The hotel's location is its most praised feature, being close to the beach and various attractions. However, cleanliness is a major issue, with numerous complaints about dirty rooms, stained towels, and unclean bathrooms. The condition of the rooms is also a common concern, with reports of old furniture, broken fixtures, and unpleasant smells.

    Walking distance to the beach. None of the photos are what the hotel looks like. Very run down. Had literal Crackheads sitting outside the motel. People next to us where outside the room smoking weed even with me having little kids coming in and to go to the car to get our belongings. Room was very dirty, there was a spot where there wasn't roaches crawling around on everything. Shower had only one setting which was burning lava, and very weak pressure. I can keep going on and on about this place. For the price I payed it was definitely not worth it. Didnt know it was a crackhead motel.

    Right by the ocean. While the DoubleTree by Hilton blocks a good chunk of the view, and the back side of the rooms face a wide empty sand patch, the front side is a stunning nice view of the Lexington and North Beach. The rooms seemed clean, the TVs had channels and the workers were kind and respectful. The hotel as well is only a few minutes away from the beach, a gas station, Whataburger, tourist gift shops, and attractions like Texas State Aquarium, USS Lexington, Pier 99, and of course the wonderful Harbor Bridge. The beds weren't too comfy, they were kinda stiff, but it was a soft enough mattress that me and my partner slept like a baby. The blankets are thin and cheap, definitely recommend bringing your own blanket. The sink water pressure was weak most of the times, even being a soft dribble of water sometimes, but the shower water was strong, fine, and warmed up quick. Aside from the sink and the bed, everything worked like a charm.

    The motel is pretty run-down and could use a "face lift" although it was clean. There were a few enmities missing from either our room or for the whole motel such as kleenex and an ice bucket. Not anything we couldn't deal with.

    The room was affordable, clean, comfortable. The outside of the building could use to TLC but the rooms the state fine. The only thing that was wrong with our room was the water pressure from the sink was a bit light but the shower was fine and the water was hot. Very clean . The location was top tier. The staff was very friendly and accommodating when we asked for extra pillows and towels. I would stay here again. Water pressure at the sink could be better, outside could be cleaner.

    An older beach hotel that has been kept up with fresh paint and repairs. Fairly clean and hygienic, everything worked, but there was no coffee maker. The guy behind the front desk who only spoke Hindi was, shall we say, inefficient.

    We got there after a 22 hour drive. We asked to check in early they charged us for early check in that was whatever because we were tired. We went to take nap and a hour later they were banging on our door to replace curtain rods. We went to take a shower there was no water pressure at all. So it was horrible showers all week. We kept hearing banging on the walls all night. And every time you stepped out your door you got a contact high. The room was clean for that hotel and they did come in while we were gone and give us more towels and empty our trash. Overall we would not stay there again because it just wasn’t worth it.and bathroom was musty and moldy.

    My experience at residence Inn was not very good. First of all. They made me wait for a very long time for a room and stated that their cleaning person had quit and there was someone new and they were taking forever, then they put me in a room next to some body who was very noisy hanging outside talking very loudly so I asked to move. I had to wait over an hour for another room then I get to the room my towels were stained and dirty, so I had to give them back and ask them for some clean white towels. The property is not very well kept it is OK. I did book the room on Expedia and there was a deal and I guess you get what you pay for. My blanket on my bed was very musty smelling, and the room smelled the same. It is like they do not wash the blankets. The only perk of staying here was being right in proximity of the ocean being able to see the ocean and walk there just in a couple of minutes other than that this is a low budget inn and on top of that, floorboard sunken in room. No guest soap to wash off. Glad I had my own they offered nothing.

    The staff was polite but the stair rail was sticky. The room was gross the pillows and pillow covers was extremely dirty. The towels and wash cloth was dirty. The bathroom floor looks like it has grease on it. There was a shirt that was left before on the microwave. In my mom's room she showed me in her shower there was dirty wash cloth on the shower bar and a used soap in the corner in the bathtub.

    That is run by a family. And they are very hospitable and despite my demanding nature they have been very good to us. We are going through a horrible time in our life where our families are against us being together but also his ex wife and my ex husband stole and transfered my property invan afluent neighborhood here In town. But also I have found that people or for whatever reason are treating us badly and I don't even know why. I am not rich. I made my own money by buying stock and for that they wanted to take everything from me. But to the extreme. Seems to me that Ill never get relief as long as there are multiple people against me. I have a string faith. But I refery to inform that my faith is losing.

    Great experience ! Just a 5 min walk away from the beach . It’s not super fancy, but it is very affordable and it gets the job done ! If you’re looking for a cheap hotel that is close to North Beach and isn’t completely dirty and trash. This is a good option because it’s lower in price and they have decent rooms. The bedding is clean. The restroom was clean and the room also was clean. The area is kind of sketchy at night, but as long as you lock your doors and stay in your room, staff is very nice and attentive

    For an older motel, it is directly a 1 minute walk to the beach, 5 feet from an excellent Restaurant/Coctail lounge, 1 minute walk to several other nice restaurants/coctail lounges and the US 181 Freeway is in it's front yard. Such a good value and the friendliest management. I always stay there when I travel to North Beach, Corpus Christi, Texas.
