Located at the north end of the commercial section of South Padre Island (we really liked that). We enjoyed a few days at the pool and were able to ride our bikes to see the sights.
Breakfast was not worth the upgrade.

This is the worst Hilton I have stayed at. The rooms are outdated and it is in desperate need for a remodel. Our toilet was leaking water and maintenance never came to fix the issue despite a request for it.

Unfortunately this is a subpar Hilton Hotel (Owner being Bharar R Patel). Great Location and the staff works hard to provide great service to the guest but the owner has not reinvested in upgrades or general maintenance. The rooms are moldy and you will have to change rooms to find one that has only a slight stench of mold and mildew. I stayed there on 10/19/2025 and the hallways had not been vacuumed and the place is in disrepair outside of the nice lobby. I paid $200 for an oceanside room so not a 5 star place but the value we received was for a 2 star property. You will be better of paying around $250-300 for an American owned AirBnB.
