Hi guys,
I happen to be staying in Marathon all this week and have discovered a 120v outlet right near the Holiday Inn Express (by the Tarpon Creek Marina behind the hotel). Of course it's only 3 mph charge rate but it's better than nothing and very convenient if you are staying here for an extended time. The hotel itself is quite new, I think it was opened in 2011. I often have to stay here as it's one of our company used hotels. I got talking to their maintenance guy and he seemed quite keen to get a 240v hookup installed at the hotel. I mentioned to him if they did that, they'd get a lot more EV users staying here. He also mentioned that Tesla came here and did a presentation for installing a Supercharger in their parking lot not long ago. It would be a perfect location IMO. I've mentioned it already to the hotel staff and maybe if we collectively let the hotel management know, they'll be more responsive?
I've added the location on Plugshare:
