Hotel Americas Best Value Inn & Suites Casa Bella South Padre (South Padre Island, USA)

Guests traveling with children point out that the swimming pool on the property is a treat for their kids. Others just find it a great way to relax at the end of a long day of sightseeing and activities on the island.

The Mediterranean-style grounds give the hotel a somewhat exotic feel, and the addition of the fishing pier and boat dock onsite makes it extra special. These amenities make things convenient for those traveling by sea as well.

Many guests note the courteousness of the staff at the hotel, who are quick to help with recommendations and respond to any complaints in a timely manner. They are also always on top of keeping refills stocked at breakfast time.

While it's rare to find truly "cheap" accommodation on South Padre Island, some guests feel that the price for this hotel doesn't entirely match what they get in the rooms, nor the services that the hotel provides.

Several guests note that rooms smell musty upon arrival, air-conditioning units can be temperamental, and there are stained towels provided in the bathrooms. Some also say that the beds are a tad on the hard side and could use updating, so guests with sensitive backs might want to use an extra blanket as padding.

Because breakfast at the hotel is free and there are limited appliances available, there can be a bit of a line-up in the mornings. Some items tend to go quickly so many guests suggest planning for an early breakfast if seeking variety in food options.
