Needs to be updated

The staff was very accommodating and we loved the view, beach access, and outdoor bar. The hotel itself is in desperate need of updates and renovations. Carpet smelled, the elevators looked a little scary to be in. Even though we had a tub we couldn’t use it because the drain didn’t plug which was super disappointing. Having an indoor pool is a nice feature but the water was cloudy so we decided against it. It met our needs but don’t think we would stay there again

Second time stay not so great…

My first time experience was wonderful and my second time experience was different I had no idea or was told before hand that I was to pay for parking now. Another thing was the hot water in the shower never came on and I waited for literally 10 mins for the hot water to come out. Breakfast was ok when it was the bare minimum. Would’ve like some waffles or pancakes.

When booking online , i thought it was more up to date on remodels . But it was just very basic , no breakfast - just bagels and coffee. Very quite rooms but smaller than other hotels . We thought it was gonna give us an ocean view but it didnt give us the option. It was right in the middle of town , very convenient for our one day stay to sight see.

Never again

The room was filthy and the door made to open into the pool area didn’t want to open. The room wasn’t restocked. There were spiders. Outlets didn’t work. Mold on the baseboards. Horrible water pressure. Hot tub was filthy. It wasn’t worth the money we spent and we won’t stay there again. The glass door to get to the part of rooms we had was shattered with a piece of plastic taped over it, that was falling off.

I checked in after paying unexpected parking fees, went to room found bed to be very springy, old moldy odor, tv would not switch to hdmi, and was not comfortable so I checked with front desk, they did not have a better option or solution so I immediately checked out and found a more comfortable hotel. No refund was issued so it was a wasted $500

A day in Corpus.

Although the front desk personnel was friendly. I will never stay here again. Hotel is old and rundown. It needs a good upgrade. Breakfast was literally a few slices of bread. No coffee in the pot. No juice or water. Entrance of hotel is not welcoming. Very dusty and handprints all over the windows and doors. Pool was so dirty and water was not clear at all. Bery Dissapointed😔

Catfishing

The pictures of their rooms they post online are not even close to the real rooms. My wife and I took a vacation to Corpus and saw this hotel by the beach. The rooms looked nice, modern, and clean. To our surprise the rooms looked like an old "1970's motel". The room also smelled like smoke. It wasn't clean, and no toilet paper and soap. We checked out the next morning and stayed somewhere else. I'll never stay there again.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!

Needs a huge remodeling. Pictures are probably from when they first opened and looks nothing like them now. We checked in. Parking was horrible. They used to have where you scan your room key to park. This was not the case any longer. Non stayers would park to go to the beach so left no room for hotel guests. Doors to rooms were not locked so anybody could have access. Doors used to use room key for access. Hallways smelled of marijuana. 1” gap under room door to hallway. Didn’t feel safe at all. Checked out and went to The Omni.
