fair
Pros:

Staff were nice; the rooms were clean and sizable; beds were comfortable, and the pool and hot tub were good. The motel was quiet. Our request for no cleaning services and privacy was respected, and our requests for clean towels, etc. were met by staff. The free breakfast was good, although a better variety of foods would have been better.

Cons:

I would have liked a better variety of breakfast foods. The eating area was small, and had to wait to sit down to eat. There was not a staff member in the breakfast area at all times, often had to ask for items that had run out. There wasn't staff available to answer questions such as how to use the waffle maker, etc.. There was no staff to clean off tables or to wipe them down between guests eating; we had to do this ourselves. The motel could not provide maps of the island and beaches, and some staff were not knowledgeable about the island and were not able to provide directions. This information should have been available, and staff should have been more knowledgeable to assist with questions. The motel did not have any information regarding Island Metro or how to get around on the island. This information and staff who could answer questions would have made our week-long visit easier and more enjoyable. The last night of our stay, we needed a good night's sleep as we had an early flight home in the morning. At 4 a.m., our smoke alarm started beeping loudly. As we were unable to sleep, we went to the front desk to inform them of the problem. We were told that there was no maintenance available until morning (is there not maintenance on call at all times?) We were given a folding chair and directed to remove the alarm from the ceiling and just remove the battery. We did as directed, which did not do anything as the alarm was hardwired; the battery was only there for backup in the event of power failure. We were then told there was nothing they could do until maintenance arrived in the morning. We were not offered another room so that we could get some more sleep. All of these problems really decreased our satisfaction with the motel, and we will not stay there again.

Great location for a vacation with the family
Pros:

This is my second time coming to the Best Western in padre Island.
It's in walking distance to the beach.


My first was this year, June 4th through the 10th.

My second was October 15th through the 21st.

The hotel has always been clean and smells good. You can tell the staff works hard taking care of the rooms hallways and the hotel.

Both times I have come. The staff has been amazing.

Raul, the manager, is a people person.

He walks around the hotel.  He makes sure everyone is doing well and there are no issues. If there are any, he will address them and resolve them quickly.

Karina is the day shift front desk manager.
She is friendly and personable and will enjoy talking with you. She also takes care of any concerns you might have. She will give you suggestions on where to go on the island too.

Ted is the mid shift front associate. He is friendly. He is able to help you with any of your needs as well.

This hotel has a free breakfast that is good with a variety of food. There are two people I come to know, Liz and Nestor, both are very good staying on top of things keep the food coming.  They will always greet you as you are severing yourself with a smile and help you in any way.

Poor Stay at Best Western Beachside
Pros:

Location was ok, breakfast was average.

Cons:

1) Staff could not find my reservation and I was not given room I reserved on Bopking.com.
2) Housekeeping was every other day, we were not told at check in. Web site says daily housekeeping.
3) Safe was not working, staff had to called to open.
4) Security lights at back door was poor, needs to be replaced. This is a liability and security issue.
5) I was over charged for my room.
Will not stay at this hotel again.
