Hotels near Conrad Blucher Institute, Corpus Christi

I arrived at this hotel and immediately encountered refurbishing work in progress. The front desk area was chaotic, with workers on the floor directly in front of thr Front Desk and it was unclear where guests should go. A woman behind the counter ignored me, leaving me confused until one of the workers directed me to the side of the counter. Surprisingly, the same woman who had been ignoring me then greeted me. I thought it was odd that she hadn't beckoned me over. The room itself was disappointing. As soon as I opened the door, I was hit by a strong moldy smell. The ceiling had large brown blotches, some of which were partially painted over. The AC unit worked but had a large rust patch on it. There was a hole in the ceiling and white unidentified splash marks on the bed frame. The bedside table was broken, and the pillows, though in clean cases, lacked protectors and were stained yellow. Due to the ongoing refurbishments I assumed the room was mistakenly given to me thinking it was completed, so i took some pictures and went back to the reception. The receptionist, ”Jenny or Janine,” was not interested in seeing the photos and informed me she would only move me once. Her attitude suggested that providing an acceptable room was somehow my responsibility. And she would not be inconvenienced by it. This was a work trip, so I decided to check out her ”take it or leave it” offer and deal with it later. The next room was slightly better, though the pillows still lacked protectors. A quick trip to Walmart solved that issue. The receptionist could definetly benefit from additional training. I would not recommend staying here, at least not during their renovation period.

This is a great place to stay. We stayed 2 nights in here when we went on trip to Padre Island National Seashore. Their contactless check-in and check-out were great. They value the safety and their guest and very convinient too. Hotel rooms, hallway, elevator and dining area are all clean. Beds are very comfortable to sleep and rooms are equiped kitchenette and very modern design. Bonus is you can control all the lightings and other devices inside the room with the Hilton app. Definetly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Corpus Christi or Padre Island.

It's been a couple years since last visit. Happy Hour is not as happy: they no longer offer complimentary wine (ticket) just beer and the house wine was $10 a glass. I didn't see any snacks on a week night. However, I was impressed with breakfast, if you like oatmeal, they offered chocolate chips & craisins, very nice!

The first time I went into the shower, it stopped mid bathing while there was shampoo in my hair. Come down to the front desk was able to get into a different room. Had to pack up everything and move with shampoo in my hair to the other room. When we moved to the other room it was 83° in there, and it smelled very bad. Called down to the front desk had to go back down a second time to get a different key for another room which I am appreciative we were able to move rooms due to the two inconveniences. The third room the bathroom light when you turned it on, proceeded to flicker repeatedly and there’s no way we could’ve used the light like that. It hurt all of our heads . Then we called down to the desk and had to go down a third time to get a different room key again appreciative that they moved us to a different room where I was able to finally finish washing the shampoo out of my hair and very disappointed in this hotel . My son dropped a napkin when he was getting his breakfast and did not notice. The lady who was taking care of the breakfast, noticed the napkin and got upset and made hand gestures and grunting about the napkin being on the floor after she cleaned that area when my son arrived to the table, I was at. I proceeded to let him know that he dropped a napkin and he turned around and picked it up and threw it away, I could not believe the behavior of the employee . The swimming pool was also very green and smelled very bad. I have a video of the bathroom light that was flickering repeatedly, but I am unable to Upload it here.

We were in town for business and a little beach time. The location is nicely situated near several chain restaurants (Outback, BJ’s, Chuys), Check in we were greeted so warmly! Crystal is the star talent of the property. So friendly and hospitable. The hotel has a clean, modern and youthful feel. They have a bar, live entertainment at night, pool table and spacious lounge space for meetings. Our room was quiet and on the top floor. We travelled with our two pugs and they were kindly welcomed and even given a bag of biscuits each day.it’s of good space to take them to do their own “biz meetings” . The room was spacious and thoughtfully designed with loads of cubby holes and ample closet space to keep things tidy. Bathroom shower did seem to have a leaking problem. We had to place towels all over the floor. Enjoyed having a coffee maker, sage and microwave. Sleep: quiet room facing south. AC Unit was a wall type and didn’t blow constantly- it would turn on and off through the night and was quite loud. Great gym facility! Pool was clean and grounds were well kept. And only 15 minutes to our fave spot on whitecap beach to soak up sun after our meetings were done. Will add this our Corpus list. Final props to the amazing staff. Such good people!!

The breakfast was fantastic. The cooks kept bringing items out as soon as they were empty. Cereal bar, oatmeal bar, fruit bar, pastries, toasts, made-to-order omelets and scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, fried potatoes and pancakes. The customer service was great, however you have to ask for your room to be cleaned. The room was lacking some good old scrubbing, but that’s why I travel with my Clorox wipes. Overall, great experience!

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! Everything was top-notch, from the friendly staff to the comfortable rooms. Highly recommended!
