Family trip

First off, this is an older hotel that is in need of a renovation so go in with that in mind. With that being said, the rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff is very nice. What you can't beat about this hotel is the location. The beach access and the little bar on the beach is great! They even had a DJ out in the evenings. We will stay again.

We stay here once a year. We like the location near all the tourist attractions. We also like the amenities that include beach access and beach bar. The property is older and is in need of upgrades but our room was clean and the staff is very helpful and friendly. We especially want to thank Eddie with maintenance for helping us retrieve a phone we thought we lost in the hot tub area.

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.

Hotel is very convenient to the beach, very friendly staff. Parking at the hotel is $35 which is a bit inconvenient when your already paying a lot for the room. Housekeeping only entered to take trash out, never left clean towels or toilet paper. Had to walk to the front desk for these items. Room ceilings and bathroom have mold which is so harmful to people. Spending $500 for weekend to have visible mold is not ok. The curtains on the sliding door are very dirty and visible mold. Beds are super small.

When booking online , i thought it was more up to date on remodels . But it was just very basic , no breakfast - just bagels and coffee. Very quite rooms but smaller than other hotels . We thought it was gonna give us an ocean view but it didnt give us the option. It was right in the middle of town , very convenient for our one day stay to sight see.

Clean room but that was about it

The good: The room was clean and comfortable. The bad: The back door by the pool was open when I arrived; no towels so I had to call for them; NO WIFI (are you kidding me?); at 4:19AM the alarm went off for about 10 minutes which gave people enough time to fully wake up, get dressed and go outside just as the alarm went off.
