Residence Inn Harlingen

We travel to Harlingen all the time, and this was our first stay in this hotel. The location is great, close to dining options and the highway without being too noisy. Staff was super friendly even when we had some issues with the booking, I truly appreciated their help. Rooms need to be updated a little bit, but they were clean and very comfortable. Our room in particular had a broken oven (door was falling off) which wasn't an issue because we didn't have to use it, and when we pointed it out to staff they told us they were already working on replacing it. The hotel itself is very clean and we were very impressed, we would definitely stay here again. Once again, shoutout to the amazing staff!

Couple things happened that soured my experience. 1) the airport shuttle promised was out of service, so I incurred an $18 unanticipated cost and 2) a cockroach came out to greet us upon our departure

The fact that nothing is immediately around it besides the Outdoor World / Bass Pro shop, and especially that there is really no one parking for that store on this side of the building, means there is much less likelihood of random people walking around or checking out vehicles or people checking into the hotel, than if it was in a more dense area. Also, though, the rooms are nice, the place is clean, the breakfast is good with many hot and cold options, and the staff is friendy.

This is my go to place to stay when I travel to Harlingen.
