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.

The view was the only good thing about this stay. We have stayed in this hotel in previous years and have been very happy with the location and cleanliness of the space. This time around not so much. the bathtub filled with water and did not drain the entire stay, so no showers after the first one (we have 5 in our party) when we addressed this to the front desk, he just told me a plumber would be there the next day, never saw one. the sink in the kitchenette dripped constantly and the door wouldn't lock correctly.

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.
