Cleaning staff was pleasant. The rooms smelled like mold and did not smell nice. The shower curtains look as those they’re old and never get washed. The floors are not even, broken in plenty of places. Has bugs in the room. But if you’re looking for cheap, you get what you pay for here.

It's clean and roomy. Everything works, but I couldn't find the light switch for the kitchenette (maybe bulb was burned out) or the hi fan switch on the ac. However, it's not for staying in all the time. It's by the beach, so for a place sleep at night, it's petfect.

Our stay at the Catalina Motel was simple and convenient. The rooms weren’t the greatest, but you definitely get what you pay for. The location was perfect for the Beach to Bay race and made everything super easy. The owner was very nice and welcoming, which we appreciated. Overall, a good budget-friendly stay if you’re looking for something close to the action.

My husband and I booked this motel as a last minute spontaneous mini-trip to the bayfront of Corpus Christi. It looked like a good deal for a cute old school motel. It was okay, there were no bugs, no roaches and clean. The bed was comfortable (pillows not really but not bad either). The hot water worked great and the bathroom and tub were clean. It's an outdated, old motel with a lot of structural issues but overall it

The room was very hot, next time if I do decide to stay there, I will call ahead to have someone from their staff turn the AC on. Also, there was a bad odor smell in the room, we went to purchase Febreze to get rid of the smell. Lastly, our bathroom was not clean or maybe it was, but it did not meet our expectations. A little more effort on cleaning the rooms would be appreciated. I know it's hard to keep up and clean all rooms, so I completely understand just want to give my overall experience. Thank you!

Nice, quiet, and small property without noisy or rowdy guests. It was a perfect location near the beaches and downtown. It's a basic motel without the amenities I never use anyways. Perfect home base for a quiet, relaxing weekend trip to the beach. I will stay there again.

The Catalina is perfect if you are looking for a place to rest between heading to the beach. Beds are clean and comfortable. It needs updating but for the price I can easily overlook it. We had two rooms and one had an overwhelming smoke smell, the other was a bit more updated and better.

Its an older outdated place, but over all it was clean and the beds and pillows were cleand and comfortable. If your out an about with things planned and really just need a place to sleep a few hours and shower, this is the place! We will definitely comeback!

I would really like to speak to some one about my stay I have pictures. The room had water, restroom and a bed sleep but Nats spider and insects. A big went in my sons ear wile he was asleep. thankful when he got up my wife brushed it out his ear. Nasty mold or growth in shower curtain window. I don’t know if that shampoo was left behind or came with the room it says red roof in. I did not dare to use. We had no where to throw trash as all cans were full over filling

All I ever care about is a clean bed and cold room. This place had that, so for me it worked. I was there because my husband was having surgery, but if you want to play at the beach, it’s across the street. It is on Ocean Drive, so there is fishing, play areas, running paths, maybe even a summer concert series happening nearby. The woman who checked me in was sweet. We did run out of toilet paper, but got by. We did have two towels, two wash cloths and two hand towels. I was in room 30. There appears to be a water leak somewhere because the floor was wet. The floor had shoe prints on the tile and a cigarette butt behind the night stand. The shower was newer and tile around sink was too, but no hot water at sink. Clearly needs some TLC but for a good night sleep, it worked for me. Oh and the a/c makes a great amount of noise but I prefer that over silence. Would I stay again? You bet. I’m easy to please.

The motel didn't even ask for a copy of my ID which all places do...made it feel shady. They don't let you in the office. Just talk to you through the bars. Please don't visit this place.

What I didn't like this time was the TV went out the first night the person came to fix it then it went out after 10 minutes . Went back to say hey tv out again . They said they wouldn't fix it till next day so that whole night was boring without tv. Went to sleep early .they did come the next morning but it was to fix it but . . But I will come and stay here again. TV going out won't stop me coming back to this place .

I must say I had reservations on booking here when I saw the picture of the hotel itself. But the picture of the room and the reviews I saw made me go against my initial thoughts and I booked a room. Well let’s say I should’ve stuck with my initial thoughts. My room was nothing like pictured. I walked in to a room that was dark and extremely hot because they did not have the AC on during 100• temps. By dark I mean not inviting as the pictures suggest. Even with lights on and blinds open it did no justice. The paint was very old and covered in dust. The sink leaked from pipe when water was on. The toilet would not flush properly. The bedding was old and damaged. The only thing I would say was good about this place was the pillows and location. If it wasn’t for it being non refundable and my money being short I would’ve found somewhere else to go as soon as I opened the door. I’m assuming the other rooms were better than mine to see 7.0 reviews. There’s no way room #29 would get a 1.

Even with lights on and blinds open it did no justice. The paint was very old and covered in dust. The sink leaked from pipe when water was on. The toilet would not flush properly. The bedding was old and damaged. The only thing I would say was good about this place was the pillows and location. If it wasn’t for it being non refundable and my money being short I would’ve found somewhere else to go as soon as I opened the door. I’m assuming the other rooms were better than mine to see 7.0 reviews. There’s no way room #29 would get a 1.

Last minute booking. 1970's style motor inn. But surprisingly clean and NO SIGN OF PESTS!

Motel is old, reminds us of a 1960s property. Property badly in need of remodel. My wife refused to sleep there, we found another motel.

Motel was very run down. It had peeling drywall/paint, water damage that caused floor to sag, mold, and exposed electrical wires

This place was okay. I have had way worse in the past so this place wasn't too bad. The only thing I have to say is, we never got the password to the wifi so we did not get access to that. Then there was a big wolf spider in the bathtub, which of course made the wife jump. I had to kill it. The AC's could use major cleaning or a replacement. I work in a lot of AC units and windoe units. The AC units they have has a lot of mold in it which does make the air a bit toxic to breth in. Especially for the people who are allergic.

If you need a crash pad for the night, this place works just fine. Its a very old property so adjust your expectations accordingly. I stayed 6 nights and it got the job done.

Staff was nice. Place is older and needing attention, but OK for the money. Someone mentioned bugs, but I didn’t see any. Someone complained about tv and although there were issues with the remote, the tv worked fine.

The hotel is old, the door didnt close right, you could see outside. We tried to eat at the table and roaches came out. Property was unsafe, i was worried about my vehicle all night. People coming in and out all night. We felt very unsafe. Old and raunchy place, dont recommended staying there.

The room was extremely clean, and the garden outside was enchanting. The location was close to everything, and I felt safe and secure at the Catalina.

Highly disappointed. Pictures are not a good representation of this old, run down motel. One of my friends, that was also staying there, asked for another room; she was told the motel was booked but the other customers had not even checked in yet. The man at the front desk could have easily changed her room and given her room to somebody else but instead he was rude and very un-accommodating.

They were really nice, the room was real nice to stay in and not far from my job. Thank you for your Service

Older property. Friendly Check-in. Outdated, but very clean room. Only complaint, water in shower didn’t get hot, warm but not hot. Nothing nice or fancy about the ‘Motel’ but worked for a cheap night stay!

We arrived at the hotel to be told we could not check in because my dog s animal was not allowed when I specifically clicked for pet friendly we drove from Austin to corpus and ended up staying in our truck
