Misleading...
The Rooms were nicely sized and pretty clean for what you pay for. The air conditioner worked well, but it will keep you up all night with the noise it makes. The parking is difficult due to the layout. The front desk is never open. Tiny window in the drive thru to fill out everything and try to get checked in or out. Check in process is not handled through Hotels.com you will have to still fill out everything by hand. No WiFi service, or no Internet connection available. The pool was not clean and was unusable. And the hairdryer didn't work.

Hotel is old but well-maintained and clean. Some things like the towels and comforters are showing their age, but everything was VERY clean. Great price for the location and nice to be able to support a local business. Came for birdwatching and then the eclipse. Great location for bird watching. I would definitely stay here again.

BED BUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and a good location
The second I stepped into the room I felt a heaviness in the air. There was a funky smell and the sheets had cigarette burn holes. The first night I didn't really notice it because I came home so late and only slept for 5 hrs. However, on the second night I woke up feeling my entire body burning. I walked to the mirror and saw over 20 red bumps all over my body. I had also noticed my nostrils plugging up (I'm allergic to bed bugs). I'm still itching to this day. (It's been a full week since). Don't do it!

practical on the beach!
We were looking for something that could fit our large family and this was it, 3 queens in the room! And we were right across the street from the beach and a park, we just crossed the street and we were walking on the beach! The rooms were not fancy but good enough since we weren't going to be in much.The room had a fridge and microwave which was also something I wanted. My only complaint would be, that the lobby wasn't big enough for anyone to eat and had no tables or chairs and the breakfast (cereal & milk, some pastries & juice, and coffee) was kinda sad. But without a real lobby I guess there's not much else they could serve. But it was one meal I didn't have to buy. So, for the money, it was worth it.

The Budget Inn in Corpus Christi, Texas
Not a bad place to stay for the price. AC worked good. Bed very comfortable. I think the parking space for our room was occupied our entire stay by the owners or employees of the motel. We had to park elsewhere. Only one front desk clerk to help arriving guest, he was on phone forever while guests were made to wait.

Disappointed
The hotel clerk was very nice. When we got to the room it looked cleaned until I went into the bathroom there was hair all over the toliet and floor like it had not been swept or cleaned. Then when I took off my shoes and had my socks on and walked around saw that my socks were dirty with dirt I realized that the carpet had not been vaccumed. Other than that it was alright, since it was too late to get another hotel.

Don't set your expectations too high...
We had the best room in the place, I think, with a second floor view of Corpus Christi Bay. The room had a refrigerator and microwave, and we were able to walk to dinner down the beachfront. Great room, great location! That's the good news. The paint job was haphazard, with uneven borders that left us wondering which was new and which was old - and whether they had a plan. There was a rooftop area that looked like it might have been intended for the guests; enjoyment, but without chairs or other furniture. The next morning, we went downstairs to check out breakfast. The coffee was stone cold, the "hot" water was tepid. We didn't try the OJ or apple juice. There was cereal (Froot Loops and corn flakes) and chopped up cinnamon rolls. That was it. We left to find a REAL breakfast.

The hotel was nice, it was convenient to where we were going in Corpus. Its not a 4 star hotel, but its a nice hotel if your on a budget or if your like us being spontaneous and need a place to stay.

Hotel OK But. . .
Budget Inn Hotel was OK for the price, but for $10 more I could have stayed somewhere else. Cleaniness was not a problem; hotel is well worn. We got a 2nd floor and had to climb stairs due to no elevator. Breakfast was self serve: coffee, pastry, cold cereal. Hotel location was fantastic.
