Tahitian Inn

It was ok

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.

Clean room

The room was clean, and quite. They have an on site breakfast - lunch restaurant. Good was good, plenty of seating.

Great location and great food

It was a nice clean experience for me and my partner, room was plenty spacious, the tv was big and not slow ,air conditioning was hella cold, but when set to heat mode it had this burning smell that went away after a few mins. Definitely recommend .

The re-modeling construction during our stay made for a few noisy moments and carefully planned routing to avoid closed off areas.

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.

Stop using Pine-Sol in the room so heavy

It was a nice stay every thing was clean and the hotel staff were polite

The property was overall a OK Property the bed felt like I was sleeping on rocks

Room was clean, parking quite a challenge due to closed areas for construction, restaurant good and good location

Onl

Very friendly staff. Clean room.
Meet with friends in town. Restaurant for breakfast was excellent

The property is older, but clean.
The noise is disturbing. Traffic workers after 5 pm you could hear the folks above.

I would have painted the interiors in light colors. It’s pretty drab brown.
Staff was GREAT!

Lady that was knocking on doors first thing was very rude and unaccomadating. She knew that I did not arrive to the property until almost midnight. I asked if I could have a late check in. She aggressively said “ um no, I will charge you $50 per hour for late check out. Even tho I asked for one at check in. The shower head was janky ay best. Bed wasn’t terrible but not great and pillows had the comfort of a towel wrapped in a roll. Rooms weee set at a warm level and took 2 hrs to even cool down. 3/10 all day.

Nice stay just wish the site said pool was closed instead of an email after booking

Very old and needs major remodeling.
