Overview:
Located in the middle of South Padre Island, the Howard Johnson Express Inn is neither on the beach or the bay (although some rooms feature a bay view), but it's in the middle of everything such as the Padre Island Brewing Company, a favorite local restaurant and Louie's Backyard, one of the coolest places on the Island. The hotel offers suites for both the business and leisure traveler, a tropically landscaped setting and a relaxing swimming pool with an incredible Jacuzzi. One of the great benefits of staying at a Howard Johnson hotel, as compared to a condo or beach house, are the free continental breakfasts. This is a great way for the budget-conscious traveler/family to save money. Even better, these units feature kitchenettes--a great way to re-heat your dinner leftovers for middle-of-the-night snacking! Suites are available in: Jacuzzi Suites, 1, 2, and 3 bedroom configurations. Pets are allowed for a $25/day fee. Units range from $80 - $200 during peak season. All rooms have private balconies.
 
Amenities:
This Howard Johnson features: swimming pool, hot tub, spacious lobby, non-smoking rooms, Jacuzzi suites, kitchenettes, 1 block from beach, 1/2 block from bay, close proximity to major restaurants, bars, shoppping stores and major entertainment venues (bungee jumping, fishing charters, water sports, etc), private balconies for each room

We have Stayed here 3 years in a row. the rooms are very spacious and our room has always had a beautiful bay view. The kitchenettes are good for in room snacks or a cold drink on the go. They have tables and chairs and little love seats to sit on so your not having to always sit on the beds.

This hotel has a great location, convenient to everything from the beach to shopping to restaurants. We stayed there with our children, and especialy liked the convenience of the kitchenette for eat-in meals, snacks, etc. The rooms were spacious and comfortable and very affordable for a family of 5.

Stayed here once and thought it was great for the price. We've only stayed at two hotels on the island (the other one was La Copa) and enjoyed them both.
