Residence Inn Corpus Christi Downtown

Staff was nice, hotel was clean. Barely any hot water and no pressure. Pipe burst on the fifth floor and I had to vacate my room for two nights.

I absolutely loved this property; we ended up needing to stay in Corpus a second time in the same week and we booked Residence Inn again. A different room and all was great. We did have two issues that the property should consider evaluating. The couches are very slippery and uncomfortable. We stayed with my disabled father, who was having surgery the next morning, and he had a really hard time sitting on those couches because the cushions slide forward. It was uncomfortable for everyone who sat there, in both rooms that I rented. Another issue that we had, was that we requested a walk-in disability shower. The first room that we stayed in did not have any barrier between the shower floor and the actual restroom floor. There are two drains, so I believe water may slide out of the shower. However, we didn’t feel safe with my dad using his walker and walking Through the restroom floor as wet and slippery as it was, so we had to put down several towels to dry up the floor after each shower because there was no barrier. The second room I rented on the second floor had a decent walk-in shower with a small barrier that worked out well. I still rate this hotel highly and would happily stay there again.

This is probably the best loding option in Corpus Christi. It's relatively new and beautiful. t also has free breakfast and laundry options. And, it's right on the Bay. The only negative...which is so easy to fix...is the the free breakfast is served with paper plates and plastic silverware. For such a nice hotel, it would make sense to invest in real dishware and hire an extra person or too for dishwashing. Otherwise, the hotel is "top notch" and we will always seek to stay here.

Front Desk staff was great. They assisted us in getting our room earlier than we expected which helped us get ready for an afternoon graduation ceremony. They were kind enough to wish me congratulations on my graduation and made the entire check-in/check-out process and our stay stress free. The bartender was great when we stopped by for a celebratory drink and the Lobby Attendant helped us with directions for our dinner reservation. Convenient location, nice suite and a view of the bay! Overall a great stay and great staff, thanks!!!

Laura at the front desk was especially nice and accommodating. Unexpectedly we had to change hotels and arrived at 9:00 asking for early checkin if possible. Laura had something ready by about 2:00. We noticed the rest of the staff was cheerful and accommodating, always asking if there was anything they could do to make our stay more pleasant. Well Done!

These people charge me $600 for a TV that I did not break. I don’t know what happened to the TV or, whether any TV was actually ever broken. But this certainly seems like a scam. Be sure to photograph everything in the room before you leave.

It was a great stay. Was able to get a good breakfast both nights, and it was conveniently located to all of the great corpus attractions.

I recently stayed at the Residence Inn Corpus Christi Downtown and overall, I'd give it a 7 out of 10. The hotel does have several strong points, like its prime downtown location and friendly staff, which definitely enhanced my experience. However, there are some areas that need improvement. Firstly, parking was a real struggle. The hotel seems to have limited parking spaces, which meant I had to circle around multiple times before I could find a spot. For a place that caters to out-of-towners, this inconvenience can set a frustrating tone for the stay. Another issue was the soundproofing between rooms. I could hear almost everything going on in the room next to me, which isn't ideal if you're looking for a peaceful retreat. Lastly, the beds require attention. The mattresses seemed quite outdated and didn't offer the level of comfort I expected from a hotel of this standard. A mattress update would significantly improve the quality of stay. So while the Residence Inn Corpus Christi Downtown does have its merits, these drawbacks impacted my overall experience. With a few tweaks, this could be an excellent place to stay.

Even though the property is fairly new, it is beginning to show wear and tear.
