The property was great, quiet, no problem always next to the pool what ever room you're in. The beach view was perfect and walking distance, just a few steps and you're in the water. The staff was very nice and always helpful the house keeping was always there day and night, no problem, and it was a perfect place because no house keeping was talkative like here,very friendly and helpful...this is not the first time Ive been there, this is where I stay when I visit Corpus Christi..

The hotel was very, very bad. Very unclean. There are outside tile steps up to office. Many were loose and falling apart. You should not even have this hotel on your list. I have never seen anything like this.

It was quiet and we love it is so close to the beach. It was clean, but beds are a little hard. You have to bring your own pots to cook. In general, we had a good experience with our kids.

The room was clean But the coffee pot had grounds and mold , still had coffee in the pot. The mini fridge has milk in it and was filthy. Downstairs looked like it was falling apart, had areas taped off. The swimming pool has no railings for getting in or out. The ladder the had did not have any steps to get out I will not be returning

The location is great. But the room and the overall building are very old and outdated. Room is a good size, but not clean. Stain marks on the bed skirt. Part of the building seemed to be falling apart. I am amazed that it is still operating. Won't stay again.
