While it's not a fancy place, it is a nice spot for what we needed. It was easy access to the beach and allowed for us to go back and forth to our room with our child who has medical needs. We would stay here again for the convenience.

Overall the place was decent, right by the beach and views of the USS Lexington Museum. Our stay was stay able, although my wife and I are used to higher rated hotels, you can’t beat the price for staying on the beach here in Corpus.

The Sea Shell Inn is an older motel that is right on the beach. The hotel itself is a bit dated but the rooms are secure, clean and functional, the linens are fresh and the beds are comfy! What else do you need?
The young man at the front desk was super friendly and helpful and replaced a lost key with a smile!
I will definitely be staying here again!
Thank you from the family in #228!
