Holiday Inn Express & Suites Port Aransas/Beach Area

Hotel is real nice, close to the beach, restaurants and more importantly, close to the red dragon pirate ship cruise. The hotel is very clean and well as the rooms and pool and its surrounding area. The staff is friendly particularly the lady who was working at the breakfast kitchen. Although our room was directly above the pool we never heard any noise. Breakfast was good and the area clean. I’d definitely stay here again.

I went with my parents on May 9th thru May 12 2024. The guy at the front desk took too long to check us in when we got there and was all around snotty & only giving us 1 roll of toilet paper when we ran completely out. People were screaming all day and night long while slamming doors, had their kids running through the halls, & the elevator started breaking not letting us off until we pressed the button again after they had just "fixed it, but the room we stayed in had beds that were harder than a brick and was clean. The breakfast was okay each morning not really worth it cause they don't have much, The pool & hot tub was clean, and it's close to the beach, shops, & restaurants, but has very limited parking, so be sure to get your spot.

Stayed for 4 days in February. Mostly good room setup, but a few items in minor disrepair-no deal breakers, more oddities. Dresser/refrigerator was detached from wall, so leaned forward about 5 degrees. Had to brace items in fridge. Bathroom faucet had little pressure, and closet was comically shallow. All that aside….room was clean, parking lot safe, fantastic breakfast and service, nice pool area, pleasant staff, and great location. Beach about 4/10 of a mile away, and a fun casual dining spot right across the street. Watch out for LOTS of golf carts. Not terribly busy during the week and picked up just a bit more on the weekend. Overall, would definitely stay here again.

Hands down this was such a great hotel experience! From the time we checked in to the time we checked out! Keep up the great work and we loved our Suite! We had a great view and they provide Dove products for all their hygiene and shower products!! You’ve got repeat customers!

Located a short walk from the beach, this is its best feature. We stayed here 8 nights, December 23-December 30. We were given a great room, 322, had a door between the bedroom and rest of room, two TVs, large counter with several cabinets, sink, microwave, Keurig and small refrigerator. We opted to have room serviced every day and found they did an excellent job. Room was kept very clean. Two beds were very comfortable. Towels and bedding very good. Fitness center had out of service treadmill for the entire week. Unheated pool available and laundry facilities. Breakfast had a good selection and changed everyday. Like they have Greek yogurt and cinnamon rolls. Missed the pancakes as it was broken the entire week. Kitchen staff was excellent. Everything was kept clean and filled. Did not have bananas for most of week. Front desk staff was also very attentive. Heater worked excellent the entire time. Was quiet on our floor. We did have complete power shut off one morning which was not able to be corrected until about 9 am when an electrician finally showed up. Too bad they don’t have emergency electricians as hazard when you only have a flashlight or cell phone to guide your movements in hotel. One very big disadvantage is we could not get an Uber to take us to airport. You can get one from Corpus Christi to property but not back. We had to take a taxi which was about $40 higher than Uber and his vehicle reeked of cigarettes and was filthy. We would definitely come back here if in the area.

We stayed for 3 sunny days in October. The room was very comfortable and spacious. The location is a short walk from a wonderful beach. We encountered a couple of maintenance issues but Melanie the manager produced some good solutions, and we thank her for the help.

It is almost 2 am and the only reason I am still here at this roach motel is because my kids are sleep and I do not want to upset them. Please for the money I spent to stay here find some where else to go!!! When we first arrive the elevator is out , due to the smile of the front desk person I still checked in. I loved the size of our room, normally I do an expectation but we went to the beach and then pool. When I returned to the room I noticed a few stains in the carpet and the bathroom oh the bathroom is nasty. Shower curtain is stained and looks like something is peeling off the wall of the tub. My toilet has not been cleaned it’s gross! Water pressure sucks!!!!!! On top of this I just found roaches!!!! I have paid almost 300 for me to be in a roach motel , I could have stayed at motel 6 for cheaper. I was going to eat breakfast in the morning it is a no!!!! As soon as my kids wake up we are leaving and never coming back to this location!! Also clean under the sofa bed!!!! Change the sheets!!!! Do not let the pool fool you , do not stay!

This property tics all the boxes for a perfect beach getaway. Easy walk to beach, shops and restaurants. It is so pristine inside and out that we thought it was brand new (it's not, but was renovated after a hurricane). Staff, including GM Melanie, was friendly, professional and very helpful. Layout of two-queen one-bedroom suite was perfect, with a heavy, sound-blocking door between bedroom and rest of the suite, large kitchenette with second sink and TVs in both living and sleeping areas. Very quiet except that the AC in the bedroom was a little loud when it cycled on, but that's pretty typical for hotel rooms. (That's the only negative I can think of, and it's a tiny one.) Can't wait to go back! Travel Tips:Virginia's has good atmosphere and food. One can often see dolphins and boats passing by. To drive on the beach, first purchase a pass ($12 for the calendar year) at about any convenience store.

DIRTY ROOM. I stayed at the holiday inn port aransas. It was going nice until I checked the sheets after sleeping on them the first night, and the sheets were dirty. They had not changed the sheets from the previous stay. Hairs and dark stains on the sheets. Then as housekeeping was changing the sheets, I noticed food and cockroaches under the tv console. So disgusting. After a few attempts to get a new room, I was offered a room next to the boiler room. Not once did the front office guy offer an apology. He said he would not give me a refund. I am repulsed at sleeping in dirty sheets, and being in a dirty room. This hotel has ruined their reputation with me.
