Very horrible will never ever stay in that hotel again. It was very hot. No parking whatsoever had to pay elsewhere to park because they have a three party. Parking. Other people were complaining. The restroom were very dirty. The bedsheets were dirty. It looked like the rooms were not even clean. I do not recommend this hotel for no one to stay there. They let any people in the swimming pool don’t matter who it is the swimming pool it’s only for about 100 people and had about 200 people in it.

Corpus Christi

Our trip was an anniversary celebration and decided to go to Emerald Beach Hotel in Corpus Christi. I don’t mean no disrespect but by judging the.condition of the hotel they need a lot of upgrades and renovations. The hotel is aged. It seems that the management are barely making it to survive. I can make a list of issues but who would listen. Bottom line we love the beach view room with balcony and access to the beach. We will continue to stay at Emerald Beach Hotel as we love the location of the Hotel.

The hotel is in desperate need of a renovation. The hallways smell of soaked beach water in the carpets. The room had peeling paint from the ceiling. Had to switch rooms due to the AC not functioning properly. 2nd room had a chair that the pleather was peeling off of it. 1 of 2 elevators broke night 1. Only positive is it was a close to the beach and a short drive to downtown nightlife and restaurants.

Meh..

Our initial room had a gaping hole above shower with dirty boot prints everywhere and drywall on floor. Requested new room…received room that air hardly worked in. Room was warm & muggy. Kept it as we only used it for sleep & showering but it was miserable. Hottub water was dirty & jets didn’t work. Need juice in comp breakfast.
