This is an older property. Don't expect it to be all new and up to date and you won't be disappointed. The location to the beach and local attractions is fantastic. The view from the rooms is awesome. The price was great for what you get. The room and bedding were clean, (except for the air conditioner vent in the ceiling). We wiped down the counters and such and found it to be clean. The staff was courteous. If you just want a convenient place to hang out and sleep, this is a decent property. We will go back.
The covered parking was a plus. There is no elevator because it's ON THE BEACH so you have to use the stairs. I didn't mind, but you may want to request a room on the first level of rooms if that's a problem for you.

Initially, the toilet had poop on the toilet, went and spoke to the office and they had the housekeeper clean it right away. Housekeeper wiped the toilet lid down only. We ended up going to the store and buying cleaning supplies and wipes the walls, doors, shower and toilet ourselves. Other than that initial experience, the location was great, the pool was good, and we had no other issues.

Overall the place was decent, right by the beach and views of the USS Lexington Museum. Our stay was stay able, although my wife and I are used to higher rated hotels, you can’t beat the price for staying on the beach here in Corpus.
If you have kids it’s very uncomfortable to sleep at this place.. extremely dirty .. employees are all cracked out. My hotel room shared a door with the room next to us. Really weird. Your better off staying on the beach.
