the manager would not give a refund. Book directly with the hotel, they only had a charge if canceled within 7 days.
Holiday Inn Corp Customer service said there was nothing they could or would do.
Good luck.

Great view, we had a room overlooking the pool which was truly a beautiful area. Very easy walk to the beach, we were beachside and this hotel is on a great location. Lots for the kids to do during the day too, poolside bar, we spent our honeymoon there and we'd go back. Pets are even allowed if it is not peak season. Our bed was really ...

We stayed here during Thanksgiving 2007 so of course it was quiet and inexpensive - $70.00 for ocean view King bedroom. The grounds are very beautiful with a heated pool and one pool not heated and a (noisy) jacuzzi.

The room was very nice with fridge and micro and a balcony. (The sliding door would not open because of a build of sand in the ...

Not sure why there are more negative reviews than positive ones. My family and I stayed here and had a great stay. The room was clean and the staff was very friendly!! They were not even stingy on towels!!! The price was reasonable too.

The breakfast was great and the beach access was so convenient! Loved the poolside bar and loved the location on the island. We will definately be staying there again!!!

I typically stay at resorts when I travel. This hotel needs to remove the word "resort" from their name. This hotel is run down and needs a good renovation. In our room there were water stains running down the walls from previous leaks, bathroom light fixtures did not work. There are two very tiny elevators that worked only ...
