Fairfield Inn & Suites Corpus Christi Central

Nice Marriott stay. This hotel is about 3 years old. Very clean and feels updated, especially compared to all the run down Marriott hotels by Blanche Moore area. Staff was lovely ana most accommodating. My room was spacious and the air conditioner was nice and cold. The parking lot was well-lot and it felt very safe. My only issue was the side door by the pool was not working well. The keycard entry worked, but the door often would not open and I then had to divert to the main entrance. Not a huge thing, but if I was coming from the pool after swimming, this would be inconvenient. Housekeeping was great here also. I will be back.

There are lots of little things that I was willing to overlook at this hotel. We walked in the lobby to and empty desk and awkwardly approached. Looked around for a second. Then the front desk person came out of the room and was very pleasant and sent us to our room with one key. Most hotels give us 2. We got on the elevator and stood in the elevator looking at each other in horror at the sounds it made. No biggie. We got to our room and the door was cracked open. I made my wife wait while I checked the room for anyone that may be in there. Went back to close the door and realized I had to force the door shut. Which was annoying during a 4 day stay. The mirrors and windows were clean… except for the tops. I guess the house keeper was short…everything above 5 ft was still dirty. No biggie. Every surface above 4 ft in the room was dusty, which is gross. There were questionable stains in several spots on the carpet. The ledge under the window and around the AC unit was loose and was basically leaning against the wall. Safety issue! All issues I was willing to overlook. Bed was not comfy. It wasn’t horrible but not great. The ding from the elevator was extremely loud all night long. Breakfast was very underwhelming after seeing the pictures of breakfast online. All of this was fine until day 3 we followed the instructions in the room and went to the front desk to fill out a housekeeping request to have our room refreshed and our towels changed. We filled it out and put it in the basket. The lady up front that was taking a complaint from another person about footprints on their toilet. We dropped of the slip and the lady yelled past the other gentleman to us asking if we were checking out. We said “no we are just filling out a housekeeping request” she seemed very irritated and asked how long we have been there. We said it was our third day. She said you have to wait until the fourth day. We said that’s not what the paper in the room says. And she said I am sorry. So my wife said “well can we get some new towels?”(they only gave us 2) she said those requests need to be made early so the housekeepers can get it ready. We looked at our phones and said it’s not even 9 yet. She made a shooing motion and said I’ll take care of it in a very rude tone. We left very upset. I have never been talked to that way at any hotel or motel ever. In the hospitality industry you never talk to a customer in that way. EVER. We went to the beach and came back at 2pm still no towels no refresh. I found the housekeeper and she was very pleasant and gave me 2new towels. We told her don’t worry about the refresh. Summary: this place is using Covid as an excuse to not clean which is counter productive to preventing Covid. It is not a large hotel more accountability is needed with housekeeping and maintenance. Any lady that speaks to a guest the way we were spoken to should be fired. If you have Covid protocols follow them all not just the convenient ones. I would not recomme

As I entered into the hotel it immediately smells old, stale, and dusty like an attic. When I entered my room it seemed nice and clean. I looked into the bathroom and there was a used bar of soap still in the shower. After that I started to look around even more. Stains inside the toilet, shower glass has residue, hair on the bathroom floor, rust spots everywhere, stain caulking dirty walls. There is masking tape all over the AC in the room. The AC vent filters were filthy. To top it all off I found a bug of some type on the side of the head board. I captured the bug and brought it to the front desk and he just laughed as if it was normal. As a former hotel GM and Cleaning business owner/operator I can tell you that this place is an awful property. From construction to maintenance to cleaning this hotel has never seen nor will see good days. Please see photos!

This is a small but nice facility. Clean rooms and excellent breakfast services. I would caution the new staff is inexperience and tend to overbook available rooms. Despite this being a nice facility, we will avoid booking rooms there for the foreseeable future.

Staff was ok. This is an older hotel with older furniture. The desk chair would not stay up. Room lighting was dim. Reasonably quiet. Good parking, food and fuel nearby. Free lobby coffee and bkfast. Hurricanes and tropical storms have taken their toll on this hotel over the years. Expect around $125 per day including tax. Would I stay here again? No. Fairfield used to be my fav hotel but they seem to have gone down in quality over the years, nationwide.
