Fairfield Inn & Suites Corpus Christi Aransas Pass

Me and my husband had a great Christmas there with are kiddos. We love the people that work there all so very sweet. We will be going back really soon

Wonderful Stay. Clean, Comfortable beds and hot breakfast.

I can't rate this place as terrible or we would not have stayed the night. We arrived about 11:30 pm. 2 rooms booked. The parking lot had few cars. We went to 6 different rooms. The first had door lock issues. The subsequent rooms had awful mold smells and cleaning product scent. The odors included essence of tobacco smoke. The decor appears to be the original when the facility opened. Appearance is not a priority with the management. Generally, walls are soiled, draper fabric soiled, shredded or frayed, in the rooms and public areas we viewed. The pool was a fluorescent shade of green slim. Generally the breakfasts at Fairfield Inns are ok. this place was a bit lower on that scale. Someone higher up in Marriott should monitor the upkeep of their franchisees. I can not recommend this Fairfield Inn based on our experience.

Im not even sure where to start. Let’s start at check in. At check in it appeared someone was being trained which is fine, everyone starts somewhere. When Letty was finally able to wait on us, she asked for a form a payment and we explained that our room should have been covered. We explained that the room should have been covered by Aransas Pass police and she agreed they had made the reservation but said there was NOTHING she could do because there was no authorization on file. She insisted we give her a credit card until we were able to get this worked out with the organization, if we wanted to check in. She actually said i would have to call them to work it out. I walked out, called my contact at the police department who assured me the room was covered (I doubt she thought i could get ahold of anyone that quickly). Letty who was being less than helpful at first refused to speak with my contact at the police department, but relented and spoke with them on speaker. As Letty spoke with my contact she confirmed she had all the correct contact information (mind blown at this point because she said there was nothing she could do). The authorization was sent yet again to her email and we were able to finally get checked in. It’s hard to believe that when an organization blocks off rooms they are paying for, and one of their guests check in there is NOTHING the hotel can do when there is an issue at check in. There had to have been a contact person Letty could have called instead of saying there was NOTHING she could do. But the story doesn’t end there :-). We get our keys, go to our room only for the room keys not to work. So my husband went down stairs to get new keys. He came back up and guess what, the keys didn’t work yet again. So, I actually used the phone in the hallway to call the front desk. Letty came up at this point and tried our keys and agreed they weren’t working (like we were kidding or something…) She was able to open the door with her key and she told us to hang out in that room until she could figure out what was going on. She came back about 10mins later and said she had upgraded our room. Great, we could finally go relax after a long travel day. The sage continues… The next morning as we were leaving we stopped by the front desk to ask to have towels delivered to our room. The front desk agent who was not Letty or the trainee was very aggressive about us asking for towels. How long have you been here? When did you check in? When are you checking out? When we came back from the symposium later that afternoon, the trainee was sitting at the front desk, never said hi, never looked up, never acknowledged we even walked in the door. Yet again…what in the world is going on at this hotel. We stayed here last year for the same symposium and the front desk was so sweet and helpful. My husband who is actually Silver Lifetime Elite, has never encountered such service at a Marriott property.

This us an average Fairfield in terms of property age. The maintenance at this franchise property is lacking. The rolling table in our suite is missing the rollers so it cannot be moved and the desk chair doesn't fit under the desk. There are scrapes on the wall that need some patching and painting. The soap, shampoo and conditioner dispensers should not be directly under the shower head. The water temperature control allows water temperature to fluctuate and rotates 360 degrees so water shutoff is tricky. The breakfast plates were flimsly foam so 2 or 3 are required to hold any contents. Forget hot waffles, as they are not available. The outdoor pool needs cleaning to remove the visible dirt and stains. The 4th floor hallway lacks air conditioning and has an odor. Both elevators are hot inside and stink.

We went on a girls trip and had the best experience! Rooms were clean and the staff were super nice. We didn't use the fitness room because of course we don't work out, but the pool was clean. We will be back.

Ignoring its deceptive name (it's not in Corpus Christi), the Fairfield Inn is an average Fairfield. It's about 5-6 years old. Room was clean but maintenance not being done. Walls were stained, scratched, scuffed and otherwise damaged. Likewise, furniture was showing lots of wearing and tear. Bathroom was clean. Shower is a walk-in shower. Ignore the shower controls. Hot is cold and cold is hot. Didn't anyone test that out? Housekeeping is by request only. Internet was basic with no enhanced option. 24/7 gym. Daytime pool, but don't be deceived by the photos. The pool is very small. My only complaint is the location is a bit sketchy. Lots of truckers and people hanging out in the parking lot. Next door is an old motel that looks condemned and ready for demolition. There is also some low-income looking housing next to the parking lot. Unless you like McDonald's or Pizza Hut, there's basically no restaurants nearby. Everything is across the ferry in Port Aransas or back in Corpus Christi. For $150ish, it was pretty expensive for an average Fairfield. $110-$125 would be fair.
