“This is the best EconoLodge I have ever stayed in, but not the best location.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2010

people found this review helpful

This is the best Econo Lodge I have ever stayed in, but not the best location.

This property is not in a good area. Although, It's hard to fault this particular hotel with that.

Everyone working at the hotel was extremely courteous. We had a few accommodations that were not what we had ordered, but the staff promptly resolved any issues. The building seems fairly new, and is in excellent condition.

The room was clean. The bathroom and vanity had both been updated and were quite nice. The rest of the room was what you would expect. The television had clear reception on all channels.

The breakfast area was super tidy. It opened on time. All food dispensers were clean, and in proper working order. The television was tuned to a national broadcast morning program.

Perhaps if more reputable business were willing to put-up shop there, this could eventually work it's way into being a nice part of town. Thumbs up to the owner of this particular property for making quite an effort to class-up the area.

Be warned, there are only two fast food drive thru choices nearby; both a few minutes away.

Regarding the location; to be fair, it is close to the Marina / USS Lexington / Aquarium. It takes literally a minute, or two, on the road (I-37) to the attractions at the bay. Although, If traveling with small children, this wouldn't be my first choice, but I certainly wouldn't overlook it.

Like I said at the beginning: This is the best Econo Lodge I have ever stayed in. If you need a clean, comfortable, quiet room that is close to downtown at a fair price; and you'll be spending most your time at business and/or attractions anyway. . .This is the place for you.

“Nice hotel but BAD location. Nowhere near the beach.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 June 2010

Booked this hotel via Hotwire Hot Rate so had no idea what hotel we would end up with. However, their description says 2.5 star in Marina/Bayfront area, so assumed it would be a block or two from the beach and marina. But once booked, they let you know the hotel and it was this one. It is nearly 1 mile from beach or marina and is in a very BAD neighborhood. Also, an econolodge typically is not 2.5 star but is actually a 1 or 2. I will say the hotel room was nice and clean and staff was very nice. Free breakfast was also good with cook your own waffles, fruit, cerial, muffins, etc. And also had free WiFi. But, if you want something in walking distance to the beach, do not get this hotel.

“Good job! Hopefully I get one too!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 April 2010

I was in town for an interview and was pointed to this hotel by a coulleague. I was skeptical as it was a small hotel. However being on a budget was important to me. This hotel was worth the money. Staff was excellent and room was very fresh. Thank you!

we had gone to corpus during spring break with our family. there were no rooms on the beach but found one last room at this hotel, i'm glad we did!. the rooms were much cleaner than the beach hotel rooms we had stayed before. we also learned that the hotel was previously a comfort inn so it was a great bargain for the price we paid. we will definately go back to this hotel on our next visit to corpus christi. also, the staff was very helpful and friendly.

“Bad part of town !”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 August 2009

First off this hotel is in a very bad part of C.C. Bums everywhere asking for money!!!!!!!!!!!! We understand it is not the hotels fault, just a warning to everyone. 2nd we got into town early and just wanted to rest. Check in with a reservation was at 3:00. We called the front desk at 2:00 and informed them that i did have a sick child with me and asked if we could check in just a little early. I was informed very rudly that it did not matter if it was a sick adult or sick child that there was not a room ready and could not check in until 3:00. Everyone knows that there are rooms ready at 2:00 in the afternoon!
The front desk person was very rude. When we did get into our room I can say it was clean. The pool is very small. And because of the location and rudness we will not be staying here again.
