    The bed was hard, sheets, towels and bedspread were old and torn. No dressers to put clothes away.

    This is the perfect hotel if you’re looking for a little beach vacation. It’s right on the water and walking distance to the USS Lexington and Texas State Aquarium. It’s also walking distance to several restaurants. It’s definitely not fancy but i

    The housekeeping staff wasn’t on top of their game when we were there. They would take all of our towels and not bring any back. They brought in fresh sheets for the bed and removed the old sheets but just say the fresh sheets on the bed without making

    No Kitchenette at all, not even cup or spoon, Management told that they do not want to clean utensils so they do not provide. Basin was clogging, and service team ignored. Microwave not working, smelly fridge, Live spider below pillow.

    Great ocean view

    1. The smoke alarm in the room went off at 4 am for no reason. 2. Somebody knocked at our door twice and then just disappeared which was very annoying.

    The beach view

    Bed had urine had to get a new bed. Housekeeping was rude. roaches, smoking from next came into my room. Low water pressure.

    The hotel is in a great location. North beach of Corpus Christi, TX. Staff are friendly and courteous. The beds are very comfortable, memory foam mattresses in every room we stayed in. Four nights, four different rooms. Price per night was reasonable.

    We didn't like the beach construction. Awaking to the sound of early morning heavy equipment trucks. The rooms need more cleaning, especially the dirty windows and window seals. Rooms has a nasty distinctive scent of mold or mildew. No laundry facility.

    beds look new

    Dirty vents tons of dust& some mold

    4KennethPosted on: 7-19-2015

    Its location! Right on the beach. Go swimming in the ocean, shower off and then jump in the pool. Being able to do that was a tremendous plus.

    Its condition. Room had mold in several spots, paint flaking off fridge, AC didn't work good enough, bedspreads stained severely. Light bulbs were missing and out, everything damp, No seal around door so hot air blew in. Pay for ice at machine?

    6MarkPosted on: 4-20-2015

    Didn't get the room we asked for or booked we booked Ocean View but didn't get it was told there were none avaiable

    Being lied to

    5KevinPosted on: 2-15-2015

    Ocean view was spectacular.

    There was roaches in our room, non stop construction and lots of noise, the toilet would leak at night, which was pretty weird.

    3WarrenPosted on: 2-1-2015

    Location, proximity and access to beach was great.

    Furnishings were worn out and tacky in appearance, kitchen area and appliances were dirty. They were doing remodeling so was noisy and dirty in public and outdoor areas.

    5NicolePosted on: 1-28-2015

    Hotel was on the beach so that part was nice. Plus it's close to the aquarium and the battle ship. Fajitaville is right next door for dinner and drinks.

    the whole area is pretty dead, not the greatest location for an exciting vacation.
