Hotels Near St. Andrew＇s Episcopal Church in Corpus Christi

There are lots of little things that I was willing to overlook at this hotel. We walked in the lobby to and empty desk and awkwardly approached. Looked around for a second. Then the front desk person came out of the room and was very pleasant and sent us to our room with one key. Most hotels give us 2. We got on the elevator and stood in the elevator looking at each other in horror at the sounds it made. No biggie. We got to our room and the door was cracked open. I made my wife wait while I checked the room for anyone that may be in there. Went back to close the door and realized I had to force the door shut. Which was annoying during a 4 day stay. The mirrors and windows were clean… except for the tops. I guess the house keeper was short…everything above 5 ft was still dirty. No biggie. Every surface above 4 ft in the room was dusty, which is gross. There were questionable stains in several spots on the carpet. The ledge under the window and around the AC unit was loose and was basically leaning against the wall. Safety issue! All issues I was willing to overlook. Bed was not comfy. It wasn’t horrible but not great. The ding from the elevator was extremely loud all night long. Breakfast was very underwhelming after seeing the pictures of breakfast online. All of this was fine until day 3 we followed the instructions in the room and went to the front desk to fill out a housekeeping request to have our room refreshed and our towels changed. We filled it out and put it in the basket. The lady up front that was taking a complaint from another person about footprints on their toilet. We dropped of the slip and the lady yelled past the other gentleman to us asking if we were checking out. We said “no we are just filling out a housekeeping request” she seemed very irritated and asked how long we have been there. We said it was our third day. She said you have to wait until the fourth day. We said that’s not what the paper in the room says. And she said I am sorry. So my wife said “well can we get some new towels?”(they only gave us 2) she said those requests need to be made early so the housekeepers can get it ready. We looked at our phones and said it’s not even 9 yet. She made a shooing motion and said I’ll take care of it in a very rude tone. We left very upset. I have never been talked to that way at any hotel or motel ever. In the hospitality industry you never talk to a customer in that way. EVER. We went to the beach and came back at 2pm still no towels no refresh. I found the housekeeper and she was very pleasant and gave me 2new towels. We told her don’t worry about the refresh. Summary: this place is using Covid as an excuse to not clean which is counter productive to preventing Covid. It is not a large hotel more accountability is needed with housekeeping and maintenance. Any lady that speaks to a guest the way we were spoken to should be fired. If you have Covid protocols follow them all not just the convenient ones. I would not recomme

Evaluation: The hotel front desk is friendly with its own parking building, parking 2F can go directly to the lobby, streamlined. The room is in good sanitary conditions, the balcony can see the aircraft carrier Lexington, straight line distance 5KM, and the Denan Art Museum designed by Philip Johnson is within walking distance. Recommended to stay! Room tips: It is recommended to choose a high-rise sea view room without a balcony, which can be overlooked by the front. The rooms with balcony are all facing the sea, the location is not ideal.

The toilet and shower were not clean at all. Had to clean then myself. The shower had no water pressure. They charge you for parking per day but our access card did not work the entire weekend. We had to press the service button to be let every time and we got stuck out there one time when no one was at the front desk. When we let the front desk know, she did not help fix the problem she just said get a ticket and the gate will open, but that did not help we we needed to exit.

We had the misfortune of staying on the same floor of the incredibly inconsiderate Fatma and Farah H, the previous two complaints. In all of my years of staying in hotels, never have I stayed next to a guest who was as intolerably loud and disruptive. First of all, they left their dog alone in the room from about 7pm until sometime in the middle of the night, which the hotel tells you specifically not to do. The poor dog barked incessantly without stopping, you could hear it throughout the entire floor of the hotel. Then when they eventually returned home in the middle of the night, they turned on the tv, cranked the volume and left it on until morning. They left 3 bags of garbage outside their door and took phone calls on speaker phone in the hallway for us all to enjoy. When we finally couldn’t handle it anymore and decided to complain to front desk, there were guests from 5 other rooms in line to make the same complaint. If ever a guest warranted an eviction, it was these people. The hotel had been dealing with complaints about them for days and were eventually left with no option. I credit the hotel for standing up for the other guests so we could all enjoy a reasonable stay.

What I liked about the hotel was bottled water was given at check in along with a snack and there is a filtered water machine on the premise. The lobby has nice seating areas and there is a variety of snacks and drinks available for purchase. Breakfast is included in the morning. The work out room is pretty good. The room itself smelled musty and the floor was filthy. The walls were peeling. The display on the clock wasn't working. They have walk in showers not tubs in most rooms which is nice.

This hotel is OK, that's the best way to describe it. The bed was comfortable and clean and the common area is very nice, but everything else seemed to be struggling. First, this is clearly not a new hotel, but a renovated one. And I don't know if I've ever seen a renovation so poorly done. Paint was uneven, cracks left unfixed, the tile in the shower looked like a topographic map, the caulking was globbed on, the vanity is pulling away from the wall. It should have been a nice, streamlined design, but it gave the impression the room was old and crumbling. The room was generally clean, but housekeeping is literally cutting corners. There was dust on the windowsills and the corners of the shower were mildewing, likely due to the poor caulk installation, but still. Those things are relatively minor. The real problem that this hotel seems to be having is the HVAC. The hallway is muggy and smells like the last carpet shampooing never properly aired out. The AC in the room had trouble keeping up and managing humidity. The room smelled slightly vaguely musty but I couldn't put my finger on it until I realized right before checkout that the carpet in front of the AC was wet; it leaks.

The hotel is very clean, the service is very good, and the breakfast is delicious. Unfortunately, the bath water was hot enough but turned to cold water halfway through the bath. I asked the front desk and they said there were too many guests taking baths at the same time, so there was no hot water.

The staff was welcoming and patient. Upon entrance, guests can see what is for breakfast on the board. My partner and I came back to the hotel at 10pm and saw what they're serving for breakfast the next day. The breakfast was delicious! Our room was spacious and comfortable. Guests can turn the AC to the lowest setting, 60 degrees. However, our tv was not in perfect condition. We noticed a line that comes down the middle, but wasn't distracting. The toiletries provided are the small travel size shampoo, conditioner, and facial wash. So if you're travelling with a family or large group, bring your own.
