“Pleasant tropical property”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2011

This hotel is the former Sheraton and next door to the Courtyard. My experience is mixed. The room, hotel, and grounds were pleasant and clean. The open Spanish design and tropical vegetation is delightful. The staff was competent and friendly. The breakfast buffet was a bargain. The refrigerator is a nice size and is empty for use, not a mini-bar that is filled. The location is great in the middle of a strip of hotels.
We did not realize there was no elevator and did not request a ground floor. There were none available when we arrived and found out the building has no elevator. My husband had some difficulty climbing the stairs, Moving luggage to the upper floors is a hassle. The room smelled musty, but I suspect that may be unavoidable with the high humidity in Brownsville and the older window air conditioning units. The air conditioner was noisy. The bed and linens were mediocre.
Bottom line is that it is acceptable and I wouldn't avoid the hotel, but I would probably check out other options.

Room Tip: There is no elevator, so if stairs are an issue request a ground floor room or stay elsewhere. Rooms...

“Best Hotel for Business or Leisure Travel to Brownsville”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This is the only full service hotel in Brownsville. The hotel offers convenient free shuttle service to Brownsville Airport. The hotel is conveniently located across a mall. I noticed some guests getting a complimentary shuttle to go to the mall.

The hotel room was spacious and clean. The front desk staff was extremely courteous and knowledgeable. I had an opportunity to dine at the hotel's restaurant. The quality of food was great and the price was very reasonable. I also had a chance to have breakfast at the hotel. The hot breakfast buffet offers a good variety. Fresh pancakes made by the chef were very tasty.

Overall, I would strongly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Brownsville for business or leisure. I will definitely be back at this hotel.

“Bad attitude from front desk”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 July 2011

I booked two night stay on the Priceline. It wrongfully booked for us a smoking room. Although it is not hotel's fault, the manager's attitude is really bad and tried to ignore my request for changing other non-smoking room if somebody cancel their room. I left my contact information and told them if there is any available non-smoking room just inform me. BUT...nobody called me until I asked the front desk at second night. They told me there are two non-smoking room but I cannot change because I should show up in the morning for request. The hotel kept me stay in a smoking room two night and I AM very upset about that. Very disappointing hotel.

Had about 15 bites on my legs after staying here... Contacted management and never got a response... Had the bites confirmed by a doctor.. ... Hotel smells very musty when you walk into it. i stayed in room 350... Third Floor.... I recommend staying at Holiday Inn express. I changed to the Express after two nights.... Terrible experience overall...
