Was very disappointed with the room. There was no where to sit except for on the bed. Shower heads need to be changed to something the will give you enough water to rinse off. Wasn’t worth the price I paid.

This property is just a high priced motel. The rooms were bare. Only beds and a couple tables and one chair. There was tons of empty space. There was no couch or comfortable places to sit. The pool was unkept and poorly maintained compared to the beautiful blue pools in neighboring properties. The grass was also terrible. The property boasts being pet friendly however there is really no place to walk the dog and after getting burs in her paws, my dog refused to walk on any of it. This property needs better upkeep. The prices charged are far too much.

The walls had spots on them. The parking lot was always packed with people going to the beach and taking up spots from residents. It also gets really loud at night on weekends. When we arrived, one guy was sitting on the steps smoking marijuana. The only good thing about this property was the proximity to the beach even though its the quieter end of the beach and not as well kept as the boardwalk end.

The bathroom shower had black mold. The room walls and ceiling were black with what looked like second hand smoke. Bed and towels had hairs and stains on them.

Where do I start? Unhelpful staff, language barrier, no coffee maker, dirty room, bathroom, and linens upon arrival. I requested clean towels, linens, and for the room to be cleaned. I received new towels and it took multiple phone calls and even more hours to get the new linens. It only happened because I saw housekeeping people outside. Even at that they tried to tell me they already brought them and acted like I was lying about not receiving them. The door would not close properly. I was told that's how they're made and all doors are the same so moving me to another room wouldn't help. Maintenance came the next day after a phone call. He barely spoke to me and didn't tell me he was done, he just left without saying anything. If I had not been relocated there by VRBO on a holiday weekend I would not have stayed there, but I was too exhausted from driving to find another place that didn't charge too much because of the holiday. The worst motel experience of my life!!!! Housekeeping didn't provide toilet paper, so I'm glad I brought my own, and the same with the room trash can liner! I can't believe this place has a 7.0 on Expedia. This place is a 4 at best, and that's because it's on the beach. Expect poor service and to do everything for yourself there, including the cleaning, and to provide your own amenities!!!!

The sheets had sand on them so I’m pretty sure they were not washed. In the morning, the housekeeping showed up and did not say hello. They were too busy cursing at one another. We had a reservation for 2 nights but left after the first one and found other accommodations! Stay away!

2. The chair in the room is broken and cannot be sit on
3. Parking is limited and we did not have parking when we returned in the night
4. Any problem, we need to communicate over messenger and wait for the hotel personnel to respond. They repeat the same questions even after answering them the first time. Rather frustrating. They were responding to me through messenger.
5. There is no active hotel staff
6. Towels were dirty/stained

Our stay was highly frustrating due to poor room conditions and a total lack of service, though the surroundings are beautiful.

Pros:
Beach Access: Unbeatable proximity to a wonderfully quiet, relaxing stretch of beach, which is perfect for kids.
Ambiance: A peaceful coastal atmosphere away from massive tourist crowds.
Dining: Easy access to excellent local restaurants in the immediate area.

Cons:
Cleanliness: The floor was completely dirty and sticky upon arrival. Walking barefoot was impossible.
No Service: No room service and towels were never changed. Nobody was on-site or reachable to even ask for fresh ones—you are left completely on your own.
Broken Amenities: Refrigerator handles were broken off. Only one of two TVs worked. The window curtain had a hole, causing zero privacy at night and an early wake-up call from the bright morning sun.
Too Small: The bathroom is way too tiny for five people and not built for this occupancy.
Verdict: The peaceful beach and great dining barely save a second star. If you want a clean room, working amenities, or basic service, do not book here. Great location, awful management.

When we arrived it was nice we found our room easy but there was loud teens in the pool and this was at 11 pm we went to the beach for till 1 am and when we came back there was police cause of the teens. And then we wanted to just check the pool and the lady in the room next to the pool opened her door and started yelling at me and my family. We tried to tell her politely that we weren't with the teenagers and she still wanted to yell at us and tell us how she had a two year old and they were sleeping and we needed to keep if down and not slam stuff we told her we would be quite and then the teenagers came back so we went to our room. Next morning a man in the parking lot was asking us if we owned a black truck cause it hit his and another vehicle while we were standing at our white vehicle. When we tried to go to the office to talk to someone before check out the doors were locked and couldn't find anyone. All together would of been a better stay if someone would have been there to deal with the teenagers and the lady yelling at everyone and next time we will not choose this hotel. Even though it had a good price the atmosphere was not friendly.

We stayed at the Mermaid Inn and found it to be a suitable option for our trip. The location was convenient, and the accommodations were generally comfortable during our visit.

However, our initial impression was affected by the condition of the room upon arrival. The bedding did not appear to be clean, the bathtub required additional cleaning, and the shower curtain was visibly worn and appeared due for replacement. We also noticed that the floors were sticky and chose to clean them ourselves before settling in.

Overall, we had a satisfactory stay, but the housekeeping standards and room cleanliness could be improved. Greater attention to cleaning and room preparation prior to guest arrival would help enhance the overall guest experience.

Worst experience I’ve ever had and what’s worse is that after calling and making several complaints we left after one night. They never offered to refund any of the money I spent to stay at this dive! The pool was green so I would never have let my kids swim in it and the floor of the room was sticky and gross! The noise was out of control! There is NO ONE on site to manage any situations that may arise! They need to permanently close this hotel and use the area for parking! If they truly cared about making their paying customers happy they would have tried to compensate me for the nights I wasn’t staying!

Let's go with the positives!!! LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Beds comfy, ungraded furniture and refrigerator. We stayed here 3 yrs ago and loved it! Older property, great location, rooms with no frills but clean. This stay, eh I was disappointed. The check in was virtual, like an Air BNB. The interior of the room was either caulked or drywall patched to the hilt. The tub had a very slow drain, notified the property and it was repaired quickly. We noticed gnats in the bathroom and the pool was open but looked like it could use a good vacuuming. The location is great, the response from management was rapid but could use a bit more tidding.

Personally, I did not care for the online check-in and having ZERO staff onsite.

The outside of the property needs to be cleaned up some. Location is in a quiet area of MB, so that was good.

I had reserved a pet-friendly room for 2 nights, and upon entering the property I had several concerns. The adjoining room had people in there with multiple dogs that kept barking, causing my dog severe distress. They were also blasting music, and with the paper-thin walls, it was just not going to work out. We also noticed wet caulk in the doorway to the bathroom, spread onto the floor. The people outside were very sketchy and it became a concern for our safety. We simply could not stay there. I have tried several times to get a refund, but they simply do not respond to any message.

Extremely Disappointed — Poor Cleanliness and Unsafe Conditions

I rarely leave reviews, but my recent stay at this hotel was unacceptable. The comforter on my bed was burnt, which is both unsanitary and unprofessional. I was shocked that something so visibly damaged was still placed in a guest room.

In addition, the stairwells and common areas were dirty, and trash was overflowing throughout the property. It gave the entire place a neglected and poorly managed feel.

This is not the experience I expected or paid for. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and addresses the cleanliness and quality control issues immediately. I will not be returning and don’t recommend this hotel.

Terrible communication with virtual check in

I booked this hotel because it is next door to where my cousin was staying and I wanted to be there for her wedding. I never even stayed in this place one night. They have a total virtual check in.I was never made aware of any check in process when i spoke to someone on the phone earlier in the day to let them know I would be arriving late. I got an email saying I will need a physical key and I would get information on retrieving it. They did not tell me how I would receive this information. I never received the information when arriving at 12 am in the morning there is no clerk no way to communicate and we had to find another place to stay.Upon our late arrival we spoke with a guest that also had issues with check in. I called and spoke with someone the following day and they put the blame on me and would not refund although I had all emails and texts they sent and none of it had any information that I needed to check in. They sent me the information a day later. I disputed the credit card charges and did receive my refund. I am glad now that we did not stay here. Being next door at my cousins place and seeing this place from above it did not look like a comfortable or well kept place to stay. The pool was very dirty looking. Definitely would not recommend this place. If they do not keep any clerks or anyone available who would you go to for any issues or anything you would need during a stay there? This hotels operations are inefficient and lack proper oversight.

Cheap and run down hotel; good location

Location is great; right on beach! Rooms were clean and we didn't see any bugs. Beds were comfortable. However, there was no deadbolt on the door. Room had no hangers at all and stairs up to room looked like they were about to rust through! There was no cleaning service at all during the stay. Shower was terrible! Pool was green and murky. I asked for a late check out and was told we could have one if I left a 5 star review on Google and sent them a screen shot. I declined since that is unethical. Overall, not a good experience.

Once inside room was ok, A/C worked great! The pool at the property was in poor condition and was very dirty when we went to swim. We decided against it and waited for pool cleaning people to clean things up. There was no shade poolside and no umbrellas for tables. There were also broken pool chairs lying around on the pool deck area.

Pros: great location and easy access to beach. Hotel has warning that parking is limited, but we were able to park right at our room for both nights we stayed. Beds were decently comfortable. Appliances in room had cute retro vibe. Had DVR and good quality tv in room which was nice for the kids.

Cons: Not as clean as I was hoping for, but you get what you pay for. Found a few dead roaches around the room, but no signs of bedbugs or live bugs. No front desk so there are no workers on site, which lead to people being rowdy and partying at night. Never felt unsafe while I was there, but it was hard to sleep at night due to the noise. Pool was very dirty which was disappointing as I had kids excited to swim in it. The floor and sides of pool were slimy and green. No elevator access, so if you’re assigned to the 2nd or 3rd floor you have to climb at least 2 sets of stairs but they warn about that.

Overall, it wasn’t terrible but it wasn’t great either. If I didn’t have the extra money to spend on something nicer next time we’re visiting then I could stay there again, but I’d prefer better.

Room was big and sparsely decorated but clean which was awesome; however, if you want to get some sleep, you’re better off to stay somewhere else. First it was the occupants around and above us slamming doors, arguing, and playing loud music. Next were the fireworks until the fire department arrived. Not to mention the barking dogs, and the next door neighbors TV blasting at full volume. Then finally, about 5am, it quieted down. There’s no staff at the hotel as it’s all virtual so if anything goes down, it’s the guest’s responsibility to contact authorities and try to get a hold of an employee. I’ve stayed here before when the front desk was staffed and the experience was great which is why I booked again. Unfortunately, this isn’t my jam and we won’t be back.

I am a frequent guest at this property, and I have always had a pleasant experience with the staff. However, my most recent stay was quite the opposite. I was next to a room with four dogs that barked almost throughout my stay, creating the atmosphere of a dog kennel. I contacted the property to express my concern, but they said there was nothing they could do for me—not even offer to change my room. To support my complaint, I included three audio recordings as evidence, so there was no question that my concerns were valid. Their only suggestion was to call law enforcement.

I believe there were numerous ways they could have addressed the situation, but they completely disregarded my issue. Although I do not expect to be treated differently from other guests, I do expect to be treated with respect, especially as a frequent visitor. I now question whether I will return to the property.

Don't ask for extra towels because you will not get them. Don't ask for anything after hours for no one is on the property to assist you with anything. I had to help several other customers find the janitors closet to get the keys to their rooms because their codes didn't work. Those are not listed properly. Just luckily I was outside the room at midnight and they approached me. NO ONE that works there SPEAKS ENGLISH if you call they hang up because they say don't understand.

There was no TV remote in the room and the volume was set super high, so we couldn’t use the TV. There’s also a big gap under the room door and sound comes right in, super easy to wake you up.

I loved how close to the ocean this was! The parking was fine. You can tell it’s an old motel that the owners have spit shined and done a great job. Some of the things were weird, the bathroom door had white tape all over like it was kicked in almost, the toilet paper roll was empty sitting in the holder, etc. but those are just small things that didn’t super impact the stay. The beds were super comfortable and the room was clean, that’s the biggest thing for me! I’m a stickler for that! The contactless check in was awesome, too! But the fact it was just a nice little place in the middle of all the chaos of the huge resorts is what sold it for us! Will stay here again when we make it back to Myrtle!

Disappointing

Definitely was an experience. Lots of young partying kids, revving motorcycle engines, loud, the shower had a dirty wash cloth and a razor in it.

I requested earlier check in, but couldn’t check in until 4pm After waiting around for check in, the keypad on my unit’s door did not work at all. This resulted in me having to contact the property and go find a hard key. There’s no staff on site, and everything is remote which added to the inconvenience. The room was mid, and the bed squeaked with every movement. You get what you pay for I guess.

The motel was basic with no frills but very clean and suited me perfectly. I traveled with my 2 dogs and our accommodations were very good. The location was perfect - right off the beach with excellent areas to walk my pups. Check in was different than I’ve had at other motels/hotels. It was done via text. No one was actually on the property but instructions were clear and went well. I will definitely return!

A quick trip to Myrtle.

It was what you would expect for a 100 a night motel I think anyway it being right on the ocean.

Love that it’s just steps away from the beach, and there’s a nice park right next door. The room appliances, furniture, TV and bathroom counter are all new. However, the AC smelled like mold, the tub had missing caulking, and the blackout curtains left so much light in we slept pretty poorly. However, we would totally stay again and just bring our travel Sleepout blackout curtains.

Upon arrival the door code provided by text msg didn't work so they changed it to their general code. The room was warm (it was 100 degrees out). There is no light switch until you fully enter the room. The drapes do not close fully and this was first floor a couple rooms from the outdoor pool. There were no hangers for the clothes rack. The furnishings are newer. However, as discovered after putting my food in the warm refrigerator (I turned it up)...the refrigerator didn't work (lost all the food I brought), the air conditioner ran continuously but did not cool (it was warm and stagnant). There is no front desk, all communications are via text. After a couple days, they brought the refrigerator from the room next door and installed a new air conditioner. They reset the door lock pad. I discovered later that the door now doesn't lock at all. Anyone walking by and noticing a green light on the lock will know it's not locked. I told them to bring something to close the curtains and they gave me 2 binder clips (I was going to go to a store to buy these). I was scheduled to be there until Saturday and I left on Thursday....2 more nights paid for but couldn't safely stay there. No refund was offered...in fact, they asked if I'd like to extend my stay! This is all unacceptable.

Great for the price

Mermaid Inn is definitely a great choice for that price. The location is great. Unfortunately you cannot see the ocean from level 1, not sure about the other levels but it is oceanfront. The rooms are very simple. They are older and a little rough around the edges but have been updated some. I would recommend it and would stay here again. We did have an issue with some flies but it was a short stay so we just dealt with it.

I wish there would have been a hair dryer in the room. Other than that, the beds were comfortable and the room was very clean. Management was very cooperative in changing our room from the first floor to the third.

This place was awful. We didn’t even stay because of the conditions and they offered zero care or refund. There was a 1.5 inch gap on the bottom of the front door! Bugs and mice could get in zero problems. There was mice pee and poop behind the beds, stains on one of the beds comforter, disgusting vents and a broken front window. It is a health hazard do not stay. My daughter was with me and due to the sanitation and feeling unsafe we made other arrangements and are out the $320 they charged for us not staying. The communications the first day was horrific and rude. And they offered zero accountability on their part. Do not book this place. Oh and the pool was so cloudy it looked disgusting.

The only upside of this place is the location. Thats literally it. The rooms weren’t even attempted to be cleaned. Floors were filthy, white bed comforters were not clean, beds full of hair, and I’m almost positive this place has bed bugs. My daughter woke up with lines and clusters of bug bites down her legs. The shower was so nasty that we would only get in with flip flops on in order to rinse sand off. Nobody showered here. I had to use my own personal blanket and pillow then threw them away because I didn’t want to bring home bed bugs. The dang tv wasn’t even plugged in. My husband had to find the cord to it and put it both in the back of the tv and the wall. Pool was also disgusting. Wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone ever.

My room was dirty. There was a lot of drug users. I constantly smelled weed. There was a huge gap under the door. You could see outside from under the door. Management refused to give me another room. Floor was dirty, trash was left in the garbage, lady razor was left above the shower.
