Southwind Inn 600 East Davis Street, Port Isabel, TX 78578

"I have tried giving this place the benefit of the doubt since we arrived..it’s in a rundown location and very rundown itself, room is way below par and not even as nice as an 80 dollar room in south Houston..has a house fridge with broken handles and over all just drab conditions..advertise free internet but the tv drops internet every 10 minutes and when I called the front desk they sent a man who said if I can watch the regular tv channels I don’t need internet..also across from a graveyard which I didn’t expect..only good thing is location and that is it..nothing else nice about this place at all"

"Maintenance will steal from your room. We were kicked out of the pool even though we followed the rules. We did not feel welcomed at all."

"Great Hotel to stay. very friendly staff so helpful. their pool is awesome so big and clean. rooms are also very nice with sea view. we will be staying again for sure!!"

"Long, but please read. The only reason we stayed at this hotel was because somehow the original hotel we booked was booked for next year instead. There were no other hotels with vacancy and we needed a place to stay. We stayed in one of their "apartment" rooms and it was terrible. I know this is a one-star hotel, I didn't expect much, but this was atrocious. First thing I noticed was the HUGE gaps in the edges of the front door. It didn't fit properly in the door frame which would allow whatever kinds of bugs inside. The smell of new paint was overwhelming. The bathroom seemed like some sort of DIY project with no insulation in those walls, because as soon as we opened the plywood "door" it was very hot. The water pressure was pretty much nonexistent. When we got back from dinner there was a HUGE roach inside by the couch, which was not surprising because of the previously mentioned gaps in the door frame. I've saved the best for last... two different times throughout the night I woke up in a panic because I felt a crawling sensation. Once on my leg, once on my arm. In the morning my fiance felt the same thing on his arm, then forehead, then his other arm and when he quickly moved it, he flung a roach to the floor. THERE HAD BEEN A ROACH IN OUR BED ALL NIGHT. He did not tell me until we had checked out and were on the road that he had also felt the crawling sensation and had seen the actual roach. I have an extreme phobia of roaches and if he had told me when it happened I would've completely lost it. To top it all off, we paid over $300 for this room. This room is not worth even $50. If we were ever in a bind again with a messed up hotel booking, I would choose to sleep in the car rather than stay in this hotel even if the room was free."

"Alas, we were there for a night in early June 2020 and have meant to leave a review much sooner. Our living space was perfect for the night and at the epicenter of all activity despite the newness of the pandemic. We followed CDC recommendations as did the establishment. We totally broke a piece of furniture while staying and notified the owner while checking out. They were very understanding and flexible as we did attempt to reimburse them for the damage. (We feel terrible.) But the owners were again, very generous and kind. I can't imagine a better place to stay in port Isabel. Many thanks!"
