Everything was great except we were not inform that the pool was being renovated which by the looks of your ad was why it looked like a fun place to stay. Was not informed until a couple days before check in. Should have had a discount for that.

The property was central to everything I needed to do and to dining. The people in the room next to us, however, were incessantly noisy. A night manager finally quieted them down.

I have stayed in this hotel three times in the last 30 years. In Florida, most of us fumigate our homes for termites every decade or so, and must vacate them for several days. Each time, me and my pets decamp to the Tahitian Inn. This will be the last time. It used to be a lovely local boutique hotel. Simple but comfortable, clean, friendly, safe. It is now a poor facsimile of a fleabag motel. What reports to be a suite is actually a room with a decrepit whicker chair, desk and hard chair, a decent microwave and small fridge. But there is no couch, no separate room—and the mattress feels like little more than a hammock. The bed linens were lovely. However, the towels were threadbare, and the shower curtain barely touched the edge of the bathtub so that every drop of shower water ended up on the bathroom floor. There is no ice machine anywhere in the main building.But one is by the motel-like outside rooms which are populated by transient residents. The A/C unit in my room was very loud and while cool, the room was more humid than outside. Everything felt slightly damp, including my hair and my dog. They claim they are renovating. I saw no work happening, although much of the property is cordoned off. All but two staff members seemed slightly annoyed at all times. The restaurant in the hotel is a well-known breakfast spot. But it closes at 2 PM. The desk cannot seem to provide anything, not utensils, a napkin, an extra trash bag. Which seems strangely unhelpful.

Dated, scratch sheets, several exterior balcony lights burnt out, no parking lot lights, I did the non- refundable booking and later was informed the pool is closed. I’ve stayed here before but it has become HORRIBLE!!! The 6 pillows stunk so bad, I used a towel folded up for a pillow. The AC unit was loud, my room backed up to the generator room - I think- so loud!

I booked for three nights only stayed one! When I checked in the first room it had a strong odor of funk and some kind of cleaning chemical mixed They gave me a second room, it was not much better. Air conditioner was louder than a construction site generator very outdated. Bathroom toilet barely flushed. Had to get the front desk to get the TV to work then after it got shut off, the volume did not work. the swimming pool was closed. When I got breakfast in the restaurant in the morning, which was the highlight of the stay, I spoke with a gentleman who lived in the neighborhood for many years, He told me the hotel had been undergoing construction for several years now, it does not look like they’ve made much progress.Half the hotel was fenced off. Then there were the young skanky women that were paying visits to some of the rooms on the first floor all evening oh and there was a homeless guy that was sleeping on the sidewalk. There’s much more that could be said, but I think that’s enough! Other than that, the staff at the front desk was friendly and allowed me to get a refund for the two additional nights I planned on staying. There are plenty of restaurants and stores nearby and it is not far from the airport. I would not recommend bringing children or anyone you care about.
