Omni Corpus Christi Hotel Marina Tower, Corpus Christi, Texas

Texas enjoys Omni Hotels so much that Corpus Christi actually has two hotels by the same chain. There is the Omni Bayfront Hotel and the Omni Corpus Christi Hotel Marina Tower. The Marina Tower location is at 707 North Shoreline Boulevard. This second location is shorter than the Bayfront hotel.

It is an earlier creation of Omni giving it a gray brick and steel look. However, it is contemporary in decor both inside and out. It is a symmetrical construction with the two towers being the same, and a taller tower in the middle. It is just fifteen minutes from the local airport for business guests and regular guests to easily access the hotel. Like the other Omni hotel this one is on the bay front allowing guests views of the harbor and docks.

Renovations have been ongoing in 2009 to provide a new lobby for guests. The new lobby will still have the contemporary decor, but look even more amazing. There are 346 guest rooms and suites. The guest rooms are just as inviting as the rest of the hotel. Plush beds and cherry wood furniture await visitors. Ornate artwork helps make the rooms more comfortable and inviting. Each room has granite countertops, new furniture, fine white linens, and a coastal appearance. Each room has a work desk, chairs, television, and most hotel amenities. There are either two beds or a single king in each room or suite. The suites have a separate room from the living area to provide more comfort.

Kids can eat free with the leisure rate and there is a complimentary shuttle from the airport. A concierge is on hand to help make plans. Guests can enjoy the free wireless internet with their room or around the hotel. There is an indoor and outdoor heated swimming pool at the Omni. The swimming pools are located on the roof over the lobby area. The outdoor pool has a wide expanse of sand and blue flooring with plenty of beach chairs to relax. The pool is set in the center of the hotel roof. A Whirlpool is on site, as is a sauna. Lifecycles, Stairmasters, universal weights, and Get Fit Kits are available for guests to use. A locker room and changing area near the fitness center is convenient for guests. A full service salon and massage therapists are also on hand.

Omni Hotel Marina Tower has the Coastline Cafe Restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with American cuisine such as steak and seafood. They are open 6:30am to 10pm. The attire is casual at this restaurant. Morsel's is a breakfast and afternoon local for coffee, cappuccino, bagels, muffins, and nosh. They open 7am to 9pm on a daily basis. Guest room dining is available for those who wish to eat in their rooms. A poolside service from 10:30am to 4:30pm Tuesday through Saturday is convenient for children and adults who wish to remain at the pool all day.
