Candlewood Suites Corpus Christi-Spid, an IHG Hotel

The staff was friendly and helpful. The ability to use the washers and dryers for free was wonderful and a surprise bonus! The property is currently under renovations which will be great once completed. There is a foul smell in some areas. The first room we were given had a terrible stench. I am not one to complain and attempted to make it work. I even opened the windows to air it out, but it did not help. There were stains on the carpet and the room in general seemed to be one of the ones that needed renovations badly along with the smell of the entire 2nd floor. The second room on the third floor was much better! The pool area was okay, but my family and I couldn't fully enjoy. This hotel seems to be a property that is housing many male contract workers. Our first day there, we took the kids down to enjoy the pool after all the traveling we had done in the car. There were men there staring at us the entire time. As a woman and mother, I did not feel comfortable at all. Later we realized the men would all gather there to hang out after work daily. We did not return to the pool area the rest of our time there. I would not return to this location again.

Safe parking lots

The girl upfront gave us cards that would not open the door had to walk back again to get a new set of cards still had trouble getting the door to open. Girl was nice just when you’re traveling and are so tired all you want to do is get to your room and rest not have to walk back and fourth to the front desk from the third floor.

Long story short, the general manager Raymond Villarreal is a discriminating, narcissists, passive aggressive prick!!!! He had a tantrum over my vehicle parked in front of the building. Mind you it was ON, my husband and kids were inside the truck waiting for our room to get our luggage down. He refused to check us in until it was parked in the parking lot. He made me wait 2 hours extra with the excuse “Rooms weren’t ready.” When Diamond (front desk) advised me it would no more than 20 minutes. Building is very old, stains on carpet and sofas. Horrible smell! Tubs have never been scrubbed. Overpriced $175 plus 75 deposit. At the end manager kicked me out when I said “your job is to solve the problem not make it bigger!”

Checked to Pay at Location but they charged my card without my approval. Attempted to leave/ checkout at 9am, desk refused to give receipts, daughter had to pay a deposit and had to return after noon to receive the deposit,,,sure am glad we weren't traveling and attempting to leave the property at 8am.. That Was Ridiculous.. Daughter had to call police as workers daughter was in room between the 2 rooms we had and the girl had a bunch of her friends over all night causing a ruckus and was loud and very inconsiderate of anyone else and we had 5 kids... Caution when staying at this location...

Not enough parking,, but overall a very good stay

Nice quiet place , they always accommodate a close room to the elevator when I request it due to my disability . When traveling from Houston Tx we will continue booking at this hotel .
