Initially, the toilet had poop on the toilet, went and spoke to the office and they had the housekeeper clean it right away. Housekeeper wiped the toilet lid down only. We ended up going to the store and buying cleaning supplies and wipes the walls, doors, shower and toilet ourselves. Other than that initial experience, the location was great, the pool was good, and we had no other issues.

Overall the place was decent, right by the beach and views of the USS Lexington Museum. Our stay was stay able, although my wife and I are used to higher rated hotels, you can’t beat the price for staying on the beach here in Corpus.

Sweetest owner 💜 let me choose my room ❣️ clean comfy and 1 minute walk to beach ⛱️ private access. Great trip! I will be back. Traveling with small kids.

Love it here! Walk to the beach just perfect for fishing!

Price is low do you get what you pay for.

The property was adequate for my stay purpose and the staff was very good, professional, courteous and friendly.

Good place to spend the night in Plus the beach is right in front

Very nice workers but beds were very uncomfortable they need to be replaced

It was fine for two nights

Our stay at the Sea Shell was nice and accommodating. The only complaint that I would have is that my parents have trouble climbing to the third floor, and the steps are uneven and treacherous. I asked for different more accessible rooms on a lower floor to no avail. The room was clean, quiet, and had a beautiful view. Thank you.

We took a quick family trip in June. This was the cheaper option near the Aquarium, USS Lexington and walkable to the beach. The water was way too choppy when we went to get in, not the motels fault. However, the pictures of the motel are really deceiving. I understand when paying lower price you get what you pay for, but this was awful. Rusty, dirty rooms, stuff from the people before you on the floor (hair, gum wrappers, etc) the table tops were dirty, the headboard was broke, ceiling was disgusting, kitchen was dirty, bathroom was okay. It’s one thing when you see pictures of so so rooms and then you expect it, but when you expect what the listing reflects then actually arrive, it’s awful. Stairs, stairs and stairs. I don’t mind but when you have a 2 year old it was cumbersome. We swam in the pool one night, it wasn’t the cleanest and people were just out there smoking cigarettes while I have an 2 year old out there and they had their own kids. Shame. Only positive was the view from our room.

A lot of construction. It made driving confusing. No ice and no coffee. Had to go buy it. Closeness of the beach was great.

Dated property but clean and comfortable. Basic amenities in the room. Super nice towels. Coffee maker was not cleaned. Quiet.

The rooms were big and spacious and the beach was nice to see from your room.

It’s was easy access to the beach and the Lexington

Ok

I will absolutely stay here again. Pros: very friendly service from the staff. I needed a fan and after day 2 needed more TP and they had it to us shortly. Walk literally to the beach in less then a minute. Totally clean. Cons: No elevator which is fine for me, but the stairs are fairy steep. No continental breakfast. This place is old, and it shows, but for the price what do you expect? It’s also Mosquito city! Holy crap, I was eaten alive, so bring bug spray!!!!!

Easily gets flooded around.

it was an older motel .but they did keep it maintianed..enjoy walikng on beach. will return

It's not the Hilton, but you know that going in. Its a little strange when you first come in because its dated, but that is in other reviews. The spout in the tub is loose & needd caulking. I would somehow hide all the wires hanging from the TV. There are no elevators, so getting my baggage to the third floor wasn't easy.other than that, The beach is your front yard. It's clean. There are no roches. The A/C works. I came in mid September, so the beach was nice and uncrowded.

Loved that it was right on the beach. Very clean rooms. Richard from customer service was awesome. Can’t wait to come back!!!

This was perfect for beach side properties to USS LEXINGTON and Texas State Aquarium in Corpus Christi. Had the kitchenette room and brought food to cut expenses. Was clean and safe.

Area was good. And have a fridge and microwave and you can seat on the table lookimg at the beach amd lookimg at the uss lexington ship

I picked this hotel since it backs up to the beach, just a two minute walk and you’re at the shoreline! That is SO nice. Sadly, they have no ice, the pool is dirty but the worst part is the room is nasty. There was sand all over our floor, the comforter had dried gosh, no telling what it was in several places. The shower was gross, sand and stains in the tub. Missing handles in the cabinet, and visible dried liquids that have dropped down on them. The refrigerator had brown liquid frozen in the freezer section and the outside had nasty grime all over it. Even my kids were disgusted by this room and one is only six years old. The curtain to the window was hanging down at the top right side. There was a rag stuffed into the crack in the bathroom that led to the next room! Only book here if you don’t mind being in leftover unknown stuff

The staff were super friendly and helpful. Chips under the fridge door and dirty dinning chairs combined with fading paint were overlooked when we realized that we were right by the beach!

We've been here many times since 2002 and we've always liked it and have recommended it to all oir friends and family. But over all this was a good quick visit however office staff could be a little more friendlier and greet customers with a smile at least.

Clean room, super cold A/C was perfect for the hot days. Beautiful ocean view and steps from the sand. So nice to just be able to set up on the sand for the day and walk to your room as needed. The pool felt great too. The staff was really friendly and it was nice to have covered parking. Walking to the gift shops, restaurants, the Lexington and Aquarium was a plus. Once you park, you really don’t have to drive anywhere. Will be back.

Had a good day , my daughter played in the pool . It was very clean and comfortable. Friendly place.

NICE VIEW OF THE OCEAN. PROPERTY IS RUN DOWN AND OUTDATED, BUT BEDS WERE COMFORTABLE.

The room was very Dirty. Food was left in the refrigerator there were no towels no toilet paper beds were not made and the sheets and blankets were filthy and stained from the prior guest. Talked to the owner and he said there was nothing he could. The staff was apologetic and said they had many complaints from other guest. They said the cleaning crew they hired wasn't doing there job. So we took pictures and asked for at least some credit but the owner refused even after the owner saw the pictures. We will never stay here again. I booked thru Expedia and when I got to the room they game me a receipt with someone else's name on it but had me sign for the room. So they gave me someone else's room instead of the room I booked. We were here for an event and had other members stay at the same hotel with the same issues and they took pictures as well.

Our room had a kitchen. We made a roast in the crock pot.We went to bed approx 11pm and woke up 1 hour later with roaches crawling on us in bed and they were all over the kitchen. All over our food. It was disgusting. We told management and they won't refund the money. This place is a dive.

It was a great stay affordable, convenient. Great location and my kids and I loved it! Great friendly staff! It’s not a 5 star but clean, great AC clean pool! Amazing view!
