Overview
by Phil Corless
The oversized rooms of the Hawthorn Suites are perfect for a large family of six. With two queen beds, a full sleeper sofa, and space for a crib or rollaway, parents and kids will have plenty of elbow room. The suites will also include a fully equipped kitchen, with large refrigerator, stovetop, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, and loads of counter and cabinet space. The hotel’s free breakfast includes cooked-to-order omelets, sausage, eggs, cereal, pastries, fruit, and more. Other amenities include a fitness center, free Wi-Fi, and laundry service. There is no pool, but you won’t need it with both the beach and a water park so close to the hotel
Hawthorn Suites is located on Padre Island, about 30 minutes from the Corpus Christi Airport. The hotel is across the street from the beach, where you can walk for miles or simply spread out your towel on the sand to relax. There are plenty of shops and restaurants on the island about a five-minute drive away. Plan on spending at least part of a day at the new Schlitterbahn Water Park, which is 2 miles from your hotel. Kids will love the water slides, wave pools, and lazy river. The Padre Island National Seashore, which protects 70 miles of beaches, dunes, and coastal prairies, is also close by. Heading off the island and back into Corpus Christi, you’re only 30 minutes from the popular North Beach area and its museums, galleries, and aquarium. With its fun island location, clean and comfortable rooms, and budget prices, the Hawthorn Suites is a good choice for your family vacation on the Texas coast.

The location is terrific to be just steps away from the beach. The room was clean and quaint with a comfortable bed. It was nice to have a full kitchen although we really only used the fridge for such a short stay. The only negatives about this property is there is no swimming pool and the breakfast was a bit scant (only two types of cereal, no unflavored oatmeal, no bread) and they did not have a tea selection. It would be fine if you enjoy waffles and doughnuts. A little pricey for the quality, but location made it worth the price.
