Many guests reported musty/mildew smells, damp air, unclean rooms on arrival, crumbs, a drop of blood reported on bathroom floor, and moist carpet near AC — overall clearly below standard.
Service
9
Multiple mentions of friendly, helpful staff and excellent customer service; staff were responsive when issues were raised, which is a strong positive.

Mixed reports: beds described as comfortable but rooms noted as outdated in places (chipped paint, hole in ceiling), occasional maintenance issues (sagging door, slow shower drain, low shower pressure).
Amenities
6.5
Breakfast service was generally available but had operational problems (pancake machine broken, items running out), pool/hot tub issues and musty pool area reported — amenities functional but inconsistent.
Value for Money
7.2
Standard quality for this hotel tier.
Food and Beverage
7.5
Hot breakfast was often praised as good/complete, but there were complaints about items running out, lack of gluten-free options, and isolated concerns about food trustworthiness due to musty smells.
Overall Experience
7.9
Overall mixed: very strong positives for location and staff but significant cleanliness and maintenance problems diminished stays for some guests; overall leans slightly above average due to service and location strengths.

Great location, great staff, great vacation!
Pros:

The breakfast was great, except the pancake machine was not working during our stay. The hotel itself is in a perfect area of Corpus Christi, great location!

Cons:

Our bathroom could have been a bit cleaner and i was the pancake machine worked or that they had a waffle maker.

Unsightly Experience
Pros:

Location was fine.

Cons:

We arrived at midnight and saw the room was not clean.
The air smelt damp, crumbs of food on the floor and on the bed, the toilet handkerchief was broken.
Worst of all, there was a drop of blood on the bathroom floor.
I was so disgusted that I decided against having breakfast in that facility!!!
