I’ve stayed at this property throughout the years. My recent stay was the worst I’ve experienced. Neglected is about the best way to describe it. They’ve obviously made some attempt to improve a few things here and there but it needs a lot more. The bad over powers the good by far! And it’s sad because it is the only hotel on the water in the area. Fix it up!

The property is old and needs a lot of upkeep; it's noisy, and the shower did not work. I would not recommend this place. The only good thing is that it is located right on the beach.

It was raining so we couldn’t fully enjoy being on the beach. The restaurant was not open on Sunday. Ordered nachos from it on Saturday night but it was just ground beef on tortilla chips; no peppers & very subtle cheese. Fire alarm went off in the middle night & some occupants prepared to evacuate; no announcement as to what to do or if real. Seems like hotel which is quite old (stayed at it in the 90s) needs updating and more staff. Great indoor swimming pool but being on the beach is its saving grace.

This hotel needs to have to be remodeled, from the elevator to the rooms. You can hear everything that’s happening outside since the rooms doors aren’t sound proof. The first night, some individuals got into an argument , then got into a fight and we could hear everything. The customer service was excellent and that’s why I give it a 3 star. I’m hoping that the Holiday Inn Express next to Emerald opens soon.

This use to be my go-to hotel for Corpus, but it really has gone down. Mind you this is an older hotel, but it could really use a makeover. The tv was old school and didn't work, the drain in the bathtub didn't drain well, the ceiling in the room NEEDS to be cleaned. Other than that, the location is great because you can go straight to the beach from the hotel and IF the weather is bad, they have a big indoor pool, hot tub, and there's a little store inside the hotel as well. The staff was friendly and helpful. Next time, I'll have to pick a more updated hotel.

Liked: The location of hotel is awesome, right by the beach. They have an awesome bartender and he made the stay much more pleasant. Property is old and needs upgrades. AC was amazing in the room. Lots to see on this street, can wake up and walk the beach anytime, hang out at little bar over drinks and food. Burgers were amazing. Did NOT Like: Midnight front counter employee: Makayla (KAREN)!!! Ugh, she makes your stay impossible. Can't get towels from her, will only give you a towel if you give her a dirty one and she will only give you the size of the dirty towel you return. We were there 4 days/3 nights and she would only validate the gym card for 2 days because she said that was policy. But then when I told her we would be there for so many days she recanted and validated it until the last day but it was not easy. It's as if every request comes out of her paycheck. She emphasized she could "refuse service" when I got upset and demanded 4 towels. I had 4 in my party and she only wanted to give me 2. She was cynical and smirked and was extremely rude. She should NOT be working in customer service. When I spoke to Supervisor next day she told me to get what I needed before Makayla started her shift at 10 p.m. The guys that worked the front desk are super generous and anything you ask of them they give you, super friendly and prompt. This hotel needs to replace Makayla. She does not help the hotel reviews and knows how to attempt to ruin family vacations.

When I first arrived the man at the counter was rude. I was early because of my flight. I knew there was a bar so I went out there. But the guy didn’t even suggest it. He Just tried to make me check in early for an additional fee. But he just rude all the way around by making me wait for 5 minutes so he could play on the computer. And then when he was done did he finally ask what I needed. Then after 4pm I came back to check in there was another gentleman there he was very nice while he checked me in the other guy was still Playing on his computer while a line was building.

Been staying at this hotel in throughout the years this was the worst stay. I had a room that looked like it was falling apart in the bathroom. I struggled to get the patio door open to the point I only used it one time to step outside to look at the beach. I paid too much to not enjoy the views of the beach behind disappointed. To top it off it was beyond hot and humid upon check in and throughout the night….. only good thing was the front desk woman giving me an extra few minutes to check out which I appreciated.

I read the other reviews and almost didn't stay here BUT this was the only hotel on the beach. Here is what you need to know... 1.) Parking is $10.00, that is because it is city beach parking. 2.) When arriving the only sign is for Holiday Inn 3.) The hotel has NOT been kept up at all. I have stayed in worse, but for this price you need to understand what you are getting - you are getting the beach, not a 5 star room at the Ritz. 4.) The staff was amazing and I do mean AMAZING! 5.) The beds were comfortable 6.) I stayed in a cabana room directly on the water, the tv didn't work, the room could have been much cleaner, the lock/door handle on the entry door to the room was pretty much falling off. 7.) I saw the reviews about "roaches" I am from Corpus and yes there are some of these, but they are not roaches, they are some kind of beetle. They were not in the room but were on the patio. 8.) My checkin was extremely fast and efficient. I had my keys within 5 minutes. 9.) There aren't many food places close by, nothing walkable. Closest is going to be downtown which would be whataburger (yuck) or a nice Mexican food place called La Playa (highly recommend). There are several bar/restaurants downtown as well, if you like that atmosphere. So again, know what to expect... this is not going to be luxury. The price is high because of the beach location. Period!
