Comfort Inn South Padre Island Central

Comfort Inn South Padre Island Central

8/10 Good
"Found a great deal for a 2 night stay during low season. Location is superb at South Padre Island. Property is well maintained but you definitely can tell that it is an old building. It was clean overall but they could do a better job at it. If you can find a room rate below $120 USD per night I would stay here again, but would not recommend paying above that rate."

"Me gusta que no te pide adelanto ejemplo otro que esta antes de llegar a este me pedía 4,200$ se que algunos piden pero nunca tanto siempre 500$mx$a100dlls solo una identificación y tarjeta a eso le sacan copia y te lo devuelven, el aire super frio(me gusta) las camas comodas descansamos muy bien, limpieza no hacen ..supongo hasta que uno sale eso me da igual pero no dejan papel higiénico aunque como siempre cargo pues no pasa nada..lo que no me gustó las toallas son minis pense que se avian equivocado pero vi en la alberca mas gente y solo les cubría las espalda Otra cosa dejan todo para hacer café pero como batalle porque no tenía cucharas jeje ya fuimos a cenar y traje unas yo... la secadora se caía sola unas cositas supongo ya es del uso pero si son detalles (nada grave) solo tenerlos en cuenta en el restaurante no desayunamos ya que preferimos dormir después de las 10am pero quise comprar algo y estaba solo eso es todo por todo lo demás y el precio me pareció genial puedes llenar de hielo tu hielera"
