Holiday Inn Express: Corpus Christi - Beachfront

They label this Holiday Inn Express but it's the Emarald and falling apart. Very deceiving.

Wow, this hotel is right on the beach. Go somewhere else, it is terrible and dirty. We paid $180 for this room, yes too much but, it's on the beach. $100 deposit, refundable after they check the room (7 days later if you pay by credit card.) and was charged $10 for parking which should be free for hotel guests. After you check in there is nowhere to park because their lot is shared with the public for the beach. They also pay $10. The elevators were very dirty, never swept out or mopped. The room is very outdated. You can tell at one time it was nice. However, the floor was dirty, we had to wear socks the whole time especially after a shower. The floor is not mopped or even swept, very filthy. The bathroom didn't look too bad, but don't look up to see the black mold on the ceiling. Behind the sink facet looks like it has never been cleaned. Looks like they are trying to grow potatoes. Thick dirt. The only thing clean in this room were the sheets on the bed. My husband took our dog out in the night and took the stairs down, there was puke at the bottom of the stairs. It was not fresh, it had been there for awhile. Breakfast was toast, muffins and coffee. That's it. You would expect after paying this kind of money you would have a little more. This hotel should be paying me to stay there. I did take pictures.

This hotel is awful. Terrible. We paid $247 for a water view room that was the nastiest room I’ve seen. The fixtures were dated, the door of our room like someone tried breaking into it, the toilet stopped flushing. Thankfully, my fiancé was able to correct it. There was rust on a couple of the vents, the walls in the hallway were beat up! This hotel is not worth the money. Thankfully, we were only there one night. We got out of there as early as possible.
