We enjoyed our stay, but the exterior of the property does not seem to be well maintained--for example exposed concrete and rebar in the roof of the parking lot.

Old but comfortable

The building is old and rough in places, but the room and the beds were comfortable. The outer stairs are kind of terrifying to carry a suitcase up, so definitely use the ones by the office for that! The employees we interacted with were great and very helpful. A good value for the cost and the view can’t be beat!

Disgusting dump

This motel is an absolute dump in a remote rundown area that was under construction for the new bridge. It was seriously disgusting and depressing and was nothing like what I thought it would be. My husband and two adult children were appalled especially my daughter. Luckily we had a friend in Corpus Christi that we were able to stay with the second night. So we swallowed the cost. The $180/night was an absolute joke regardless of whether it was Memorial Day or not.

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.
