Although my husband and I have had pleasant experiences at other Days Inn across the U.S. and the world, our experience at THIS Days Inn (2838 South Padre Island Dr) was absolutely disgusting! We should have known from our prior experience with this particular hotel location that our stay would be horrific! The last time we stayed at this Days Inn the room was so humid that all of our clothes, sheets, and towels were damp. However, back then (2006), we did not see any cockroaches! This time we hoped things would be better. However, once again we were extremely disappointed. There were roaches EVERYWHERE...on the floor, on the walls, on the curtains, in the bathroom, even on the beds! After killing about 10 in the first five minutes, we decided to purchase bug spray to deal with the infestation! When we mentioned the problem to one of the employees, he simply shrugged his shoulder...What service! Stay away from this hotel!

I stay at many different type of hotels accross North America and grade High end hotels differently from regular hotels.

My car broke down in Corpus Christi and was towed to Nissan Dealership which is walking distance from the Days Inn.

I explained my situation to the manager and he gave me an outstanding rate. The best part was that the room/hotel was as good as the 3 plus star hotel I stayed in Downtown at half the price.

The bottom-line is that the hotel is very clean, quite, comfortable, and affordable.

My family and I checked into our motel room, only to find wet carpet and furniture, dirty sheets and an exceptional amount of black mold on the ceiling, walls and upholstery. The mold activity in the room had us fearing for our health, and we checked out immediately after we arrived. In addition, neither of the telephones in the room worked, and we were given a double bed, not the king we were told to expect. We were able to find another hotel just down the street that was not only cleaner, but offered lower rates (Comfort Suites). I do not recommend this hotel to anyone.

I stayed here on a 3 night business trip. It was okay.

Pros: The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was unbeatable...eggs,pancakes,muffins,sausage,etc...Location is close to lots of restaurants & beach (but everything is close in corpus christi) My room/sheets/bathroom were all clean. Pool area was nice and it was quiet while I was there.

Cons: Outside lock did not seem very secure on room. Carpet sticky. Not all cable channels working. Walls were a little thin, but it wasn't loud there after 10 or so. And the surrounding neighborhoods weren't too great.

If I had to go back to Corpus for business I would probably stay at another comparable motel instead of this one.
