We had about 4 nights to spend in PA. Visited a few condo's but all showed shortcomings mostly regarding poor maintenance or doubtful hygiene. Finally we checked the Holiday inn express, got a great rate and all the comfort we needed. The hotel is two blocks from the beach, has an excellent pool, exercise room, complimentary and good breakfast and... more

Port Aransas is mostly known for local condominiums, but the relatively new Holiday Inn Express is a nice alternative. It was a pretty standard HIX: clean, reasonable amenities, and courteous staff. Didn't try the continental breakfast but it was available if you're into that. Location was good, about a 3 minute walk from the public beach and 5 minute walk... more

We spent two nights here at the Holiday Inn Express. The location was excellent, just a short walk to the beach. The hotel was clean and the room was comfortable. Our room was on the ground floor, and our window was facing the outdoor pool. It was a bit noisy at night, but honestly, we were so exhausted from playing... more

We stayed 4 nights and 5 days here in Aug '09. The rooms were clean, the staff was very friendly. They had a kiddie pool that was just right for my 1.5 yr old and the main pool went to I think 5 ft deep. It was cute, had a cute waterfall. The free breakfast buffet had a lot of... more

The kids suite room was not a good deal. I will not ever shell out the extra money again to rent this rm.It was too small for 2 kids. T he playstation was a joke. No suitable games avail. What 9 yr old should be playing Grand Theft Auto? The one suitable game was so scratched that it was not... more

We just returned from spending 5 days in Port Aransas at the Holiday Inn Express. Everything was "as advertised". Clean, friendly, great breakfast, nice pool and close to the beach (well within walking distance). We chose the "Jr suite" which had 2 queen beds and a sofa sleeper. We booked a month in advance so the price wasn't too out... more

Very good location (2 blocks to beach) and convenient to restaurants/shopping/ferry, clean, attractive hotel, friendly/polite staff, room was a good size/clean, but loud air conditioner. more

We were there at Spring break but other than the hassle of having to wear a wristband to identify ourselves as guests of the hotel, we had no problems with the springbreakers in the hotel at all. Rooms are nice, modern and comfortable. We took the kidsuite, basically a room with a part sectioned off between the bathroom and main... more

We booked hotel online and stayed for three nights. Room was king suite on the third floor overlooking the pool. I was worried about noise from the pool but never experienced any noise problems during our stay. The suite appeared to be two room joined together. The front portion was the living area with couches, table and TV, then the... more
