Hotels Near Island Metro (The Wave) Bus Stop - "Across from La Copa" in South Padre Island

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.

Everything was really good at the hotel except that we didn't get breakfast so they should include that in the information before booking. But other than that everything was great had a great time at the beach. Everything was good and also the pool was good

Recomiendo este hotel me gustó desde que llegué tiene mucha limpieza y bastante claridad se ve muy seguro las habitaciones están muy limpias y no huele a bleach las camas cómodas y la decoración de las toallas son muy bonitas y hay toallas suficientes la piscina es pequeña pero muy limpia y el agua está bien caliente el hotel está a sólo cinco minutos caminando y todo está cerca los restaurantes y las tiendas recomiendo mucho este hotel por la limpieza y la ubicación

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.

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.

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. :)
