Wyndham Corpus Christi Resort North Padre Island

I booked through hotels.com and did not see anything about an additional $100 deposit that would need to be paid at check in for incidentals. A little heads-up there would have been nice. I even prepaid the booking and spoke with the hotel front desk the day before to make sure everything was handled and no one mentioned it. Besides that unexpected cost (that will take a few days for my bank to release back to me) there were a few other issues. Parking is an additional fee and that was also not made clear in any way before hand. Towing is strictly enforced. The pool is lovely but right by the bar so not as kid friendly as you might hope. Luckily the beach is right there so we spent our time there instead. When we got to our room there was a stiff crusty pair of panties left hanging over the shower rod and the bathroom door was off the tracks so that it would not shut or lock. They did fix that promptly when I told them about it. The elevator door also got stuck when my kids were on it so they ended up taking the stairs. For what we paid to stay there I was pretty disappointed with everything except the beach access.

I'll start with the good. Clean bed, hot shower, soap/shamp/conditioner dispenser had decent products, coffee pods were quality, clean water station in lobby, decent little restaurant near lobby with great service, small store inside with some convenient items, bar outside with music and food, ocean view, cold ac. Alright, so be prepared for the following. Upon check in you have a choice to park in the hotel parking lot for an additional $10 a day. There is public parking nearby if you dont mind the short walk. Breakfast available at the restaurant downstairs for under $20/pp-no continental breakfast. The beach is public and may be completely packed, so claim a spot early. It gets loud. Lots of different music competing. There are chairs on the beach for rent additional $15 and up. As in other reviews, pool was not open. Hot tub "under construction". The seagulls were enjoying the pool at least. The hotel itself is in some rough shape. The room was awkward with random furniture. Rusty fixtures. Someone else's hair on the toilet seat and in the shower. Door locks rusty, be careful not to get locked out on the balcony as I did. Trash was on the balcony from previous guests. Be careful in the elevator. It was really glitchy. You will need to check out towels for the beach. A few days in, asked for stayover service. They never changed our bedding just gave us extra towels, tp and trash bags. Its ok I guess but I won't stay here again.

I absolutely love this place. I come down here all the time. I see what their current review is and it does not match what I have experienced. It’s right near the water. The beach is really nice there and there’s a little outdoor bar that’s pretty cool. Have an indoor bar and restaurant as well. I haven’t eaten at the restaurant, but it seems like a nice place to eat. Just haven’t done it yet. The rooms are always nice and clean and comfortable and the staff is always friendly and attentive. I gave this place near a 10. The only thing is is that the place doesn’t need a little remodeling. But it’s all minor stuff. I would say the elevators are a little small for the size of hotel. But other than that, that’s it. I will always stay here when I come down the North Padre.
