Holiday Inn Resort South Padre Island - Beach Front by IHG
The staff was great. they went out of their way to make our drinks that were not on the menu. We did not do the breakfast, but we did dinner and it was good. The rooms were clean. The only thing on it was safety. They did not have an extra lock on the door. They did not or we did not see any fires ...
