The above ratings do not reflect our experience. We were unablebto check in since our Am Airline flight out of MN was delayed and missed our connecting Dallas to Corpus Christi flight. We did not make it to Budget Inn and Suites Shoreline in Corpus Christi on 3/29/25 due to American Airline flght delay of 2.5 hours.

It functioned for what we needed.

Loved that there were multiple seating options. Room size was awesome. Loved toilets were ADA height. Older place but we'd stay there again.

Room I stayed in the fire alarm was gone just the wires hanging down. Room had a weird smell and hairdryer did not work. The pool was nice to have since it’s so close to the beach. We had some music playing not complaints from the office which was nice. We sat with family outside our room and heard some music and walked to the beach. For the most part area felt safe. For the price the overall stay wasn’t too bad.

Nice eco-friendly

The room was very clean, except for two stove burners, that may not work anymore. This is a very eco-friendly place! It was across the street from a beach, was clean, and had all that was needed.

PISS POOR MOTEL

The initial service to check-in was terrible. Looking thru a 12x12 window with the smell of curry flowing out was nauseating. There were only soap bars to shower with, no shampoo or conditioner. The desk staff wanted payment up front instead of the usual pay when you leave. I will never stay at that flea bag hotel again.

It was good enough for one night

Its convenient location was the main reason I chose it. It was clean and comfortable enough for the one night I was there. The room had a very stuffy smell that I was able to eliminate by keeping the door open for a while. It offered a few unexpected amenities like a coffee maker and refrigerator and microwave.

The property is in good location. After being in the room awhile I noticed a VERY large cobweb on and above the curtain. It was too late to ask them to clean it or move us SO i clean it myself. I would inspect the room Next time.
