The Staybridge Suites Corpus Christi caters to families and business travelers on extended stay with its spacious, clean rooms and full kitchens. Its central location in a commercial district puts guests midway between downtown Corpus Christi’s cultural attractions and the beaches to the southwest. The surroundings aren’t the most glamorous, and you’ll need a car to get most everywhere -- but there are some perks to staying here, including plenty of dining and shopping options nearby.

The Omni Corpus Christi Bayfront Tower’s 475 updated rooms feature tasteful, modern decor and comfortable beds. However, the balconies, with wonderful views of the city and sea, inexplicably lack patio furniture. Well-located near the Corpus Christi Marina, the Bayfront Tower offers easy access to great dining and cultural attractions, and the harbor. Decent amenities such as a small indoor/outdoor pool, fitness center, and an outstanding rooftop restaurant are also draws.

Best Western on the Island is a budget motel-style property overlooking Corpus Christi Bay. The hotel is off South Padre Island Drive, which leads to downtown Corpus Christi. The area feels a little quiet and spaced out, but there are affordable food options nearby. The rooms are fairly large and clean, with flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and microwaves. While freebies -- such as breakfast, Wi-Fi, and parking -- are plentiful, amenities -- like a gym and full restaurant -- are not. Families, however, appreciate the outdoor pool.

The 368-room Emerald Beach, right off Corpus Christi Bay and near downtown, is a conveniently located hotel for vacationers on a budget. The facilities are not pristine -- decor throughout is a bit shabby -- and some guests have complained about a lack of overall cleanliness. Renovated Cabana units are a bit nicer, with updated furnishings. On the plus side, the hotel has a restaurant and two bars, free Wi-Fi, and a large indoor pool with rec games and a children’s play place.

The Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Corpus Christi is a solid value hotel with clean, comfortable, modern rooms and nice freebies (such as Wi-Fi and breakfast). Located in a commercial district, it sits midway between downtown Corpus Christi’s cultural attractions and the beaches to the south of town. The surroundings aren’t the sexiest, and you'll need a car to get most everywhere, but it’s a perfectly good place to stay to explore the area and save a bit of money in the process.

The draw to this three-pearl Radisson Hotel is undoubtedly the location, as it sits right on a lovely stretch of white-sand beach. It's also close to town, with a city trolley and bus stop right in the parking lot. Although the 145 rooms have serene, contemporary decor, as well as microwaves, mini-fridges, and flat-screen TVs, many guests have reported maintenance issues and the presence of mold and foul smells. Still, an oven-view outdoor pool with adjacent hot tub, restaurant serving decent food, and spacious gym are certainly pros. However, breakfast will set you back for the continental fare it is. It's worth considering the nearby Holiday Inn, which has a slightly more scenic beachfront location on North Padre Island.

Hawthorn Suites Corpus Christi is a solid value hotel with highlights such as an attractive outdoor pool and a free hot-and-cold breakfast buffet. Located in a commercial district, it sits midway between downtown Corpus Christi’s cultural attractions and the beaches to the south of town. The surroundings aren't the sexiest, but it's a convenient spot for exploring the area and saving some cash in the process. Travelers may consider comparing rates with the nearby Holiday Inn Express, however, as its rooms are more attractive and have large flat-screen TVs. The Hawthorn's rooms come equipped with wet bars and microwaves, but the decor is tired.

Things at this low-end budget property are finally starting to look up. The Travel Channel program Hotel Impossible featured the hotel in 2012, and gave the hotel's entrance area and cafe a much needed facelift -- including upgraded signage, landscaping additions, and de-cluttering of the cafe's windows (formerly covered in Post-It notes). Rooms are all very spacious, making it well-suited for families, and the aging bathrooms are getting modernized. The Astroturf-covered pool area is especially atrocious, however, and shows the dire state the property was in before being purchased. The renovations should hopefully bring more improvements.

This Best Western is a decent value for a central location across from the marina in downtown Corpus Christi, with a bar that has a nice view of the water. Other than the view from the bar and some of the guest rooms and a free breakfast, the pet-friendly, mid-range property is a bit tired-looking and stuck in the ‘70s, though it’s been undergoing some renovations. Some may be put off by the postage stamp-size pillows in the guest rooms. Travelers looking for something a little more modern might want to check out the nearby Omni, which has slightly higher rates.
