My friends have stayed in the Hyatt right by Century 16 on SPID just before the Nile Exit. Also my cousins stayed in the Hilton Garden Suites in that same area. Don't know the price there but they liked it. _________________ Like Corpusfishing.com on Facebook! |

No nothing under 100.00 in a good area. I think the best located hotel is the north padre Holiday Inn, it has a tiki bar on the beach to so you feel like ur in an exotic place kinda  _________________ But you ain't got no legs Lt. Dan, I know that |

| Safe is really not a big worry. But before you make this mistake and share with everyone later, DO NOT leave any fishing equipment in your vehicle even if you think it is secure. We've heard many stories of stolen yeti's locked on the vehicle, rods and tackle taken from just outside the hotel room, etc. Take all your gear inside. Hell I'd drag a kayak through the lobby to make sure it was safe and secure in my room. Better safe then sorry. |

Yes make sure it is the Holiday Inn on North Padre not the one downtown.
Nothing against the one downtown it's just not on the Gulf. _________________ Like Corpusfishing.com on Facebook! |

| I can't help you much with C.C., but in Port Aransas I rented at the Island Hotel (361) 749-8200 many times over the 15 years I had a boat stored across the highway, and never had a problem. When it was first constructed it had carpet in all of the rooms, but they have replaced it all with tile or hardwood for obvious reasons. Their rates are currently advertised at 60.00, and will generally remain until Labor Day weekend, then rates will escalate for the summer. Port A is my favorite place to play, and it's great for the family, as well. |

I would suggest Motel 6 off SPID before you get into Flour Bluff. I have always stayed there when I came into town and never had a problem.
It's a 6.5 out of 10...but they always have good prices especially if you book ahead of time.
I live here now so it's all good for me...yes sir.... _________________ (( Living the life I was born to live.....

No do not stay at the Motel 6 of SPID, I tried to save money once and could only take one night there due to the worst bed ever and the all night meth crowd surrounding you. Me and wife checked out early bc we were actually scared. _________________ But you ain't got no legs Lt. Dan, I know that |

This is all subjective! LOL Depends if Mama is coming. I'd stay at Monterrey Motel if it was just me wanting to fish P.I.N.S.  _________________ Like Corpusfishing.com on Facebook! |

Never stayed at one in CC, but have stayed at a few others all over, and they DO have the worst beds and the noisiest clientel. Never again...... You get what you pay for!  _________________ Dave
