The was room was clean. The bed sunk in the middle (missing middle bed frame leg) underneath. Both lamps did not work. Burned out bathroom light. Couldn’t watch tv in bed as footboard covered up most of the tv. The little patio was nice, but the chairs were rusty and broken. Pool being redone and no tiki bar.

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 Key Issues: * Misleading Marketing: The photos are clearly outdated or heavily edited.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 * Room Condition: The bathroom was incredibly outdated.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.

To be fair, it is onvient to fast food and Trader Joes. However, the place looks nothing like the pictures. Half the rooms are blocked off with chain link fence for what looks like construction but there were no workers or equipment present. The pool was half way thru what appears the be a relining but no workers or equipment anywhere to be seen here either. The room we received was straight out of the 70's complete with all the wear and tear on every piece of furniture to prove it. Leaking shower with chipped/cracked tiles and he toilet seat had most of the finish sanded off on all edges to confirm the advanced age of this facility. If you're a horror movie fan, this hotel is straight out of central casting .

Disliked: Amenities
The state of the room was grossly misrepresented in the photos.. definitely felt more like a motel. Seemed dingy and run down. Room smelled like mildew.. the bed was hard and the sheets were very thin. The advertised amenities were lacking. The plus side was the convenience of location and Pach’s Place restaurant, but there are dozens of hotels in the area and, given the opportunity, I would not choose to book here again.
Most amenities were out of service
Thin sheets
Dirty fixtures
Someone’s hair left in the bathroom

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.
