Brownsville Gladys Porter Zoo Hotels

"Staff is very pleasant, helpful, and informative."

"Yes"

"Large and beautiful hotel…parking was a problem though."

"hotel is old and outdated. Adjoining room could be heard talking in normal voice like they were in our room. No elevator? Have to pay to use the room safe. An average, old hotel that disappointed from reviews and description. "

"Everything was great! Didnt understand why people could pull wagons down to the beach but coolers werent allowed. Not enough trash cans on the beach. And breakfast choice wasnt that great!"

"Nice"

"Our room was clean upon arrival and orderly (more so than in recent hotels we stayed in). We had a partial ocean view and that was great. I thought the pool was nice our family enjoyed it, but there are areas in the pool that need resurfacing (where pool users have to touch). Gates were always an issue not opening properly. Loved the bands when they worked. Staff very very Professional and friendly. I think inside decorated well. I think when walking inside hotel (coverups should be required). String bikinis a bit much in lobby. DJ very unfriendly to specific guests would not play requested songs. Boardwalk partially covered and should be cleared, made it very hard to access the beach. Cafe stay very accommodating. Price for stay, great. Would stay again. "

"Beach view, great hot tub"

"Rooms were big and had very cold ACs. The property could use a little remodeling. There was no place for breakfast or coffee in the morning but I think this was because it was the start of Spring Break. Staff was very friendly and helpful. There is a McDonalds a block away for breakfast"
