What guests think

At Residence Inn Corpus Christi, reviews describe spacious, apartment-style suites and a convenient location near shops and restaurants, but also note ongoing renovations with visible wear, periodic facility disruptions like pool closures and elevator problems, and broader maintenance concerns.

Several guests praise friendly front-desk staff and a hot, varied breakfast. Cleanliness and housekeeping feedback is mixed, with reports of musty odors, pests, and limited towel or room servicing on short stays. Some experienced noise from the neighboring Home Depot and occasional service lapses, including slow responses or billing issues. Expect convenient suites, but check renovation status and room condition for a smoother stay.

It was disappointing to see how below the standards this Residence Inn was in terms of what what I expected. I never had to worry about my stay at any Residence Inn before this stay. If it was possible I would send pictures of the inside and outside absolutely terrible. TV's not working, dishwashers not working, outside seating area in terrible condition. Absolutely disappointing.

The place was a little run down and in need of renovating. The gym’s AC was broken so the entire room was a sweat box. I felt the need to go and purchase my own towels.

Our stay began on 7/3 and ended 7/5. The property was renovating so there was no pool at this property. However, we did have access to a pool at a sister property. The pool was in an enclosed, humid, hot space with no air circulating. It did not look as of the pool was correctly maintained, chemically. We didn’t realize that with our 2 night stay we would not get fresh towels or trash service. The front desk did bring us a minimal amount of towels when requested. Unfortunately, our room did not have a clean, fresh smell. I did feel the need to sanitize and wipe everything down. There was quite a bit of loose hair on the floor that my socks picked up. We did like the layout of the room. We were next to the Home Depot and they were moving materials at all times of the night and early morning. Carla was truly the sunshine to each morning. She always greeted us with a smile and asked how our trip was going. The breakfast was fairly good with multiple options from bagels, to cold or hot cereal, to waffles and sausage. The location was great! We were near anything we could have possibly wanted. Overall, the stay could have been better with more frequent room cleaning and a better room that wasn’t near the Home Depot.

Friendly staff, quiet inside the hotel (not so much outside--Home Depot forklifts morning and night). Several little things in the room that were annoying to us but could really upset those more detail-oriented (broken ice maker, drawer that won't stay shut, no landline, burned out light bulb, kitchen faucet won't move), elevator malfunctions 3 of 5 days, front door malfunctions 2 days.

This is literally the only property in Corpus Christi that is up to the standards of other hotels in more populous places. I would say at least 95% of the “top properties” in corpus have horrific humidity problems in their rooms. This property is one that is pristine with beautiful rooms and fantastic upkeep, as well as HVAC systems that function as well as ones in a regular house. During my current trip, I stayed in four different hotels over the first two days, because I just could not lower myself to the standards of these other properties. When you come to corpus, though, be sure that you pick this residence inn. There are two others, and while I can’t vouch for the quality of the downtown one, the other one on the south side is horrendous. The people there are lovely, but the property is absolutely the pits. This SPID property has fabulous friendly and welcoming staff, wonderful amenities, and has the feel of being completely new. I will never ever stay anywhere else when I am in corpus!

huge amazing spacious stay! i was there for 4 nights and got the 500 square-foot room with the king bed, living room, dining room room, kitchen. Felt like a little apartment. The TV didn't work. It was having issues so we're both the neighbors but I don't really watch TV I had my alexa speaker and laptop. It is probably regarding the new TVs or the Wi-Fi. I'm not sure but that didn't affect my stay. the the pool was also closed which sucked, but they said you could go to the next-door hotel (no thnx)

Toliet had a leak. We were told it will be replaced while we were out and that we will have our towles to be refreshed. Came back to find wet towels still surrounding the toliet, hardware on the toliet, and no clean towles. Was not informed the replacement wasnt successfull. Had to switch rooms only to fund the lights in the kitchen did not work, outlet by bed did not work, and bed was really different from our first room. Extremely uncomfortable. Lawn surrounding the hotle severely over grown. Some spots almost as tall as me!! Mosquitoes through out the lobby and in our second room.

Loved how nice the property was! The breakfast was also always super tasty! The only issues were that we found a cockroach there; they came and sprayed the next morning. I also called about there being a bee in my room and no one ever came. My cat almost got stung and I had to take care of it myself. Honestly, other than that, it wasn't that bad.

Wall paper was peeling in kitchen, no towels when we arrived front desk lady said there was towels in the room 😳… luckily I had brought my own beach towels, because we were supposed to go relax on the beach… She said she found us some pool towels. I was glad she ended up giving us some kind of towels. She did go out of her way to give me a spatula to cook with my son is autistic and his routine was a pancake at night. Hallways smelled of mold so sad. Property was ok .

The hotel room needed repairs to things that were simple like loose door hinges but annoying. The first suite we got the heat was stuck on 86 degrees. They moved us to another suite but again just small things needed repairs. Also we were here 3weeks and when they supposedly serviced the room they didnt actually clean just straightened and then didnt restock tp, tissues, soap, etc. Really not sure what they did?

…worst residence inn that I’ve stayed in. Usually they are very nice. Staff was great and even changed my room, but it did not help much. Bedroom tv volume has stuck at full blast. Drawers on dresser would not stay closed, opened themselves all the way, right into the limited walk space at the foot of the bed. Both rooms had the same issue. Could not access WiFi at all. Otherwise, it was just “ok”.

Staff is very friendly and helpful and made check-in a breeze. Rooms and building need an update, it isn't terrible, simply outdated. Easy access to property from the highway, central to shopping and dining. Had an issue with the television at the fault of the provider and not the hotel. Daniel, maintenance personnel, was very helpful with getting the issue sorted out and has an awesome demeanor, made us feel like it was his pleasure to help us out rather than it being an inconvenience. Next time we stay out that way, we will be staying there.

I have stayed at several different Residence Inn before and always like convenience of having a full kitchen w/my stay that is why I chose this option. But this stay was not quite as satisfactory as I would have like. I put on my Expedia that i wanted to pay there at hotel but before we could even check out they already had charged our card. The room also did not have cable, when we called maintenance advised that changes were taking place and they were sorry that we were not informed ahead of time. So all they had was Antenna access channels....That is not at all Okay- But after you are there what can you do .

Well check in was a horrible experience. I was charge twice for my stay. They did eventually reverse one charge and just waiting for my money to drop off pending. I felt unsafe in my room due to strange females banging on the doors and yelling obscenities. Didn’t see security at all in the hotel property.
