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.

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.

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.

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 It's an outdated, old motel with a lot of structural issues but overall it

Great for the price!

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.

Owners were super friendly and sweet. We had our boat so they put us at the far end so we had more room for parking. Its an older outdated place, but over all it was clean and the beds and pillows were cleand and comfortable.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!
