This motel has a beautiful view of bay. Staff was accommodating on late pm arrival. Exposed nails outside on stairwell. Bathtub faucet did not work. No toiletries except for toilet paper provided. Standing fan had no cover on front. AC did work thankfully. Extra blankets were not available when asked. Understand this is a motel however structural integrity and safety measures need to be evaluated on premises.

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.

Bathroom was not very clean. The sink was clogged. There was very poor water pressure the first day with no water the second. Parts of the building were crumbling, so I couldn't park in a few areas. My room was never cleaned the entire week I was there. No other places available to move to in town.

This hotel is in terrible condition and in desperate need of upkeep and repair. The room had live ants all over the floor. The room appeared to not have been vacuumed. The box spring mattress was stained and gross looking. We asked to check out for a refund due to the condition of the hotel. The manager was rude and refused to assist us or approve the check out and refund. We had to come back the next day to talk to the owner for a refund. The owner approved a refund of 4 out of 6 days. We did not even stay 1 night but had to forfeit 2 nights.

Very dirty and black mold everywhere in the room. Even the small plastic garbage can was covered in black mold. The area around the AC was moldy too. Mattress had heavy stains and smelled. We left the moldy motel 5 minutes after checking in.

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.

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!
