Amazing view of the ocean. Staff was very friendly. Perfect spot.
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.
