Very nice hotel in a good location. The front desk staff (Trisha and Kerri) were fantastic. The beach could be a bit cleaner, but was OK. There is a nice beach bar that you can walk to just down the beach. We ate breakfast in the hotel several times, it was pretty good. Watching the sunrise from our balcony was... More

We had a wonderful time when we visited Corpus Christi. For the price, you couldn't beat it. The rooms were clean. The pool is wonderful with the front of the room enclosed by glass with view of the ocean front. The hotel is right on the beach which we didn't see that any other hotel in the nearby area had....

This was a nice room for what we paid. Comfy beds had a great time with family and friends love that its walking distance to the beach. Literally just an elevator ride and a few steps and BAM you are on the beach relaxing in the amazing sun. Water was great to take a dip in and very calm. The... More

Awesome indoor pool with ocean front view! Room was clean with a great view. The staff was very attentive and friendly. They met our every need. We got the package that included breakfast, and may I say it was well worth it! We will definitely stay here the next time we are in Corpus :)

This hotel is a bit on the older side. It needs some upgrades. The shower fixtures were outdated and the roof had evidence of water leaks. My room was clean, stocked and ready to use. It is a good hotel nothing special but somewhere you could rest and sleep in peace. The hotel does have a game room (not video... More

This is our second stay at this hotel. The first time was horrible, they were remodeling so we decided to give them a second chance. The lobby and bar areas were nice but the rest of the hotel had a musty smell. Our room was not very clean and we found several mystery hairs in our room including one in... More

I stayed three days for business at the hotel. The staff was friendly enough. however, you can tell this is an older hotel. That does not necessarily mean bad, but it felt like it had gotten a little too bad before the owners decided to do something about it. I was on the top floor and the first night was... More

My husband booked this hotel, so I didn't read the other reviews until after we had checked in. Seems people love this place, or not... I can see why. One of the other posters said they weren't sure how to review, and I agree. It was close to Texas A&M which was our goal, but it's pricey. An older property... More

We stayed 2-nights at this hotel in late March 2013. The hotel was convenient to the convention center, restaurants, and shopping. The room was comfortable and clean, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The WiFi was slow and sketchy, and the restaurant had mediocre food. Overall, it was fine for a casual beach trip. I would stay here... More
