We stayed here for 3 days and 2 nights. The mini-condo was a decent size for our group of 6, and the included dishes were a nice touch. However, we ran into a few issues during our stay. While the beds looked clean at first glance, we found sand and dirt between the sheets and had to strip the bed to shake them out before sleeping. Additionally, the front door was misaligned and required a lot of force to push or pull completely closed. On the tech side, the bedroom TV didn't work at all on our first night. To management's credit, they replaced it with a brand-new TV the next day, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi was so slow that we still couldn't really use it. Overall, it was an okay room, but it definitely has room for improvement.

Dirtiest room I’ve ever seen.

The only positive is Cynthia at the friend desk was kind and welcoming.

Manager was a jerk. Smelly room - so bad my asthma started to flare up. Bathroom was atrocious we had to wear sandals. It had to have broken sanitary violations. We checked out a day early and the owner / manager wouldn’t give us the $ back for that night. This place needs reported.

Pool was dirty.

This is normally our go to for quick stays, however this is the worst it’s ever been. Rooms were not clean, staff was not helpful, the rooms were falling apart, sand in the bed, even the staff at the front desk was clueless. Then our key stopped working and were locked out of room so we had to go back to the beach after being out there for about 8 hrs waiting on lock smith. Management did not offer anything while we waited. The whole trip I had to search for toilet paper, towels, etc. I am very disappointed from check in to checkout.

This was a good place to stay. We talked with the staff before arriving because we were going to be late for check in because of a family emergency. When we arrived they were very nice and checked on the emergency. The pool was good, enough room for everyone. The room was what I expected. They are under new management and are updating things so I think it will be better as they keep going. I love that it was right on the beach and easily accessible. I would stay here again.

The rooms smelled fresh and clean, no bugs or critters. Kitchen wasn't fully furnished with utensils to eat with, but I asked and they gave us forks and spoons, also had to give us a microwave. Whoever is doing the painting and remodeling is not good. The tub and shower looked a mess. I could bring myself to use it, so sink baths were done. Beds were comfy and the area seemed safe, we were right on the beach and the main strip. Parking was weird, all the spots near the building stayed full, so I had to park on the lot across the street. It is not fancy, but good for the low price. Also there is a 100 dollar cash deposit at checking. They do not provide irons or breakfast.

Nice affordable hotel with option to get room oceanfront. All staff were over the top helpful and friendly. Pool is fun. Vending machines for late night snackies. Will stay here if we go back to Myrtle Beach. Thank you for the stay. Also, my son thought 2 rooms was just about the coolest thing ever. He had his own room.

The rooms were very nasty when we got there. No where at all to park!! Pool is very small for all the people that they let come in! They call it dirty Myrtle for a reason! Last day we were there. I took my kids on the beach at night. Well that didn’t last long because there was a couple having sex on the beach!

We went during construction that we weren't warned about... All night we heard beep beep beep and had no access to the beach and we paid extra for ocean front view... We were told (and I have it recorded) they would refund us if we checked out bc of it for the time we don't stay.... We packed our car up ... Went and fully checked out, all to be told afterwards no refunds... Not a trustworthy place at all! We were planning on rebooking when construction was over, but after being lied to we will never book there again!!!

Upon arrival there was a slew of shady undesirables hanging around. Alot of loud noises and music coming from other rooms. The elevator was covered in urine and i spent about 10 minutes trying to get the key to work with the door. Once inside the entire place reeked of mildew and mold. Half of the lights wouldn’t turn on. I immediately left and went to another hotel where i felt safe and clean. DO NOT take your family here under any circumstance.

The room was very dirty and only had a window unit for air conditioning and the pool was dirty. I booked the room in January and booked for a ocean view room and when I checked in the ocean view room was not available and I only stayed 1 night but was booked for 4 nights because we couldn't take it so we booked another room for the other 3 nights and left. Would not recommend to anyone.

The hotel is very run down, but, one of the few that is pet friendly. We just wanted a quick beach getaway.. upon entering the bathroom, there was a huge dead cockroach and what looked like mouse turds… I cleaned that up…. The gal at the front desk was awesome.. did not get her name.. but the whole place smelled like pot…
Would I stay there again, only in an emergency.

When we arrived, they told us the pool was closed for the day. Did not give a reason. They had a leak somewhere, which is understandable so we had no water for the first two hours. The room was missing a drawer in the kitchen, stunk like marijuana and the bathtub was literally peeling although it was very last minute due to a plane delay, and I only paid $100. It was definitely a place. I would never stay again.

Check in staff were very kind, but assigned me the wrong room, not what I booked, they did get that straightened out. The billing was incorrect, and we did not have advanced notice that a $100 cash only hold had to be collected at check in. Thankfully I had that with me. Cleaning staff were very nice and helpful, but very understaffed. Our dirty towels sat outside our room for three days, with no replacement, and we had to go to the desk three times throughout one day (morning to late night) to try to get towels to shower, have toiletries replaced and garbage bags. The new owner is very nice and you can tell they are working hard to improve the property.

Very welcoming to pets. Had a partial view of the ocean. Everything was ok until I was ate up by bedbugs. I was only given 5 dollars to wash all of our stuff and only refunded half of my money back when we left to purchase a different hotel after washing absolutely EVERYTHING. Lost 2 days of vacay because of this!

Find somewhere else. This hotel has a massive roach (not palmetto bugs) infestation, its disgustingly unclean and has a drug problem involving needles on the property. The \"oceanview\" balcany includes the sight and smell of dog feces.

I would like to formally express my concerns regarding my recent stay. The condition of the motel was unsatisfactory, as the room was not properly cleaned upon arrival, requiring me to clean it myself.

Additionally, I experienced a significant inconvenience when I was locked out of my room due to a malfunctioning deadbolt and the bed sheet got stuck, which ultimately had to be forcibly removed by staff. The toilet in the room repeatedly clogged, further impacting the quality of my stay.

There were also issues with other guests smoking in the vicinity, which created an uncomfortable environment, and the elevator appeared to be unreliable and not functioning properly.

I chose this motel specifically because it advertised itself as pet-friendly, as my usual resort does not accommodate pets unless they are service animals. Unfortunately, the overall experience did not meet reasonable expectations for cleanliness, safety, or comfort.

Given these circumstances, I respectfully request that this matter be reviewed and that appropriate consideration be given.

Didnt use the pools we went for the beach view & from our room all we seen was beach for miles, For a budget friendly vacation you couldnt ask for anything any better. I loved the staff they were very helpful and friendly. Made sure we had everything we needed! The building hasnt been updated but thats why its so budget friendly so as far as im concerned they dont need to update a thing i love it the way it is. The pools were accessible they have 2 diffrent ones i seen both outdoors but who would want to swim in them when the beach is so close. I cant say enough good things this place is amazing plan your trip there its worth it you get your deposit back.
