Holiday Inn Corpus Christi Downtown Marina by IHG

Superb

Hotel is walking distances to Great eatery places and night life gathering within short distance. Across the street morning mile walks along the serenity of sunrises worth every breath you take. Breakfast choices tasty options

Thought it would be cool to stay downtown. Was kind of disappointed, bathroom smelled like sewer gas and there was a plant growing out of the sink drain. Couldn't go on the balcony. Giant leak from the ceiling at the front desk... was not a great lodging experience.

The breakfast staff were awesome & the kitchen served really good meals. Thank you to the staff of Holiday Inn for making my stay in Corpus Christi a pleasant one. The Mariachi band at the pool was loud on Monday night but all together a great place & location.

Parking is very expensive.

The room was great the beds were amazing the staff were very informative and helpful

Leaving the hotel. SUPER LOUD YOU CAN HEAR TRAFFIC 14 stories up, DIRTY with stains all over, found pubic hairs in the shower and NASTY! Bed stains! And it smelled.

Old rooms that need updating. Not as advertised. Supposed to have been a bay view room high up. Instead 4th floor looking at the pool. Black mold in the bathroom. The staff was very good though. Don't purchase the breakfast total ripoff. Most other motels have better breakfasts.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Jose upon my arrival. I had previously made arrangements with him regarding my late arrival, and he assured me that it would not be an issue. However, the cleanliness of the bathroom in my room did not meet my expectations. A tile above the shower was slightly out of place, which made me feel uncomfortable, and I also noticed blood on the wall, which was quite concerning.

The view to the ocean Room very Dirty rooms

Location plus room was comfortable Pillows way to soft and flat

Poor

Excellent location, close to many bars, restaurants, sea front and music venue

Location was so beautiful!! Best Holiday Inn I have ever stayed at!! So comfortable and clean

Lobation Well the room initially assigned to us had a leak. The carpet was soaking wet as we entered the room. The second room, the shower head was facing all the way up and was unable to move it to take a comfortable shower

Exceptional

Our experience was wonderful. The breakfast buffet was a bit cold and overcooked the day we chose to try it. Every one was sweet and gracious but the food lacked some thing. We also didn’t have many alternative choices.

Staff great Easy checking in Lovely pool view Good sea front location Plenty of parking

Love it

10th floor Room was older, restroom faucet handles, etc moved, loose could possible come off. We had to be careful. Friends were not able to shower due to shower piece to change from bath to shower position came off. It came off while I was showering barely finished rinsing off. Did bring the metal piece to front desk and I informed them of the situation, friends not being able to shower...we were already checking out, stayed one night only... first bad experience, I've stayed here before a few times...it also showed 2 rooms at check in, Glad I had the cancelation notice to show or they were going to charge me extra room. Room on 10th floor was older room... restroom issues sink and shower. All else was good except those mentioned, very frustrating!!

The room offered an excellent 12th-floor view facing the bay. However, the noise insulation was poor, as you could hear everything happening outside from that height, and the balcony door was locked so it couldn't be accessed. Overall, it was still a nice stay.

I paid for breakfast that sad I dint

Staff was nice but the rooms were dingy, a couple doors down a drunk man was locked out of his room by his wife and he was yelling for a good amount of time in the hallway. Price for the rooms weren’t bad though.

Plenty of parking! Breakfast was good

,nnn

Room had issues…leaky sink, some light sockets didn’t work…

Room was dirty, the wall paper is literally peeling off the walls in the hall way and in the restroom, if you choose a balcony they keep it locked to there is no access to the balcony, the table had spots on it.

Good

Great views and location, Rooms were outdated and in poor repair and staff was indiffereent.

The rooms are very old and musty. The bedside lamps didn’t work and the bathrooms are dirty. The shower had hair all over the wall and housekeeping had to come clean the shower.

Very disappointing experience. The hotel is extremely outdated and poorly maintained. The rooms are in terrible condition, the bathrooms are dirty, and even the bedsheets didn’t seem clean. The overall cleanliness is unacceptable, and the property desperately needs renovation and proper maintenance. Definitely not worth the money. I would not recommend staying here.

Nice place for the price

Location was awesome, great atmosphere, awesome stay

Gift shop girl never acknowledged us even after we said hi 3 times. And girl at breakfast restaurant took two hi’s before she replied.

everything view bar. the staff parking

everything view bar. the staff parking

Overall building old, in poor condition - paid too much for what we received. Breakfast - poor value

Overall building old, in poor...

😎

Good size room

Exceptional

Lo mejor la vista al mar

Great Location, Close to Restaurants & Local Activities!! Room was fine, bed was comfortable... Though it smelled a little musty, but warm Gulf air can do that...

Other than being older and not the room not updated fully it was a great stay. I would pass on the breakfast. Definitely not worth 30 dollars for 2. Overheard the staff say the management wanted it to be completely eaten with no leftovers by the time it closed. So mushy potatoes, no sausage patties or bacon left and the wait staff was rude other than the chef who saved our day by cooking up some fresh potatoes.

Na

Not updated. Not that clean. Day staff was not pleasant but the night staff helped us change rooms.

Booked through hotels.com and then tried to charge full price again. Proved to them the room was prepaid and still charged and haven't refunded.

They have a garage that you can use. The gates do not work, there is no security or anyway of knowing who is coming in and out. Bit they will charge you $17 plus tax each day of your stay When we asked about the fact that anyone can use this garage throughout the day since its located dow town by serial restaurants and they don't have to pay and gow would you even keep track of who is coming in our our and who is with the hotel or not if you do t ha e security or get guests car information, which they don't. I was told that they do not have to answer that, and each guest will be charged this. When my husband then asked who do they know if we used the garage? We were told fine we won't charge you but told that we were extremely rude for asking questions about our bill and told that we must be ugly people. Room- from the outside it looked great, its in a great location and by several restaurants.

Great place, close to the event center

It was an awful experience. I called up there before booking the rooms in order to make sure I was doing it correctly. My arrival time was 7am when I know check in is at 4pm. Upon calling them they said I had to book for two nights or else I couldn’t be guaranteed early check in. So that’s what I did I booked two nights. Arrived at the hotel where the receptionist told me I had missed my reservation, therefore had to rebook the appointment and could only do it there. So I had to pay once again. The hotel was disgusting. There were hairs in the shower and sink. No toilet paper and to top it all off a used makeup wipe and the previous guest had left a dirty shirt that they had not cleaned up.

Needs a big-time cleaning and upgrade.

Staff was great. Hotel is about 10 mins walk from Hillard Center.

The hotel itself is older and unfortunately does not appear to have been well maintained or renovated. Some of the furniture was very old, damaged, or even broken. However, the bed was very comfortable, and the front desk staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. This is a beautiful hotel with a lot of potential. With some updating, repairs, and better maintenance, it could be an amazing place to stay. The views and location are definitely worth mentioning! Would of been nice if we were able to open the balcony door to feel the ocean breeze.

Mildew in showers, old carpets, gross smell, no phone in the rooms, balconies are bolted shut.

Hotel needs some maintenance, you can tell it has better times, small details like paper put together with staples, this is compensated with the great staff they are nice and helpful.

Food was excellent at the bar. Music was great.

No problems or anything with our stay. Everything was great.

I love staying here! It’s out little home away from home. The views are amazing.

House keeper walked in on me nude. I had notified front desk, and previous house keeper prior. They failed to communicate with each other and invaded my privacy.

Especially the bathroom Beside we had a great time

Everything went well. We had no problems. The location was nice. I hate that we had to pay to park at a hotel that we were patronizing. That makes no sense.

Parking 14 dollars a day. No trash can only in restroom breakfast is expensive bag of chips 3.75 no tissues had to go downstairs to get WiFi code because they would not answer phone lamps missing light bulbs I expected better from holiday inn.

The staff were really nice. The rooms and bathrooms need a lot of updates. The bath shower was old and broken parts. The bathtubs didn’t drain while taking a shower. If they would update the bathrooms it would be a better rating.

Lobby was clean, breakfast was cold.

The staff is very kind and polite. The pool was beautiful. I stayed the first night in 1521. I let them know the blackout curtains were torn from top to bottom and ripped in several places. There were metal rods sticking out from under the box springs about 3-4 inches and kept hitting my shins on it. I didnt mention the tiles in the roof were hanging and the fire sprinkler was rusted and partially away from the wall. They moved me to 1501. They had to swap the mini fridge because it didn't work and bring me a remote for the TV. The draweres in the dresser didn't close. I didn't notice until bedtime the latch lock on the door was broken off. So I stacked stuff against the door the next 2 nights so I could hear if anyone tried to come in.

The best part was the view from the room

Clean room

We arrived at 4:15 to check in and the line was so long it snaked up and around the bar instead of down the lobby hallway because there was no staff advising guests where to line up. The lobby, hallways, rooms, elevators, etc. are dirty. The property hasn’t been maintained with lifting/loose carpet throughout, cracking and peeling plaster and paint, etc. I reserved a bay view, high floor, King Suite with balcony but was put in a suite on the 6th floor over the pool to the side of the property not a front facing bay view. The balcony doors were screwed shut. The mini fridge was falling out of the cabinet, shower curtain rod was pulled from the wall and falling, toilet seat would not stay up so men using it had to hold the seat up while going to the bathroom. Mold on the ceiling tiles in the bathroom. Some white substance wiped on the walls. I can’t leave out the drunk man and woman screaming at each other in the crowded bar at 11PM, along with guests laying on coffee tables in the lobby while hotel staff watched helplessly. The garage elevator did not work. Quiet hours are 11PM to 8AM but for the low floor, pool facing rooms there were more drunk guests at the pool at 11:30PM that sounded like they were fighting but our balcony door was screwed shut so I could not confirm. I would NEVER suggest this DUMP to anyone.

No cold water, they ask you for a 100 dollars deposit for parking in their own garage, found out anyone could go in and out the garage because the gates are not working. There was a fight in the elevator there was blood in the floor. No balcony access

The view was great, the room was comfortable, breakfast was very good. I would definitely stay there again.

It’s a very nice hotel. We will come back. This experience was very different from our last. Out dated in the rooms. Simple fixes like torn curtains. Cracks. Only one piece amenities when you booked a suite. Chargers are not working in the desk anymore and my sister mentioned the same. We stayed in different rooms. Water stayed Hot in shower. Not sure what was going on there. I’m not a heat person. I like it on the cooler side. We used the pool this time. Lights stayed off. Guy kept closing restrooms. Early before it was closed. I believe someone complained and then they turned on lights and No towels had to ask for them. But he was there watching the area. I guess? We love it here though. Great people. First issues. We will be back. But housekeeping at 8/9 am is too early. Appreciated but early☺️

I like the location and view.

Staff and front desk very nice and very helpful.

Please be sure to check the bedding. There were lipstick stains on the pillow cases. Otherwise it was a good 1st experience thanks to the staff.

The air conditioning wasn’t working

The view and the surrounding area was nice for convenient dinner.

The hotel itself is not the best but the staff was accommodating and very helpful.

We always stay at this hotel but our bathroom was a little dirty and coffee didn't work.

Todo bien, excepto que los que tenía al lado de mi habitación, hacían mucho ruido y se fueron a dormir. Súper tarde, prácticamente no nos dejaron dormir. Me hospedé en el tercer piso habitación tres 14

Perfect spot for a short getaway

QUICK VISIT BUT IT WAS A NICE HOTEL. NO PROBLEMS

The power outage was an inconvenience

Hotel room needed renovation. Low water pressure, tub had old water stains, bed was comfortable and had good pillows.

itself could use an upgrade and remodeling. The staff was SUPER nice and understanding. Because of them they deserve got 3 stars.

Checkin was very slow and took a really long time.

Great room! Wish the restrooms were updated. And more plug ins around beds.

Dirty run down with homeless people camping in the garage . Atmosphere was bleak …. No music in bar pool looked like a scene from the walking dead … we left …. Didn’t even stay

The staff were great! Will stay again! Great location

I was OK.

Nice location and close to marina.

it was good nothin crazy

Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. The room was not properly hygienic, and the bathroom/toilet was extremely old and poorly maintained. Given the condition of the room, we decided to check out after the first night and requested a refund for the unused night. However, we were told that a refund was not possible, leaving us with no choice but to check out without receiving any refund. For an anniversary stay, we expected a much better experience, especially considering the price we paid. The view may have been good, but the cleanliness and overall condition of the room were far below our expectations. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and improves the cleanliness, maintenance, and guest service.

When my wife went to the front desk to report our observations, she was met with indifference by the staff. She was told that the manager was unavailable so nothing could be done. Overall, terrible service, left me very unsatisfied.

The first night's room was dingy, bathroom sink faucet was missing some pieces, the sheets were itchy and the outside noise was horrible! Did NOT get any sleep. Asked fir a different room the next night, but the front desk staff has us waiting there for more than 20 minutes while they unsuccessfully communicated to the housekeeping staff they locked us out of room. Also, this Holiday Inn charged for breakfast where other ones do not. And they hardly had any parking even though we paid for it. I will NOT go back. It was not clean, it was overpriced and other guests complained about that exact same things.

Friendly staff, great views of the bay. Great location.

Room key didn’t work, after driving 4 hours had to go back down 12 floors with two dogs and a 5 year old boy to address it-bad battery in lock. Room dirty, all kinds of trash behind bed head frame. No toilet paper, noticed after I used the toilet. And one of the toilet paper holders was broken. Missing items from room like a trash can and ice bucket, breakfast was a joke, no: pastries, waffles, no yogurt or decent fruit. Staff was stingy with drinks, no pool towels, elevators a nightmare, stay on a lower floor the view isn’t worth the hassle. Clerk forgot we paid for breakfast, had to remind her. We stayed in a double queen room, enough for 4 guests, but only provided towels for 3. Cold water bathroom sink faucet loose and spins around. Half of the issues we had was a “housekeeping” issue. Competent staff should have caught half these issues. The pool lining is buckled in several areas in the outside pool. This is my 1st and last stay at a Holiday Inn. And I paid for three rooms for my family reunion and all rooms had issues. Need more luggage carts too. Waited 30 minutes for a cart, finally gave up and got our beach wagon out of our car so we could pack and go so we could make check-out time.

The elevators took forever. That was really the only bad thing. Everything else was great

Professional staff.

The ceiling was peeling, the floors were at a slant, the AC leaked on the carpet, and the sliding door to balcony was screwed shut. The pictures of the pool were deceiving and wasn’t filled completely. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

TLDR: Clean room, friendly staff, plan on assistance taking a while, dont pay for anything extra. I got a high floor room of the building nextdoor. Desk crew was kind, but understaffed. Waited 30mins to check out because only one person was helping guests. Bartender was very kind and friendly. Breakfast staff was kind, but I never got the chance to eat because I needed a voucher, but the front desk was always too busy to help.

Check in was extremely slow. With 4 employees behind the desk only one would check in those waiting. Once I was able to check in it was extremely slow process even though room was pre paid. Hallways were very dirty and looked as they hadn’t been vacuumed in weeks. Dirt, sand, smashed chips and pretzels all over hallway. 24 hour later and it was still there. Areas under chair and next to nightstand had trash and dirt. As if cleaning crew did not move furniture to ensure cleanliness. Wouldn’t stay here again.

Ac in room barely worked, bathroom is outdated and rough, shower curtain half ripped out of the walls, just overall kinda grungy.

Me gustó por la ubicación, es un hotel que vale lo que es

Absolutely beautiful area and a wonderful hotel i would definitely go back again

pool was poorly cleaned no towels someone threw up in the pool no clean up for hours.

Rooms not updated Missing ice bucket and hair dryer TV on the blink

Everything was great overall from the time we checked in. Only one thing wish breakfast was no charge.

Honestly everything was DIRTY. Tub stops up toilet over flowed. They were very helpful as far as fixing the tub/toilet however it continued. Lots of dust on furniture.

Hotel room in very bad conditions. Staff did nothing to fix the problems. I had to call Marriot vonboy and tell them and make a claim here with Expedia. Hopefully my money is refunded.

Room was very clean, bed was very comfy and hotel is in a great location as well as a super nice bar located inside. The night time staff was very friendly as well. Only downside is it’s $17 per day to park.

The pool was 2 ft low and not filtering. The water was so dirty. When I mentioned it to front desk they acted clueless. Charged $27 to park in an empty parking garage. The breakfast was really bad. The saving grace was the view from the room was gorgeous.

Clean room, excellent view of the marina

Breakfast

The bar at the hotel was my favorite! Shout out to Lawrence for making the experience great! However, the elevator wait time was insane! The staff was great on helping us get my parents on a staff elevator after a 20 minute wait! But, it was an awful wait time for the elevators!

When I got to my room, I was immediately disappointed. The furniture was loose, worn out, and looked like it had seen much better days. The balcony door was screwed shut, had a large gap in the bottom corner, and was covered in duct tape residue, making it look very unprofessional and unappealing. The bathroom is in desperate need of updating. There was hair and crumbs on the bed, mold on the ceiling, and the wall vent was extremely dirty. Overall, the room did not feel clean or well maintained. I expect much more from a Holiday Inn. While the staff members were friendly and courteous, the condition of the hotel simply doesn't justify the price. I could have stayed at a better hotel—or even a motel—for the same amount of money. If I had been staying longer than one night, I would have canceled my reservation after seeing the room and gone somewhere else.

Wonderful location, cleanliness, most staff was helpful minus initial check-in, but it a little before midnight & who knows how their day had gone. The location & bay view are great. Parking is $17/day and if breakfast $10/person daily. The only improvement suggested is maintenance; wallpaper pealing, border missing,… very small things. Hubby is maintenance, someone like myself wouldn’t notice much.

Overall property is worn down. Balconies are not accessible for “guest safety”. Main elevators were slow and always congested. Hope you like waiting in line to get up to your room. Parking garage was overloaded with oversized vehicles the first night of our stay, people not parking within lines and taking up more than one space aggravated the situation. Elevator to parking garage smelt like vomit the entire stay. This morning there was someone sleeping in the lobby by the piano.

Necesita remodelación

Stayed in a room on 15th floor and the ceiling started leaking onto our bed. Had to sleep the opposite way and lose sleep trying to not roll into the col, wet spot.
