Great Place to Stay

This hotel is the best in town for the location. Clean rooms with very comfortable beds. Staff is extremely courteous and service is fantastic. Devin at the front desk was great during check-in and check-out. I will stay here everytime I visit. The only thing to improve is the breakfast buffet. It would help to have two lines, one for initial service and one for re-fills.

Fab view, decent free food, no lotion!

Stayed a week with my teenage son in a double queen room on tenth floor looking south. Floor to ceiling glass balcony door gave this hotel my high rating. Stunning view over the marina and along the southern sweep of the "sparkling city by the sea" really was worth the paucity of bathroom amenities (only item available was a Pantene shampoo and tiny bars of hand soap) and the lobby under construction and the ancient aforementioned balcony door. Parking is free, the hotel sits a boulevard away from the sea wall and T-head (the city marina with its sailboats, shrimpers, restaurants and monthly market day) and across the street from some of my favorite downtown spots, the Executive Surf Club.

Go to Corpus on the first weekend of the month to catch First Friday Art Walk. Terrific night of walking around Chaparal street listening to street band sand wandering in art galleries. Not for the faint of heart but rewarding if you love live music and forward art. NOT for children.

Not up to par

No lounge or restaurant. AC in room was very weak, could not adjust temp. Carpet was clammy. Fridge wreaked of dead fish. Room cleaning was poor and late. Hotel is physically very run down. Breakfast was good and location is good, but there are many better hotels in the area.

Spring Break

Even though we had to change rooms because we had a pet, the room was great. The staff were friendy and great with my dog. The only complaint was that on or first night someone could not get into thir room and made a buncho noise, and on our second night in the nioddle of the night a toddler was running up and down te wall screaming causing all te dogs to bark on the floor. The breakfast is the best I have ever had. The Texas waffles I could eat all day!!!!!I would go again just for the breakfast!

Great Place to Stay

The sights and sounds of the ocean are great at this hotel! The room was nice and clean and the balcony was enjoyable. The only drawbacks were the cooling system and the WiFi. I thought the room was a tad stuffy and a little too warm and the WiFi was painfully slow. Otherwise, I enjoyed myself and would book at this hotel again. Thank you.

Nice Hotel, Ok Location

The Hotel itself was very clean and nice for an affordable price; however the beaches at Port Aransas are much nicer than the beaches in Corpus Christi.

Time to relax.

This was a very good experience. The room was located with a good view of the ocean. It was in close proxemity to the Lexington battleship, The Texas State Aquarium and all types of tour boats, fshing and great places to eat. A big mall and all sorts of shopping available just down the road. The staff were very helpful and were good at giving directions.
