It's a great older hotel but in need of restoration. We were only informed that pool was closed a couple days before arrival when it would have been hard to change plans. It was great for location but could have been cleaner. Beds were clean and comfortable. Floors not as much. Nearby restaurant was good.
The restaurant had great food. The staff at the hotel were amazing however the pictures on the website don't match the appearance of the rooms. There should have been a notice that the hotel was under renovations and the pool was not available. The rental car that we had was damaged during our stay.

Staff was great, parking was hard, room was outdated, very few lights, bed had huge footboard that made it impossible to see the tv, bathtub had jacuzzi jets which was nice but didn't look clean enough to relax in. Very nice that there is a separate restaurant attached to the hotel with pretty good food! Only stayed one night - it wasn’t bad (bed was comfortable, sheets were clean) but it wasn’t the best either.
Didn’t get what I paid for, I got a superior king but didn’t get that room upon arrival, when I asked about it, she said “all rooms are the same price anyways”. Knowing I paid more that room. The halls and rooms smells bad. Everything is closed. They told me it’s a no smoking property. But yet everyone is smoking outside of main entrance. A lot of Empty cans and shooters in parking lot. They had no towels, I asked for an extra and they said “we have to check what we have” For the price I expected a lot more. The lady in the mornings was pretty rude.
Misleading Photos – Major Maintenance and Hygiene Issues
I am writing this review to warn others that this hotel looks nothing like the professional photos advertised online. I chose this property specifically for the pool and the updated appearance in the pictures, but the reality was a complete letdown.
Key Issues:
* Misleading Marketing: The photos are clearly outdated or heavily edited. The property is in a state of significant deterioration.
* Hygiene: This was the most upsetting part. I found a fingernail in my bedsheets, and the stairs leading to the rooms had a persistent, unpleasant odor.
* Room Condition: The bathroom was incredibly outdated. Even worse, the plumbing was so loud that the shower made a disruptive noise whenever someone in the neighboring room used theirs. The ceiling paint was also cracking and peeling.
* Accessibility: Only the main building has an elevator. I was assigned a room on the second floor of a side building and had to haul my heavy suitcases up the stairs myself.
* The Pool: A major reason for my booking was the pool, but it looked like it hadn't been filled or maintained in a very long time. It was unusable and eyesore.
Verdict: The management needs to be honest and update their photos to reflect the current state of the hotel. I feel completely misled and would not recommend staying here until a full renovation and deep cleaning take place.
The lady at the front desk was very friendly and welcoming! I was a little upset that the pool was closed though! Nice area, close to a lot of things and the airport.

This is a terrible hotel, rooms and hotel are run down. Pool is under renovation. Confusing pulling in because they have a different name at entrances. Did not stay and they refused to refund. I do not recommend this hotel. Pictures do not represent the conditions of this hotel.

Decent for price but has ants I didn’t even have food in the room
I have stayed in many places, some good, some not so good but this was the worst. The wallpaper by the air/heat conditioner was peeling off where it had leaked; even if it had worked (which it didn't) I would have been afraid to use it so we had no heat the first night and there were no blankets. When I went to the desk I was told they didn't have blankets, and was given a comforter and a space heater that didn't help.The shower curtain rod was bent, there were knobs missing from the drawers, the floors were sticky and dirty, the sink had rust stains, the tile in the bathroom was broken and terribly repaired, and the last night I had to call my hsband to come early as the people in the next room were yellig so loud as they were drinking and fighting it was frightening. We live in south Tampa and were having our house tented and thought that the Tahitian Inn was still a nice place. It was quite a surprise to learn otherwise. I can't believe we actually paid money to stay there. I realize they are undergoing renovations but this room should never have been used for guests.

Very outdated room. It was clean and the bed was comfortable. They have a great cafe.
Post a Post an actual review I just erased it what you just did see the baby were what we originally booked. The pool was supposedly “under construction” since June but it was just a cesspool. We asked for a refund so that we could stay elsewhere but were denied. Will never stay again. Stay away!

The shower fixture is upside-down. The cold indicator is on the hot side. Other than that the room was good. I'd definitely stay here again.
