Hotel overview

Located just a short walk from the beach on South Padre Island, this straightforward 2-star motel offers simple accommodations with some rooms featuring whirlpool tubs. Its outdoor pool and complimentary continental breakfast provide practical comfort for travelers seeking an affordable stay near coastal attractions.

The Flamingo Inn sits on a palm-lined street close to popular spots such as the South Padre Island Birding And Nature Center and Treasures of the Gulf Museum, making it a convenient base for exploration. While the interiors reflect a somewhat dated style, the rooms are generally clean and the staff friendly.

This property is pet-friendly, although a nightly fee applies, and free parking helps those arriving by car. Although there is no on-site restaurant, guests appreciate access to local dining options nearby. Repairs and renovations are ongoing in parts of the hotel, reflecting efforts to maintain quality despite some mixed feedback about carpeting and pool cleanliness.

“Proximity to the beach is amazing. Basically down the road from beach access. Rooms open to the outside like a motel. Pet friendly- pet fee per night is $25. Only downside was that the room was carpeted and in spots the carpet was wet”

“Honestly 4/5 stay! Really nice and sort of in the middle of everything! Not really the most cheap but still was really nice. Staff was super nice! The breakfast and flamingo inn costed money & they had washer and dryer with quarters. Overall a very nice stay and I would recommend especially for spring break. Almost a 5/5 but the interior was a little old fashioned but was still clean and decent!”

“We came in to town and called and let us come 2 hours early to check in that was a big plus. Rooms was ready. They are under construction in lobby so they ment us outside with our key and all because I had called in. Room was in good shape, clean , bed was nice , jacuzzi in room but didnt get to use cause I didnt know you had to call lobby to have power turned on . Came back from dinner to late to call . But nice. Looks like they really are trying to fix it all up. It was in nice location to beach access and to other restaurants and shops and other things to do . The full price was really reasonable for a sunday night last min booking . I would definitely stay there again .”

“We stayed here for our ADULT vacation, it was overall a fine hotel. The only reason I am giving them four stars is because it was just an average hotel, nothing special in comparison to the others around it. It was also very busy, BUT it was affordable and within walking distance of everything we wanted to do. If you are traveling with kids, maybe choose another location as this hotel seemed to be the choice of party-prone college students.”

“What can I say from the time I booked my rooms to when I got there and checked out. It was nice. I had read the passed reviews and thought those aren't recent so I gave them a chance. please if that's keeping you from booking at the flamingo inn give them that chance because it wasn't bad at all. Close to the beach, housekeeping was awesome and the front desk was super friendly The young man was especially nice. Now the pool had people in and out and the pool wasn't really clean I wish that people would not be so dirty because let's be honest we the people are the ones who make it dirty. Cuz it ain't the employees jumping in the pool . My rooms were right next to each other I had taken a weekend trip with my sons and grandkids. Thank you flamingo inn my family and I had a great stay”
