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..

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 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 But the room and the overall building are very old and outdated.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.

First was an unexpected $50 deposit which was disappointing, but we did recover the deposit about an hour after checkout. Second, the Pictures on Expedia showed our room with a sleeper futon. There wasn’t one. Booked this room because of the extra space, but we made it work. Staff was helpful otherwise. Room was not top notch, but location was great.
