Very comfortable beds and all of the amenities that you would expect from a hotel. Great location on the beach, as it is right next to a Dollar General so you can get any items that you forgot to bring with you. It is close to the middle so you can enjoy the events on the north and south sides of the islands. However, the name is deceiving! It is not beach side, so if you expect to hear or see the ocean waves from your room you won't. The beach is only a block away but it's not beach side.

Hotel's Favourite
This hotel is wonderful! It is in a great location on SPI near Blackbeard’s restaurant walking distance to the gulf beach. It has updated rooms, good breakfasts and comfy beds. We walked a mile in each direction to see most of the island which was great. The SPI free shuttle bus is unreliable so we were glad to stay in a central location this time on the island.

We visited South Padre Island for the first time and stayed at the Best Western. This is an OK location it is located in the middle of the block from the beach side but you have to walk a good distance to the beach, but you are very close to the main road and restaurants and shops are within walking distance.. The view on your room is not that great. There are old rundown apartment buildings across the street and a vacant lot in the back of the hotel. Our room was right above the dining area, so it was difficult to sleep in in the morning because we could hear the chairs moving and people talking, and it was right by the elevator and near the Laundry area. As for the room itself, it was OK. The bathroom was a nice size, but there were Signs of wear and tear, which is the wallpaper coming off in the mirror in the bathroom, and there is a pad by the window that rested on the air-conditioning it was very worn. We were in a king room. It was on small. Housekeeping is offered every other day, so we asked for clean towels, and they brought them up to us They did offer a lot channels on the TV which was nice, Especially since it rained two days while we were there, it rained really hard all day! The breakfast food was average they had the typical cold food items, cereal and yogurt. The hot items were bacon or sausage one or the other. You can make your own waffles also they had mini egg and cheese omelettes. They also had toast, bagels and fruit. It was nice to have The breakfast option, if you did not want to go out to eat at a restaurant. There was on site parking it was strictly enforced, That seem to be the case everywhere on the island. You definitely have to have a parking pass Especially in the hotel parking lots. I feel that there may be an issue on the island with people parking Anywhere so parking is strictly enforced. Next time I visit the island, I probably will stay somewhere else check out some other lodging locations on the island.

I am sad to say that my stay at Best Western Beach Side Inn was very disappointing. I was there for two weeks with my husband and after one night I wanted to switch hotels. Everyone is doing their job to the best of their ability but the hotel is just so old and dingy. The exterior of the hotel is very nice and the lobby is fine but the rooms are awful. I loved the location of the place so that helped. The hot tub broke down halfway through our trip and they didn’t have waffles in the breakfast for quite a few days which was the only thing I really enjoyed. It was just not at all what I was expecting as the reviews were very good that I had read before booking. Two weeks was a long time to spend in a place that I wasn’t happy with at all.

We visited for 4 days in mid December which is certainly the slow season for the area. Obviously housekeeping was off during out stay as I saw the same white lint on the hallway carpeting from the time of our arrival until we checked out. This probably speaks to the cleanliness of the rooms. Breakfast was meager, think sliced white bread as the bread option along with chocolate muffins. We drove over to Port Isabel for breakfast after the first morning.

This hotel is a great value. Clean rooms, friendly staff, nice selection of breakfast items, internet, pool and fitness center. Nice and affordable option if you want to be near the beach and doing business in the Brownsville area.

Located next to a Dollar General, near the beach and you can see the Bay in the distance. The hotel is clean and kept clean by a professional staff and management team. Breakfast was super with Texas shaped waffles.

Stayed here for a meeting on the island. Had a nice room that was only one block walk from the Gulf. Wife and I had a good night's rest along with a wonderful breakfast bar. Looking forward to staying here next year.

Staff was so welcoming and was quick to get us checked in. Our room was extremely clean and up to our standards. Our room had a reding nook by the window which was perfect to finish my book! Breakfast was delicious and I can't get over the coffee flavor. Can't recommend it enough!

I stayed at Best Western Beachside Inn in South Padre Island Texas on 4/16/23 for my second visit to this property. I do not recommend this location of Best Western in particular or any Best Western property anymore despite being a Platinum Rewards member. On my second stay at the Beachside Inn I was given a parking card to display on the dash of my car with the name of the hotel, my room number and my departure date. I went to dinner that night in my car and took the card off my dash because I didn't want anyone to see my room number and know my room was empty, it was a ground floor room. I forgot to put the card back on the dashboard after dinner. My car was towed from the hotel parking lot at 10 PM that Sunday night and it cost $273.79 to get it released. The hotel apparently incentivizes the towing company to sweep the parking lot regularly and get any car they can without any attempt to confirm if it's a guest. It's kind of like posting a bounty on cars and if you're a guest and forgot as I did, it's your tough luck. I immediately complained to the manager and explained why I took the card off the dash and that I forgot to return it and the manager said he would look into the situation. I departed the hotel that day (a day earlier than planned) as I didn't want to stay there after that experience. After waiting over a week for the manager to get back to me and several attempts on my part to follow up with him I wrote a letter to Best Western Corporate and copied the manager. I followed up with the manager after another week by phone and he told me He would reimburse the tow expense. After another week nothing happened I followed up by email and he confirmed he would reimburse me for the tow. I followed up several more times by email and while he responded he would issue credit to my credit card he never did and then quit responding to my emails. I did finally receive a phone call response from BW Corporate regarding my letter about a month later and was told they couldn't do anything, but they would email me a case #, but I never got the follow up email from corporate. I've avoided Best Western for the 12 to 15 hotel nights I've purchased since.
