A 9 would of been a 10 but bartender rude

Avoid bartender she has no customer service skills
The hotel staff was amazing. We’ve been here since Saturday And very convenient! Only problem is the Bartender isn’t friendly at all she has very poor communication with guess. I purchased 3 rooms and I’ve paid well over $3000 in parking room stays ect… for us too be talked to poorly… just unexceptionable on all levels.

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.

2/10 Poor

Condition of the property is bad. Our door needed to be slammed in order to close properly. Room was never cleaned and we didn’t get fresh towels or sheets till almost 10pm.

4/10 Fair

Clean room but that was about it
The good: The room was clean and comfortable. The bad: The back door by the pool was open when I arrived; no towels so I had to call for them; NO WIFI (are you kidding me?); at 4:19AM the alarm went off for about 10 minutes which gave people enough time to fully wake up, get dressed and go outside just as the alarm went off.

4/10 Fair

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😔
Reinaldo, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.

Walkable to beach. Nice heated pool. Breakfast is included. Extra for parking. Rooms need some renovation
Grace, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.

No Hot Water?
There was no hot water in any of the rooms We started in 203 and the water bearing got tolerable to stant in. Moved to 213 which was supposedly closer to the heater next door at the Holiday Inn. No better.

Very nice area but hotel is very old and needs to be renovated. Room was decently clean as best as possible but stains on walls and very run down decor kind of sad since it’s in a beautiful location and has so much potential but highly mismanaged and in disarray
