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.
