Rooms are outdated and in poor repair. Light that did work did not have shades just light bulbs, I guess we were lucky we had some light. Owner keeps close eye on guests. Pay a little more for Motel 6.

Room was clean and very basic. Had to go to the office to get some ice, which came from their refrigerator. Location is excellent, nice area, just a basic motel. Great restaurant across the street and conveniently located near an HEB and other food options.

Extremely disappointed!!! This place is a dump and not worth a penny spent. Unfortunately we could not know what to expect since we were just passing by and it was really late. The rooms are dirty, the furniture is falling apart (literally), the AC unit is to small and it took at least 3 hours before the room was at a decent temperature to be able to sleep. There are light fixtures... yet they had no light bulbs, and to top it off like if it was not enough.... THERE IS NO HOT WATER!!!! It’s a shame that establishments like this are permitted to operate in this beautiful city of Corpus Christi.

Room full of cockroaches and flies. Not handicapped accessible. Never again. Shady and scarry. Afraid to even go outside to get ice..Oh that right No ICE MACHINE EITHER. If there was they would be roach pops! DON'T waste your time and save your 70$ a night!

The location is good, the owner is friendly, the room is big enough, the atmosphere was quiet, wifi was good, all interior in the room was oke, the bathroom was clean but the floor was very dirty, you wouldn't walk on it without your sandal or shoes and we found cockroachs, one dead and one on the wall.

Way down Ocean Drive. Quiet and clean. Nothing fancy, very homey, friendly and felt secure. No phones was a first. It is rather old, but they seem to be updating. Don't think there was cable tv, but you really don't need it in Corpus. Lots to entertain you already. I would stay here again.

Room is clean just passing through. The motel is old but recently updated it seems. Fresh paint new floors. The bed is very firm coil/foam type. The motel is across the street from bay. There are several walking paths by and to the bay also the streets have bike lane. The room did have a slight odor kind of maybe someone snuck a smoke it is a non smoking room.

Catalina Motel is located on ocean drive right across from the bay. It has AC, 2 queen size bed, stove, refrigerator, and of course a bathroom with shower. Not the best looking place, seemed kinda old and smelly. If it was cheaper it would have been better. If you are looking for a 4 star hotel/motel, this is definitely not it. But I liked the location and the manager seems nice.

We found this motel in the dark having booked on line. Easy to find and the owners pointed us in the right direction for food etc. The room was a standard basic room with comfortable beds so we got a reasonable nights sleep. We expected road noise but was surprised how quiet it was
