Reviews
The hotel receives mixed reviews with guests appreciating the proximity to the beach and the helpfulness of the staff. However, there are consistent complaints about the state of the rooms, with reports of mold, musty smells, and loose tiles in the bathroom. Some guests also express dissatisfaction with the parking situation and the treatment of guests who book through third-party websites.

Hotel is conveniently located close to the beach but hotel room is lack of maintenance. There was a moldy smell in the hotel room as soon as we entered the room. Would not recommend it to anyone nor would not come back for another stay. Bad experiences.

Also getting a n9tice that we had to pay a parking fee. We paid it and when we returned to the hotel the staff said there was nothing they could do about it. No one informed us on check in to ignore these parking stubs. Jesse took the stub wrote outr phone number on it and sadi someone woould call. The net morning checking out the staff said knew nothing about the stub and said there was nothinng they could do about and to talk to the parking company. The staff gave us a phone number which returned a number out of service message. The worst customer service I have ever had with a hotel. I will never stay there again and will tell all family and friends to avoid the place.

The staff worked very hard to keep the hotel clean, but it was very shabby and smelled musty/moldy throughout. Our bathroom was very clean but had broken shower and floor tiles mold showing through the ceiling. The breakfast was good and staff were constantly cleaning up after customers.

The bed was comfy and AC worked Doors could be heard slamming all night and morning. Its actually what woke me up before my set alarm. The tub was stained and had chipped marks, the shower head did not hold its place when adjusted, making it awkward to use. By 830am only 2 sausage links were left for breakfast. Seems to be a bar or something like that next door with outside seating, as we arrived there was a female yelling very loud.

Room door had unsettling damage to it- it looked like a crow bar had been wedged between the door and the frame to get to the door lock. The door frame was bent and the door was worn away at the lock. When I expressed concern and showed pictures to the manager she was rude and assured me the door locked and she would not allow me to change rooms. The room itself had a lot of wear. Gross stains on the walls, couch and carpet. Bathtub rusting and very poorly painted. I will choose another place next time.

This location is now our favorite. They are so attentive and friendly at the front desk. Our room was very nice and clean. The beds were very comfy and spacious that made it perfect for our movie night with the kids after a long day of fishing. The complimentary breakfast was good and served good options for picky kids. Can’t wait to book our next stay here!

I was disappointed because the check in time was 4:00 pm and I kindly requested if early check in was possible but the receptionist said it wasn’t. Other hotels and competitors do allow early check in before 3:00 pm. I thought they would be more flexible and provide better customer service.

Only two issues- water pressure for showers was weak and make sure when you request towel/trash service to take your placard off the door

Stay was good over all. Had a billing error but hopefully will credit to my credit card tomorrow. One guy at the desk tried really hard to help us with mis charges. Super friendly, kind and very energetic. Didn’t catch his name but he had a blue shirt on and a very unique necklace on. That guy is A+!!

Staff was friendly and welcoming. Room was ok. Bed uncomfortable, mattress felt old and worn out. Hotel smelled musky like moisture, probably because of the ocean. Room didn’t look clean. Window shade old and worn out. Floors looked dirty. Tv didn’t work but it was replaced with a new one. Breakfast ok if you think powdered eggs are edible. Location is great, walking distance to white cap beach.

I reserved and was confirmed 3 rooms through hotels.com. When I got there they only showed hotels.com had reserved 1 room and at more than I was confirmed. They offered me a 2nd room at much much more than the confirmed rate. They didn't have a 3rd room available so we had to scramble to find a place for our 3rd family to sleep. Of the 2 families who did stay there, they reported it was dirty and run down, they got stuck in the elevator, the staff was rude, and when they went to get towels, because no one gave them towels after waiting an hour for someone to bring them some, there was a line of people at the front desk complaining about different things. 2 years ago I had a similar experience here and swore I would never return. Shame on me for trying them again. I won't make that mistake again.

We also had an issue with the pull-out sofa. We could not get it to pull out completely, so we were unable to use it. When we tried to put it back in to get it out of the way, it would not close properly either. The shower was another concern, when showering the water ran very, very slowly. Overall, the stay was comfortable and the staff was great, but these issues were a little disappointing and could definitely use some attention.

Smell of mold everywhere in the building. Ocean view room, but can’t even enjoy it because parking lot lights stayed on day and night. I asked the staff to turn them off during the day and she looked at me like I was crazy and said that you needed to stay on for security. The brightest LEDs burning your eyes out.

Jesse has absolutely wonderful customer service!! He checked in, gave clear instructions and provided great suggestions. The breakfast serving staff was great, too!! Otherwise, there was a morning employee who sat at the computer (blonde with glasses) and others who didn’t even act like we were there — my husband and I had to initiate conversation and WE were the guests. I’d suggest you have Jesse teach your other employees how to provide a great customer experience and change that culture around.

Staff is very friendly, my room was clean and offer shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, body lotion all from dove the smell good. It has a mini fridge, microwave, and coffe matching with pods for coffe decafs and tea. Even though parking is an extra fee it was good after all. I would recommend. Location is great

Overall, it was nice. A few bumps in the road where the hotels team was very kind. I am not sure I would run back. BUT it was a parking lot away from the beautiful beaches. and a few food options nearby. and a yummy breakfast. It met our needs for a quick trip to Corpus Christi!

I contacted Expedia through the virtual assistant for a refund and was told I’d be receiving full refund due to how dirty and moldy the hotel was. We checked in, went to room, it smelled horrible with mold on pictures and window and broken & loose floor tiles etc. we left right away. The front desk girl said that Expedia only had to send email to them and they’d approve the full refund. I didn’t stay there, it was gross.

This hotel has the worst customer service I have encountered. I would carefully consider that before staying. Things like customer service, kindness and fairness are important to me; so I personally would never book here again.

Don't waste your time. For the money should of went Airbnb route. Unhelpful needed a plastic spoon too much trouble. TV didn't work properly came by couldn't fix said they would be back never happened. Breakfast was underwhelming at best. Coffee machine in room not working but you only had 2 cups for two days. Carpet in room felt wet kinda disgusting. Came in room while at beach took towels but didn't replace...common sense..none. Pillows on bed weird smell. Noisy at night people next door sounded like they were in our room at all hours of the night. But don't use the pool past 10 even though bar across street had a block party all night and next door tiki bar as well. The "dudes" selling bbq in the grass out front really classed the place up, I hope they were paying for parking. Still wondering why I had to. The whole experience is what I expect from a 68 dollar motel 6 in any ghetto in America. Will never stay there again.

The biggest issue was the shower. Water flooded the bathroom every time we showered, and I had to clean it up each time. I certainly didn’t expect to be mopping floors while on vacation. Overall, it was a disappointing stay.

Danny was extremely helpful and friendly at the front desk. The hotel itself is in need of repairs and the laundry facilities on the property were out of service. Not good!! The room itself was comfy, but not the cleanest. The pool was cleaned daily and kept well. The location was great because you can walk across the street to the beach!

I liked the queen bed mattress which gave a very comfortable sleep. I liked the free breakfast- hot, warm food and about 5 varieties of juices, clean and neat breakfast counter area, table and chairs, and helpful and friendly kitchen staff- offered help to microwave my food as i requested.
- 2/5
The service itself was decent, and the hotel was fine. However, I witnessed what appeared to be a female supervisor being very disrespectfully to employees in front of guests. Regardless of the circumstances, staff should be treated with professionalism and respect, especially in public areas where guests can see and hear the interaction. It created an uncomfortable atmosphere. Another issue was parking. I was never informed at check-in that parking required an additional fee. I only found out because I overheard another guest asking about it. That information should be communicated clearly to every guest upon arrival to avoid unexpected charges. Overall, the stay was acceptable, but I hope management works on improving communication with guests and fostering a more respectful workplace culture.

The staff was super helpful. hotel is aged a bit for the price. We booked a suite, our room was hot, they did help and put a fan in which kept it ok. They weren't prepared for our room, only gave us 3 towels and there were 5 of us. Didn't have the blanket or extra pillows for the sofa bed. But they were quick to bring them. Breakfast was ok.

The bad - photos that i saw were not up to date. - the outside of hotel did not look great at all. - pool was a disappointment. - rooms had visible mold in certain places, and some previous mold was clearly painted over with what looked like killz primer. - restroom shower was not very clean. there were water stains everywhere, and mold in some places. - shower drain popped up and nearly cut my foot. - overall was not like the pictures shown on expedia. I would highly recommend looking elsewhere especially for the price we paid.

The staff was good. There were a few things in the room that could be better. The handle on the toilet flusher would stick so there was a lot of water waste I would assume . A drawer in the room would not stay shut so that is dangerous for someone if they had to get up in the middle of the night. The room smelled musty…I assume because of all the humid weather.

First know this property is across from the beach, depending on your room you might see the ocean. There is only one elevator for staff and visitors very inconvenient. The exercise room very small with too much stuff in it. Parking is $20 per day. I felt the rooms was tidy but definitely not clean.

They don’t want you to bring any alcohol into the pool area, which is weird for a hotel. The overall hotel and property is clean and maintained because there seems to be plenty of staff there and available. There’s parts of the hotel that seem a little bit aged in need repairs. For example, our bathroom floor seemed like it had water damage and was a little squishy which seemed like an issue they need to be jumping on.
