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.
Scene
Not the most exciting setting, but a good choice for family stays and business travel with some leisure opportunities thrown in
The Staybridge Suites has a rather lodge-like facade -- its exterior features attractive stonework interwoven with modern architectural features. The stonework carries over into the lobby area and great room where it is melded with dark wood and lounge seating fronting a fireplace with flat-screen TV. The breakfast area, which is connected to the great room, follows suit, where dark wood-paneled walls and bar-height seating establish a casual (though small) dining space.In nice weather, outdoor lounge areas adjacent to the pool provide ample space for enjoying some fresh air -- and the outdoor barbecue area is a hot spot for home-grilled meals.
Location
In a commercial district mid-way between downtown Corpus Christi and the beaches of Padre Island
Conveniently located in the urban sprawl occupying the space between downtown Corpus Christi and the beaches of Padre Island to the southwest of town, the Staybridge Suites’ location is good for those wanting to explore both sides of the spectrum and save a bit of money at the same time.Cultural attractions are relatively close by, though there’s nothing within walking distance save for a few chain restaurants.- 20-minute-drive to Corpus Christi International Airport
Rooms
Modern, comfortable, and spacious with fully equipped kitchens
Room layouts are efficient for the most part, with separate living room and bedroom areas in most rooms. The studio suites, however, lack partitions and share a TV with the living room.Because the property faces a parking lot, rooms lack inspiring views. But bathrooms are spacious, and the kitchens are fully equipped with a full-size refrigerator, stovetop, dishwasher, microwave, and basic cookware and tableware.The decor is standard for a chain hotel of this caliber -- classic-meets-modern hospitality-style furnishings in dark wood and few beyond-ordinary design touches. Be forewarned though: The walls are somewhat thin and so street and room-to-room noise can be an issue.- Fully equipped kitchens
