The Hotel Corpus Christi Bayfront, Corpus Christi

We made the mistake of booking at this hotel even though some of the reviews were negative. After walking through the urine saturated parking garage, the musty lobby, being checked in by the skeezy night manager, and being so horrified by the conditions in our hotel room that my wife and I left in under two minutes I will say that this is the stupidest thing I have done in quite some time. Please avoid this hotel as no self respecting person should have to endure the sights and smells running rampant in this slum. Maybe it would pass for tolerable in Afghanistan or Ethiopa, but it's hard to imagine how health inspectors have allowed this place to stay in business unless they are getting paid off.

Booked this hotel thru Priceline.com because it was close to the bayfront. They need to inspect hotels. This was a DUMP. Even the parking garage was filthy. First room on 5th floor had a musty moldy smell. The comforter had spots all over it. The floor was dingy and dirty. Kept shoes on at all times. The bath tub was horrible. Noone would have used it. We informed them and the tenant moved us to a better room which he said was a upgrade. Ha-Ha. This was a suite on the 10th floor. Not much better. It had a smell and the air conditioner was extremely loud. Had to turn the tv up to hear it over the air conditioner. Finally the air conditioner went out. We were on the 10th floor in the heat. My dog was panting because she was so hot. We were refunded the stay for the following night but due to the inconvenience we should have been refunded for both. There were dirty old men or workers hanging out front and in the back of the hotel. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE STAYING AT THIS HOTEL. IT IS FILTHY. HEALTH INSPECTOR SHOULD VISIT THIS HOTEL. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. SLUM.

When I went into the room it was 100+ in the room, I could hardly breath. I ask the maid why and she said the owner wanted it that way, turn off all the a/c units. The mold was so thick we gaged from the smell. They must be paying off the city to keep it open. I wish someone from the federal gov. would investagate and close it down.

The pictures of this hotel are far from what it really looks like! For the price we paid you would have thought we booked the room for $20. We paid $160 and the smell of the hotel was horrible not to mention that the cracks in the wall, mildew stains in the tub & tile, doors didn't shut and infact, why have a key card to your room when you could just push it open. Why they put a coffee machine with coffee packets in the room and NO COFFEE POT is beyond me. The paper on the desk to show what channels were what was cool however, false advertisement when the phone showed the number to call for the front desk and NO ONE answered the PHONE! Also, there was a number to room service but NO ONE answered that line either. As SOON as we had taken a look around the room I wanted to leave...i would have preferred sleeping in my truck! I will NEVER go back here again and infact after taking time to read reviews with this hotel I only wish i did this BEFORE our stay. HORRIBLE HOTEL!!! Not friendly people!!!!! Management really needs to get it together and either fix this hotel up or have it torn down. This is just horrible!

Checked in and out in less then a half hour . The smell was outragous i the lobby and halls . and the room was covered in roaches Dead and Alive .This place needs to be closed untill its complety repaired . Mgmt saying under construction is a under statment Tryed to get a refund and was told they have to charge a half day , Thank god I didnt pay cash

i got freakinn bed bug bites it is nasty never stay here

We were there for a conference and stayed at the Bayfront Inn. It was definitely not a pleasant stay. it was dirty, smelled, and the staff were not friendly. The continental breakfast left a lot to be desired. The only thing decent was the shower, which was nice and hot, with a decent spray. The Bayfront Plaza was across the street, and looked a lot nicer. It as also within walking distance of the beach and downtown locations.

It was a bad location. Homeless chasing after us for money, hotel smells, ice machines (6) never worked. Window units not central. Restaurants, gift shops, everything closed. We stayed for 6 days & same brkfast everyday. Staff never cared to fix items. Coffee machine, toaster, etc, broken. Went back to room at :00pm to 6:00pm to rest, but because of the renovation there was alot of hammering and noise during the day. Very messy. Sometimes rooms not cleaned. Showers w/very hot water. Everything very old & not safe. Deceiving to us & others. Please stay away. Many people we spoke were told top of the line hotel over the phone very disappointed. Pretty much, they took your money and you were on your own. Messy hallways.

The price is definitely right, but you get what you pay for. If you are staying alone or aren't into the glitz and glamor, you'll be a satisfied customer. I expected low end due to the price, so I wasn't setting myself up for any disappointment. What surprised me was the heavy amount of internal water damage, leaks in the ceiling, and presence of mold. The bathrooms are definitely in need of heavy renovation. The lack of hot water was a bit annoying, but I like HOT water in the shower! Also, there is no central air, just a window unit. There is a cute little coffee and gift shop in the hotel. Most of the staff seem friendly and welcoming. Just a warning, if you want a posh place, shell out a little more... if you are on a budget and don't mind something a bit outdated... you'll be ok with this hotel.

I would definitely not recommend this hotel to anyone. The only good thing i got out of my stay was a bay view. However, there was no hot water, the elevator floors were wet, the ceiling was leaking, the bathroom sink had rust stains, the lamps did not have light bulbs and they supposedly have a free FULL breakfast and it was only a continental. The staff was ok but can only do so much because of the poor conditions/amenities that the hotel has to offer. To top things off, I was double charged for a one night stay.
