    Very unpleasant experience

    AC doesn't work. Room smells horribly. Lights over sink turn on & off on their own. Unidentifiable pile of yellow powder on sink. Shaving hair on shower wall. Dried, crusty food on bed sheets. Food crumbs and wrappers on floor around beds. What looks like bed bug feces on mattresses. We left within 30 minutes. Management was rude during check-in and COMPLETELY unreasonable regarding our concerns and our request for a full refund. I can't believe that 3rd party agencies are suggesting this place to anyone. The stuff this hotel is doing to it's customers has to be illegal. We are contacting our credit card company to refute any charges.

    if you love your life find somewhere else to stay

    I would never stay here. I booked a room here and I was immediately shocked at what I saw. I saw blood stained sheets. soap with pubic hair on it. used towels with stains that were on the shelf for the next person to use. I immediately spoke with Sunny who advised he would not refund me my money back. He advised there was nothing he would be able to do. After covid they just don't care anymore I see. I wish I could upload the videos to see in detail what I saw. Deplorable conditions. Take the name HOTEL off because that is straight deceit.

    RUN. And STAY FAR AWAY FROM HERE

    STAY AWAY! WILL BE REPORTING TO THE TEXAS HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND ALL OTHER AGENCIES POSSIBLE. They just don't care here. You are better off sleeping under a bridge! Save your money. You pay for what you get. Dirty rooms. Mold. Mildew. Dirty sheets. Bugs. Drug addicts and more. RUN far away from here!

    Worst hotel in Corpus

    Worst place I have ever stayed at. Sleep at the beach instead of staying here. First room sent too was not even done yet all dirty. Second room which was suppose to be there best because of the inconvenience was clean but had a smell of mildew and after walking it had water coming for the floor. Then the restroom sink underneath had black stains of what looked like mold. They refused to cancel my reservation and said there was nothing they could do. Didn't stay there and they refused to refund the money so stay clear of this place.
