The hotel is clean, reasonably priced and very comfortable, the staff friendly and extremely helpful. The geographical situation is perfect for the Eastern Rio Grande Valley and its multitude of fine birding sites as well as for South Padre Island, one of the world's best migrant watching sites. I cannot imagine a better birding base.

Large Hummingbird suite was ideal for friends sharing. Great sized kitchen and lounge enabled us to relax after days out. The rooms were well furnished and homely. Keith provided birding information tailored to our needs and both he and his wife were very kind in providing help when one of us was taken ill. The shop downstairs provide us with... More

Thanks to Keith and company for a wonderful 3-night stay, and wish it had been longer. Very comfortable, quiet, and spacious 2nd floor Hummingbird Suite for 3 adults -- the only surprise was that none of the windows are openable. Extremely convenient and substantive breakfast and lunch items (at a modest additional cost per meal), which were perfect for long... More

Using the many excellent reviews on Tripadvisor.com I booked a week for my group coming from Phoenix, AZ. We were not disappointed--in the marvelous accommodations, or the warm hospitality, or the knowledge and abilities of the owner and his staff. And that's not saying anything about the great birds to be found in this part of the country! The city... More

Once again, the Alamo Inn has proven to be the best base for birders visiting the Rio Grande Valley. No other lodging facility in the region caters so well to birders, with an excellent store, custom breakfast and lunch options, very spacious and comfortable rooms, and superb hospitality.

We booked for 3 nights but stayed for five. the rooms are clean and roomy. More like apartments. We are not birders, but were open minded and wound up learning a lot and went to several wildlife refuges in the area. The price is right the people are nice.
