Tarpon Shores Inn

Theresa is the best housekeeper ever! Hot tub was nice and the pool was beautiful. The sauna needs to be repaired. Rooms are dated but clean. It looked like renovations are already underway. Loved this hotel and will stay again.

Location was perfect, right next to bayou. Street closed for winter festival. Room was clean but run down. Shower was new. Rest of room needed a coat of paint. Linens and towels worn and thin. Bed comfortable. Lots of hot water. Felt safe in area. Didn't notice any illegal activities or shady characters. Other occupants seemed to be workers.

Positive: Location from beach. The house cleaning staff are the best Negative: Older hotel needs upgrades. Kudos to the front desk and TV guy tried to fix cable without success.

Clean rooms, super friendly staff, and good rates. Can’t ask for more than that. The pool was fun (and there’s a deep end which I loved!) and the hot tub was relaxing. We had a couple of requests which they accommodated quickly and efficiently. We stayed 3 nights, and had 2 rooms total. I didn’t take any photos but it was clean and average “motel” look. Not super updated, and the price was good due to that. I assume the newer a place is updated, the more expensive it will be!

Checked in after work on an evening it was 33 degrees. At 8:00 pm no heat even though the heat was running full blast blowing cold air for an hour, also no hot water. The manager promised a refund which hasn’t happened. Stay away from this dump, you get what you pay for. Manager refuses to give the owners name so I could report her rude attitude! Place is a dump drive the extra mile or two it will be worth the heat and hot water!
