From making the reservation to checking out they are friendly, helpful, and folks you would like for neighbors. For a pet owner the location is great with large grass areas towards the back of the hotel to the northwest and southeast. Many of the other guests are working in the area. What does that mean? No late loud guests or parties, no parking lot problems. Always a pleasant short ride to Mustang Island or over the new bridge to Corpus. Just finished a week stay and looking forward to next visit!

In any case, I still expected my air conditioner to work properly and not have to walk across the parking lot to the newer building at night for some ice (which they charge for ?$? by the way). Oh, and it would have been helpful if Scott mentioned there are no elevators in our building. I would have probably let this go because I don't like to leave negative reviews if it weren't for the obvious coldness of the Clerks. Scott never once smiled at us during check-in nor check-out. The other lady at check-out looked as if she was straining to be cordial. We are super-nice people, chatting it up with everyone and didn't even complain about the room. We felt so unwelcomed. Definitely other options on the Island.

They dont have many amenities, no pool, no gym, small non healthy selection for breakfast. The rooms were always spotless and just had a clean smell about them, that was prior to being becoming Hotel Lydia. The hotel acquired the property next door and with the acquisition lost alot of the things that made it what we loved. The rooms arent as clean, the smell of the hotel is gone. The carpets look dirty. You can tell the room cleaning is rushed, while not totally dirty the corners of the room and shower arent clean. The staff doesn't seem as friendly. You can't take away the small hotel feel without adding extra amenities. Unfortunately this may be the last time we stay here and I definitely wont be recommending this hotel like I would before. The words Port aransas rarely came out of my mouth without recommending The place, which wont be happening anymore. The hotel has become average possibly below average since it doesn't have any added amenities.

Dirt all over the floors, stains all over the sheets, toilet had poop on the seat. I went to the front desk and asked if they could clean it and was told "house keeping only comes in the morning". I went back to my room and went to turn ac on because the room was hotter then summer time and the ac was broken. I went back to the front desk and demanded a refund my two night stay and was denied due to their cancellation policy. She said I would've had to cancel my stay on Expedia 24hrs before the night of the reservation. The two nights I stayed they never had continental breakfast, not even coffee. I paid $319 for the two nights for a $41 a night hotel. They definitely used spring break as an advantage. The management is horrible, they have done nothing to fix the situation. They don't want to own up to their nasty hotel!

The staff is excellent, warm inviting and friendly and they take good care of the hotel as evidenced by the hospitality, cleanliness and value that you receive when you stay here. They are continually updating the rooms and are very comfortable. I find the mattresses and pillows of a fine quality. The rooms are clean and comfortable with very good air conditioning and heating that's not too noisy to sleep peacefully. Plenty of space to unpack and enough room to sit comfortably. They provide a workout room and a nice pool. Their free breakfast consists of good tasting coffee, orange and other fruit juices, cereal, toast (white and wheat), danishes, make your own waffles, eggs, bacon and sausages, yogurt bagels with butter cream cheese and strawberry and grape jelly. Checking out is easy, last stay i overheard a customer praising the front desk manager for providing a wonderful experience and value! I will always stay here in future trips to the area!

While not in perfect condition, the room was thoughtfully designed with flat surfaces and hooks where needed. It was nice to have a woodgrain floor and no carpet. There was also a futon for extra seating but it was not comfortable. The bed was comfortable, but the sheets had some areas with rough texture. The tub/shower was clean. The tub was slick. There was adequate water pressure and plenty of hot water. Prior to arrival, I was able to do most parts of checking in online. On arrival I only had to show an ID and agree to pay damages if I smoked or made a mess, and to specify whether or not we wanted housekeeping visits and what we wanted them to do. We opted out. Breakfast was surprisingly very good on the first morning, a Tuesday. Weekday hours were limited to 7-9 am, 10 am on weekends. There was lots of variety in hot foods, juices, and yogurt. There was a pancake-wrapped sausage on a stick, 2 varieties of eggs, some very good bacon, tortillas and grated cheese for those wanting breakfast tacos, and other goodies. There were 2 waffle machines and 2 batter flavors. The attendant was very friendly and helpful. I watched her retrieve bottled water for some people and bus others' tables. This was not the usual motel "free breakfast" experience, but something much better. The second morning was not as good. As one example, the pancake-wrapped sausages weren't fully heated, there were no tortillas, and the attendant didn't seem so into her job. The breakfast room is extremely cramped, but there are overflow spaces in the hallway and outdoors. This motel was a good value for us and better than a previous experience at this location. Maybe it's because we became platinum rewards members on this trip, but we can't be sure.

On my most recent trip, the floor was so dirty that I asked for the Swiffer to clean it myself. There were electrical isdues. There were roaches. And worst of all, there were BED BUGS!!!

I'm hoping I didn't bring them home, and I'm having to clean out my house now because of it. I will NEVER stay here again. It's very sad because it used to be my home away from home.

I found a hair accessory (quite large) between the bed and nightstand. There's a coin behind the dresser. The dresser itself has water damage and is literally coming apart at the bottom from it. The air conditioner is running but the room feels like there's standing water in the air. There are stains on the bedding and bed skirt. While the front desk was very nice, I do not get how people can say this place is clean. It literally is not. I will not be staying here again. I don't even want to take my shoes off because the carpet is so gross. I touched the bottom of the headboard and something brown and sticky came off on my finger. There's obviously no quality checks on cleanliness. Oh and the second floor ice machine is out of order. I saw someone mentioned that several months ago. Kind of makes you wonder... I originally gave them two stars but the AC is so fickle that I moved it down to one. One minute you're freezing and then it's never kicking on and you're hot. You can't sleep when it's like that! This place is a dump.
