Hotels near Oso Creek Church, Corpus Christi

This hotel is OK, that's the best way to describe it. The bed was comfortable and clean and the common area is very nice, but everything else seemed to be struggling. First, this is clearly not a new hotel, but a renovated one. And I don't know if I've ever seen a renovation so poorly done. Paint was uneven, cracks left unfixed, the tile in the shower looked like a topographic map, the caulking was globbed on, the vanity is pulling away from the wall. It should have been a nice, streamlined design, but it gave the impression the room was old and crumbling. The room was generally clean, but housekeeping is literally cutting corners. There was dust on the windowsills and the corners of the shower were mildewing, likely due to the poor caulk installation, but still. Those things are relatively minor. The real problem that this hotel seems to be having is the HVAC. The hallway is muggy and smells like the last carpet shampooing never properly aired out. The AC in the room had trouble keeping up and managing humidity. The room smelled slightly vaguely musty but I couldn't put my finger on it until I realized right before checkout that the carpet in front of the AC was wet; it leaks.

We had the misfortune of staying on the same floor of the incredibly inconsiderate Fatma and Farah H, the previous two complaints. In all of my years of staying in hotels, never have I stayed next to a guest who was as intolerably loud and disruptive. First of all, they left their dog alone in the room from about 7pm until sometime in the middle of the night, which the hotel tells you specifically not to do. The poor dog barked incessantly without stopping, you could hear it throughout the entire floor of the hotel. Then when they eventually returned home in the middle of the night, they turned on the tv, cranked the volume and left it on until morning. They left 3 bags of garbage outside their door and took phone calls on speaker phone in the hallway for us all to enjoy. When we finally couldn’t handle it anymore and decided to complain to front desk, there were guests from 5 other rooms in line to make the same complaint. If ever a guest warranted an eviction, it was these people. The hotel had been dealing with complaints about them for days and were eventually left with no option. I credit the hotel for standing up for the other guests so we could all enjoy a reasonable stay.

I stayed here with my family for vacation. We paid $200 for this suite. Unfortunately, it was not a suite at all. The bed was made but it looked like someone had just been sleeping on it. There were wrinkles everywhere. A suite has a room that divides the couch from the bed and this was not the case. The couch and the bed were all in the same room, it was just a large room. There was no privacy. There is supposed to be. We stayed because it accommodated 5 people, however, this was very uncomfortable without the separating wall.. From the beginning we stepped in, the hotel and room smelled funny. I realized later that night, it was MOLD. I am allergic to mold! It was very difficult to sleep as I tossed and turned with this smell and my nose was clogged up. My 3 year old is also allergic and had a congested nose as well. The mold was already a bad experience, however, what was even worse was the bathroom. There were paint stains all over the wall and floor. The bathtub paint was chipping off on the exterior and interior. When you take a shower you can fill the chunks of paint missing on your feet. It was hard and embarrassing as this was a vacation for my parents who are 70 years old. How can this be worth $200? The sink had dirt all over it. Please take a look at all my photos and zoom in. It was not sanitary. Also, there was a USED bath soap in the bathtub!! And when we opened the safe, someone had left their shoes behind and we turned it into the front desk. This hotel is NOT doing their job checking the rooms, sanitizing and removing the mold. I will be reporting this review to Groupon and IHG. I would like to see what you can do about my stay and provide a refund. If you were staying with your family here, you would not have wanted to be here! It was dirty everywhere. This room needs to be considered out of order. The entire tub should be replaced, the tiles, the walls, it needs to be cleaned or replaced. You should not give a room that has just been set on and someone else old shoes!

The French guy at the front desk is very warm and handsome, ah, forgive my little nympho. As long as there is a parking space on the doorway, the hotel does not have a parking lot and you can pay the parking fee at the door. Next to it is a police station, which feels much safer in an instant.

The hotel itself is falling apart. They go Ultra Cheap on EVERYTHING, Breakfast (If that is what you can call it.) .. 1 small bottle of watered down shampoo for 2 people.. Rooms are NOT cleaned every day. We got there on Wednesday and left on Saturday. Our room was cleaned 1 time and no soap or anything is left when they clean it... We were on 3 rd floor you had to take elevator which stunk like Sweat socks literally down to bottom floor thru break room to ice machine, but you couldn't there was no plastic bag in the ice bucket, so unless you wanted to put your ice in a bucket someone else had handled you were SOL. Elevator does not run from midnight to 6am.. I could walk down outside stairs and make it to bottom before elevator made it down, It moves then stops then moves again.. The 2 kinds of cheap cereal they have, is in a thing where you turn handle and it will fall into a bowl, it is not replaced every day. I noticed lady picking up cereal thing and sticking it in closet like room and the same stuff was put out next morning..floors on outside of rooms are warped bad. There are no candy machines or soda machines..No inside stairs only some that have been nailed to side of hotel balconies..On walk ways outside rooms there are puddles of water because floor is warped so bad... Everything is cheaped out.. Rooms are fair other than dirt or stain on smoke detectors and ceiling,, but hotel is falling apart.. And elevator stinks bad, I worked for our city garbage division for 25 yrs. before retiring, so smells don't bother me that much but this elevator smelled like molded sweat socks.. Oh yes they did have yogurt for breakfast. I have attached a photo of breakfast.

For a Best Western, this would be 3 stars, but for a BW Plus, it's only a 2. I'm not sure what the specific qualifications are between a standard Best Western and their ”Plus” brand, but this particular hotel must have just squeaked by. The front staff was very nice, but both the lobby and rooms had a damp mildew smell. The furniture was sparse and uncomfortable, and the walls were very thin (even low conversational levels were audible from the next room). Pros: - Pet friendly - Nice staff - Had a bigger refrigerator - Average BW breakfast Cons: - Damp mildew smell - Minimal furniture - Thin walls. Could hear normal conversations and early morning alarms through the walls - Would not qualify this as a BW Plus
