• Rodrick (6/5): -
• George (1/5): -
• Mwansa (8/5): Quite decent except for a dumb smell otherwise okay. Can book again. - Location. Bad odor.
• Torres (5/5): Good value for a Spartan. - Location, payment and arrival confusion was sorted out and fixed. Flor cleanliness could have been better, tv never was not programmed. Luckily I had a book to read.
• Jose E (6/5): - Very clean

• John (8/5): Comfortable - Clean A little outdated
• Savannah (1/5): Crappy. But cheap. - Location The rooms were not clean, very dingy, there was no hot water in our original room, so we got moved. The second room had no water pressure. Overall the property needs a total renovation.
• jesse (2/5): - The picture when you look at the booking sites look nice but once you book the room is terrible. Paid for 2 nights only stayed one felt unsafe with people sitting outside and others standing on the corner.
• Isabel (5/5): - The location was great for the price. able to walk around town and to the bay. The room was very hot, next time if I do decide to stay there, I will call ahead to have someone from their staff turn the AC on. Also, there was a bad odor smell in the room, we went to purchase Febreze to get rid of the smell. Lastly, our bathroom was not clean or maybe it was, but it did not meet our expectations. A little more effort on cleaning the rooms would be appreciated. I know it's hard to keep up and clean all rooms, so I completely understand just want to give my overall experience. Thank you!

• Jose (6/5): - Pool was closed. Kinda dumpy
• Maria (3/5): Ok for one night - Good location. A/C was very loud. I tried to change the temp from 62 to 68 and it started to smell awful. Had to turn it off for awhile then just leave it at 62. There was a cockroach at night. The a/c was not on when I arrived and took about an hour to get cold.
• Jeff (8/5): - Nice, quiet, and small property without noisy or rowdy guests. It was a perfect location near the beaches and downtown. It's a basic motel without the amenities I never use anyways. Perfect home base for a quiet, relaxing weekend trip to the beach. I will stay there again.
• Kathryn (8/5): Great for the price! - The Catalina is perfect if you are looking for a place to rest between heading to the beach. Beds are clean and comfortable. It needs updating but for the price I can easily overlook it. We had two rooms and one had an overwhelming smoke smell, the other was a bit more updated and better.
• Del (10/5): Exceptional -
• Silva (9/5): Superb - Close to beaches
• John (7/5): Good -
• Jake (1/5): Unpleasant - Nasty trashy motel
• Kristopher (6/5): - Water wasn’t that hot for a shower and there was still hair in the shower area and the toilette seat was to small for the toilette and looked lk it was recycled and drug across the road

• Allan (1/5): Bad -
• Shaik (2/5): Very poor -
• Hand (7/5): My stay - This place is clean, comfy and a great price. I love the locale right across from the bay. It's older but really kept clean!! I git charged a "resort" fee upon arrival for 7.00$. I told her that I've never paid a resort fee..that was strange.

• Hand (9/5): My stay - This place was comfy clean and is great for 2 nights. Small fridge nice TV. Older hotel but worth the money No coffee maker!
• Valerie (10/5): - Good place to stay
• Sarah (10/5): - Owners were super friendly and sweet. We had our boat so they put us at the far end so we had more room for parking. Its an older outdated place, but over all it was clean and the beds and pillows were cleand and comfortable. If your out an about with things planned and really just need a place to sleep a few hours and shower, this is the place! We will definitely comeback!
• Rosemary (2/5): - Did not have hot water
• Verified traveler (6/5): MEH old motel!!!! - Unrenovated 1950 single level motor hotel. The motel is in a good location and is quiet, but it needs renovation.
• Christopher (7/5): True American 50's Motel - You get what you pay for. This place is right next to the beach and close to Selena’s final resting place. It’s a true American motel experience. The place is really old, but also very cool. It's verry outdated and need a lot of renovations but good for a short stay and the price
• Johannesen (7/5): Good -
• Ricardo (2/5): Not great - I liked that the room did not get too cold and the wifi an TV were good for our work. Room was cleanish. The walls were deteriorating and had a hole in them in which we saw mini cockroaches come into the room. It was not many (abouht 6-8) but still nasty. Water was not hot and was always cold and the pillow cases were a bit dirty.
• Phuoc (6/5): - Like quiet,do not like dirty on wall ceiling cracked,spider on wall.cricket crawling on floor.small fly live in bath tub.
• John (7/5): It was ok for one night - Roches.
• David (10/5): Exceptional - Great location and all the staff is always very nice
• Bart (6/5): Pleasant - Older hotel, a little worn, but that's to be expected. It was clean and comfortable and the staff was friendly. The hot and cold water flucuates in the morning when others are also showering.
• Willie (3/5): The overall stay was gross. - The staff on duty lent an electric iron but no board. The bed smelled like piss! It was gross. We have to buy pillow cases and towels from walmart to offset some odor but to no avail.
• Juan (4/5): The conditions make me question my stay - I would really like to speak to some one about my stay I have pictures. The room had water, restroom and a bed sleep but Nats spider and insects. A big went in my sons ear wile he was asleep. thankful when he got up my wife brushed it out his ear. Nasty mold or growth in shower curtain window. I don’t know if that shampoo was left behind or came with the room it says red roof in. I did not dare to use. We had no where to throw trash as all cans were full over filling
• Carla (8/5): Sleep and go - All I ever care about is a clean bed and cold room. This place had that, so for me it worked. I was there because my husband was having surgery, but if you want to play at the beach, it’s across the street. It is on Ocean Drive, so there is fishing, play areas, running paths, maybe even a summer concert series happening nearby. The woman who checked me in was sweet. We did run out of toilet paper, but got by. We did have two towels, two wash cloths and two hand towels. I was in room 30. There appears to be a water leak somewhere because the floor was wet. The floor had shoe prints on the tile and a cigarette butt behind the night stand. The shower was newer and tile around sink was too, but no hot water at sink. Clearly needs some TLC but for a good night sleep, it worked for me. Oh and the a/c makes a great amount of noise but I prefer that over silence. Would I stay again? You bet. I’m easy to please.

• Germaine Kezia (2/5): - I didn't stay here
• beverly (2/5): - I never stayed i need a refund
• Alberto (7/5): Good -
• Jose Luis (4/5): - Upon checking into room, I was disappointed to find that the room lacked essential amenities. Specifically, there was no toilet paper or bath towels provided. Furthermore, the cleanliness of the room was below expectations, with noticeable stains on the walls and other surfaces.
• Derrick (10/5): - Good cheap spot. Rooms aren't fancy but decent for a few night stays.
• Leonard (10/5): Exceptional - Good location 👌
• Sheila (4/5): Disappointing -
• Perkins (8/5): Peacefully serene - The rating on online isn't accurate. The staff was very nice. With smiles that was genuine. My room is Huge. Clean. With amenities that are not provided normally at no additional. The location is easy to get too, across from the beach and the sunrise over the ocean is breathtaking. The hotel was so quiet, I kept sleeping thru my alarm. Plus l felt safe being here. When I visit Corpus Christi, TX in the future, I will only stay here!!!!

• Verified traveler (4/5): - No toilet paper...at all in the bathroom. There was a pouch of tuna on the floor. The refrigerator was not cold the microwave should not be used. It's a fire hazard.
