If you do anything before booking your stay at Willow Bay, let it be reading this review. The pictures are DECEIVING. When we arrived, the front desk was not welcoming. What appeared to be the maintenance man, was over welcoming in a weird way. When we entered the unit, we were in disbelief. There was sand throughout the floors, the windows were cloudy, the view from the balcony on the 2nd floor was railing and a dirty hot tub. The fixtures in the bathroom were either missing or rusted. The kitchen sink disposal didn’t work and was backed up. The smell was HORRENDOUS. We didn’t receive any new towels during the stay and ZERO house keeping. The unit kept cool except in the bedroom. Despite keeping the door open 24/7 for the air to circulate, we slept with the blankets off. The door to the balcony was rusted and required force to shut it, lock it, and open it. You had to turn the knob just to lock it. We left earlier than our check out date because of how dirty we felt. We couldn’t wait to come home to shower with actual water pressure and cleanliness. The refrigerator had visibly not been cleaned out in who knows how long. You could hear the doors slamming shut throughout all of the units. This place is ran down and needs to be shut down. I’m disappointed in myself for paying to help keep this “resort” in business.

The hotel looks nothing like it does online, it’s run down. The window was cracked in the living room area. One of the rooms in our suite was missing the television and our kitchen didn’t come with any cooking utensils. When we brought up the missing television and cooking utensils we were told it’s nothing they could do because they didn’t have any other televisions and wouldn’t offer any other accommodations. The pots and pans they tried to give us were rusted very badly. Customer service was not the worst but not good either. One of the staff members dropped my grandmother’s things down the stairs. Don’t be fooled into booking, it’s nothing like the site and the price is ridiculous for how bad it is. The manager wouldn’t even come out the office to speak with us about this concerns, instead relayed messages through the receptionist. Save your money.

We have rated our experience with three stars. While the location is oceanfront, we found that the view of the ocean was obstructed by tall trees for guests on the fourth floor and higher. We also experienced issues with low water pressure and found the floors to be unclean. The furniture had noticeable stains, and the beds were uncomfortably firm.

Regarding electrical outlets, we had difficulty finding functional ones to charge our phones; only two outlets in the entire hotel seemed to be working, requiring us to charge our devices in the bathrooms and kitchen area. Additionally, there was no readily available ice, necessitating a purchase from a store.

The air circulation in the rooms was poor, to the extent that we had to sleep with the bedroom door open to draw air from the living room. We had a one-bedroom unit with bunk beds and a pull-out sofa. The bunk beds were situated in a very confined space, akin to a closet, with barely enough room to move. Consequently, our children chose not to sleep in the bunk beds and instead all slept on the pull-out sofa.

I was very disappointed with this property. The unit had a strong moldy smell and the floor felt damp. The balcony chairs were heavily rusted, and the balcony door handle was also very rusty. I even had to ask for air freshener because of the unpleasant odor. The price was extremely high for a 3-night stay, and the condition of the property did not match what I expected. Overall, it was not worth the cost, and I would not stay here again.

I don’t understand how this place is getting good ratings.

PRO’S: no bed bugs, only a couple roaches, right on the beach, not extravagantly priced, and they let me check in a hour early.

CON’S: DIRTY, misleading photo’s, not maintained, stuffy, and safety concerns.

The room was dirty. Like hair and hairband in the shower drain, used soap in the soap holder, mold on the door, brown sticky stuff on the tables, stains on the couch, sticky/sandy floors dirty. I had to clean everything myself.

The storage closet in our particular unit had an open panel leading into the wall of the resort that humans could fit through. I did my best to block that door our whole stay. You’re given a code to get in the building but the door is left propped open so anyone can come in.

The microwave was missing in our unit.
Some of the outlets didn’t work. You can hear the people in the next room breathing. The bedroom has no air circulation at all and it’s hot - it doesn’t help that you aren’t allowed to set the air below 72 degrees.

On the balcony, people flick their cigarettes and trash down onto the awning.

The pool is tiny and shaded almost all day long. There are wasp nests in some of the outdoor furniture. The jacuzzi was green and closed down.

The front desk was unsure and somewhat dismissive when I asked them anything.

The property definitely looks better online. It is a small property in the middle of 2 bigger hotels. The hot tub was empty & the pool needed to be clean. Shower pressure was terrible. There was also an odor in the room & hallways. Mildew or an aged odor. It was just ok. Had to make the best of it. Definitely not what I expected.

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Willow Bay.

Check in was a breeze and the room exceeded my expectations. It was very clean and the furniture appeared to be brand new. The view of the Ocean was perfect for hanging out and enjoying a drink.

Willow Bay has a great location right on the beach with lots of restaurant options near by.

The pool and grounds were beautiful and peaceful. We love coming to Myrtle Beach and we will definitely be coming back to Willow Bay.

The pictures do not match the condition of the property. I also met many people in the hallway who felt the same. It is in very poor condition. Our room was not cleaned well and we swept a large amount of trash up 5 minutes walking in. We also purchased cleaning supplies to clean because it was so dirty. The lamp shades had holes, the utility closet dripped from upstairs and was moldy, the chairs were faded, the furniture was scratched. Our utility closet began to leak on the second day and we had to put out pots and pans to catch the water. For the quoted price, what we were given did not match the price. At all. The hallways were dirty and needed vacuuming and smelled like mildew. If this hotel plans to charge a large fee per night, the rooms need to match the price covered. Absolutely not. The only upside was Mary was very nice and we were right on the beach. Disappointed in my stay and I regret that I cannot recommend to others. Please be careful of this hotels high rating. I was fooled sadly. I truly wish I could upload the pictures I took from this stay to show the condition of this hotel.

4-Star Review for Willow Bay

Check-in was super easy—they sent all the information straight to my phone, which made the process quick and stress-free.

My family and I were initially happy with our room, but as the evening went on, we ran into a couple of issues that unfortunately couldn’t be resolved right away. Thankfully, the host/receptionist Angie was incredibly helpful. She immediately contacted the manager and got us a complimentary upgrade to a better room!

Thanks to Angie and the rest of the Willow Bay staff, we were able to relax and truly enjoy the rest of our vacation. Their quick response and commitment to guest satisfaction really made a difference. We appreciate the excellent service and would definitely stay here again.

My family of 5 really enjoyed our stay.

Willow Bay is was the perfect size.
We are happier at a place without tons of people, loud music, and overcrowding.
It was Relaxing and great for a family looking to not have to book 2 hotel rooms.
We never had to fight for a chair at the pool.

Overall it’s just a great place to relax and unwind.

I would come back anytime. The front desk and cleaning crew were friendly and did their job well. Our room was clean, spacious, and the A/C worked great.

Don’t stay here

Yall please do not stay here! I read the reviews on hotels.com and they were good and the photos look good but it’s very deceiving. Go to other websites for reviews and TRUST THEM. The entire place smelt like natural gas & weed. Our suite smelled like paint when we got there and it looked as if someone came in and painted over dirt and who knows what else. The kitchen was super small (small oven, dishwasher and fridge) and not stocked at all. We had like 3 forks, no baking sheets, hardly anything! The cabinets are dirty and sticky so we had to wash everything. My feet were black after being there barefoot for 20 minutes. The bunk beds were broken. The back door to the patio doesn’t even close all the way. We wanted to go in the hot tub but the bottom was brown and disgusting. The white curtains dirty. I could
Go on and on but there’s just too much. I would never recommend this, or stay here again.

I will never stay at this establishment again! Arrived almost 4 hours late and my room still wasn’t ready! They had to paint the room we stayed in at 8pm! So the room smelled of paint and mold! Dirty stove bathroom and bed sheets! We actually went out to buy new blankets to sleep on because we didn’t feel comfortable sleeping on the beds! No house keeping at all!! My friend was having breathing issues because she has asthma so it was a struggle for her. The place smells like mildew and mold! Close this place down !!!

I sat on this review. I will start with the good. The location was great. Other than that that’s about the only good thing this hotel had to offer. It advertised a playground. There was none. We ended up going to the surrounding hotels for food and drinks. The room was lack luster. The twin beds were in a literal closet. The ladder didn’t work and ended up falling on my 2 year olds foot. Maintenance never showed up to fix the ladder. Check in was supposed to be at 4 p.m. we didn’t get to check in until 7 p.m. Oh and to top it off I was only offered a refund of $75-$100 if I lied and gave them a 5 star review. My conscious wouldn’t allow me to lie for some money. Therefore this is my real review. If you can deal with All of this then this would be perfect for you. As far as for me & my family, we won’t be staying here again. It’s clear the reviews are being paid for

This was honestly the worst hotel I’ve stayed at. There is never anyone at the front desk. You have to call to get in touch with someone, and even then they don’t answer. Every pool and hot tub was closed, and nobody made us aware of that prior. All of the surrounding hotels had their pools open. I never saw anyone cleaning. There was trash piled in the hallway. There was no extra trash bags. The air conditioning DID NOT cool the room. We had to go to Walmart to buy a fan to even be semi comfortable. This is the furthest from a “resort”.

I contacted Expedia and the gave me key cash… not enough considering I booked a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom because we needed it. This 2 days was a lot of money to not have the basic room description available.

Extremely disappointing stay. The property is poorly maintained, with unacceptable cleanliness standards. The pool and hot tub were both out of service, and the bathroom had major issues — the bathtub drained slowly, the toilets were dirty, and the flush barely worked. The hotel appeared short-staffed, leading to long wait times at check-in. I wasn’t given my room until two hours after the stated check-in time. Overall, this was a terrible experience and absolutely not worth the money. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

The people were so nice. So helpful. Older property but quaint and charming. Not as busy as surrounding hotels. Lots of ongoing improvements to the rooms. Internet pretty strong. Little pizza grocery right outside the front entrance. Parking so easy.

Our first stay at Willow Bay Resort.We travels from Florida.0ur first contact was a welcome call from the front desk. They gave us our room number and easy access code for the room. This made our checkin seamless and easy! We arrived in the room to find an incredibly clean and well appointed room. The bed was comfortable and clean and the bathroom was spotless. This room had an amazing view of the ocean. The view was beautiful, my wife stared out the window with amazement. The access to the beach was easy and close. We came for the beach and the access was close and easy. The staff and front desk were friendly and accommodating to all our needs. This property was amazing and not easy to forget! We plan to revisit soon. Overall this was an A resort!

You’re mainly Paying to be by the Beach

This place seems to have been review-bombed with positive reviews that might have been paid for or something, because you’d have to be missing part of your frontal lobe to give this a 10/10.

I’ll start with the good:

- Mary (the on-site attendant) is very responsive and friendly.

- The property is right on the beach.

- The text before check-in is detailed enough to get you there.

- Temperature control is decent.

- The rate was not over-priced and you can see why below.

The not-so-good:

- The pictures don’t match the property at all. Either they were staged and/or there were filters applied.

- Half the time, there was someone smoking weed in a nearby unit and it got old real fast. It was gross.

- Both jacuzzis are out of commission, which is also misleading and there’s signs for vending but no vending machines.

- The furniture in our unit was dirty, most notably the couch and the floor was covered in sand.

This place needs a lot of investment and a lot of work for people to not feel like they’ve been duped.

This resort looked good when booking online. The pictures were definitely taken to make it look better than it was. The lobby and room were clean. The common areas were on the dirty side and the smell was not very pleasant. Outside they had replaced boards on the boardwalk to the beach. This is always appreciated except they left the old rotten boards right next to the boardwalk and it made it dangerous. The pools and hot tub were not functional and were disgusting to look at. The two neighboring resorts has nice clean pools. There was a gathering very late into the night and it made it unbearable to stay in the room or try to sleep. The staff was very polite and responsive and eventually got the noise to stop. I come to Myrtle multiple times a year. This was by far the worst place I have stayed at. Rather than being well rested on my trip, I was more tired that when I started. There are two wicked bright lights for the exterior rear. They are positioned right above two of the top floor bedrooms, and one was in my room. The curtains have gaps and let it more light than the sun. I had to go to the store and get make shift ties to keep the curtains together to not let in the light above the room. I can say without a doubt, I will not be staying here again and I will not recommend Willow Bay to anyone traveling to Myrtle.

People are nice as can be. Anytime you need they bring to your room. We enjoyed being able to cook and vacation on a budget. Less going out to eat left more money for activities in the area. The ocean view was beautiful. We will be back.

Great Place To Stay

The two ladies working there were very helpful and truly care about their customers, they went above and beyond to make sure my wife and I were happy with our stay. We’ve stayed in motels everywhere but have never stayed in a nicer more clean motel than Willow Bay. We highly recommend this place , we will definitely be staying there in the future.

Property location is great and staff are nice but the hotel is really bad. Doesn’t match pictures. Booked on Expedia due to high rating and I have no idea where those ratings came from. Should have verified on google and read those reviews. Damp, musty feeling hallways, the room is in very poor condition and there was a roach crawling in the tub (literal roach motel). They should seriously consider pest control and renovations before continuing to operate.

Pretty good for the price point

Absolutely great location with great ocean views and super easy beach access. Staff is friendly, helpful and responsive. Location is walkable (1/2 mile or less) to restaurants and stores. The bedding could stand to be replaced/updated and adding a fan of some kind to the bedroom would be a nice improvement.

Property was suitable and the room was nice. Some upgrades could be done as far as electrical issues and it would be beneficial to have a small table on the balcony of each room to place items on such as cell phones, drinks, food, etc. The HOT TUB which was small, needed cleaning out. It appeared to have sand or dirt in it.

Frint desk was busy but helpful during Check-in time, the room we had was nice for just a lay over and chill. Me my other half and our little one enjoyed the easy access to the beach. The keyless entry worked Great. I gave it a 3 overall star because its old the knob on the bathroom tub was loose we we went to use it for the cold water and it came off. Just old i think a remodel would be good over just new flooring anyway its worth it if there is nothing else available or even just a lay over.

The property is very outdated, very clean but outdated. The pictures posted must be from when they first opened. They dont have bikes as they have listed in their amenities. The tint in the windows is peeling. The badeboards look as though they had water damage. The bunk bead was broken. And they have bugs. Unfortunately the only thing nice about this place is the staff. They were very nice and helpful. And the location and view.

Average beachside property. Pros: Nice outdoor space with chairs and games, short walk to the beach- good location. Space good for couple with kids, sleeps 5/6 with kitchenette. Cons: dated property that has attempted to update, but patched holes, worn bathroom and holes in baseboard. A/c needs work, beds super squeaky and saggy middle. Overall, average at best.

First, the property was easy to get to and the check in was very easy. The front desk staff was helpful. (Be mindful, that staff is not on site 24 hours, as you will have to call or text a number to any assistance or follow ups you may have). About the room quality, it was just mediocre; compared to what was promoted/shown on the website. For context, I made reservations for the 1-bedroom suite, w/ the ocean front view. The overall room was clean and I did love the second bedroom w/ the bunk beds for extra space. However, the full hotel room was small, as the room in total was probably, 900 sq. The room did not look like the pictures on the website as the room appears spacious in the photos. Also, the room is dated, it had cracks in the walls, ceilings, closets and it needed some paint to cover the water marks on the ceilings.
Upon arrival, the elevator had a horrific odor. I was told by front desk staff the trash from each floor is transferred to the outside dump via the elevator. I will state, that once I informed the front desk staff, they did address the issue and had the cleaning staff to address the issue.
The overall grounds of the hotel appeared unkempt. (see photos). There was trash in the backyard area and both the pool and hot tub was full of sand along with debris (peoples’ dirty clothes) around the areas. Also, the hot tub/jacuzzi was not hot, as the water was cold. I was not expecting perfection, however for the price, I was expecting a level of quality that

This property is not perfect by any means, they had a good photographer, but we still had a comfortable time and enjoyed our stay. The updated areas of the units are nice, but much of the unit is still dated and a little shabby. However, the beds were comfortable and the linens were clean, the water pressure was good, the air conditioning and wifi worked well, and the views and access to the beach were super. The staff were all friendly and helpful. If you are looking for a place where you can walk out to the beach and enjoy your day and come back and clean up and do it again, it’s a comfortable place to do so. If you are looking for fancy, this isn’t it.
