This is the worst hotel motel I have ever been in. I know it wasn’t expensive. I know it was cheap but still the room smelled like pure cigarettes. Besides that everything was dirty the bathroom, the tables, the floor, the bed everything was absolutely dirty and also people beware do not go into this hotel motel whatever it is it is infested with bedbugs. I left so early after I noticed the bedbugs on the bed. This is not a good hotel motel. Do not go on here.

The room was bigger then I expected and that made it even better. The room was clean but I think the floor needed to be mopped. Our feet were pretty dirty from walking on it. There were no shampoo or conditioner in the room so bring your own. There is a pool and it looked clean, kids were in it playing and having fun. Short walk to the beach. There is a a few shops across the street if u need drinks or snacks etc.
Overall I liked it here and would stay again.

There is black mold on the bathroom ceiling. I reserved a room that was supposed to have a KITCHENETTE, nope. A small refrigerator with rust on it
and well used microwave. I was awaken by what i thought to be gum shots in the middle of th night.so i covered my children with my body trying to get them between the beds. But someone thought that it was ok to shoot off fireworks in the middle of the night in the parking lot. Several men came running out of their rooms in a defensive manner as well. FYI my youngest has autism, which triggered a small but scarry episode with her.People not staying there were taking up our parking spot

The pool was clean and my little ones had fun. It was nice having direct access to the ocean.
The staff was friendly and pleasent .

The young lady was at the front office , very helpful and accommodating.

After check in the key card would not open to the room , the door looked like it had previously been pried open . The Office clerk gave us two more key cards and they door would not budge . Was moved to a different room after another visit to the office , and was able to access the room . I was beside myself , the odor from cigarette smoke and basement smell would knock you down . This hotel room was extremely dirty from the baseboards to the ceiling and everything in between . Old is one thing but straight up nasty is something totally different , I would not have even sit on the bed . I checked out and left this hotel , lost the money but got another room down the street at a decent hotel . I would not reccommend !

I was very pleased with this hotel. My child and I stayed for 3 nights and didn't have any problems. Our room even had a stove and full sized refrigerator. It was within walking distance of many restaurants and shops and was overall clean. Could it use some updates? Sure. But for the price, location, and accommodations it was a great choice for us.

It’s a decent place to sleep. I didn’t see any bugs like other reviewers said. I’m not very picky though and always bring my own bedding and cleaning supplies to any hotel I stay in. The hotel is old, but it’s a nice affordable place to stay for a few nights right on the ocean. Just make sure you bring your own toilet paper!

Honest review here, we arrived staff was very nice. Our room had a weird smell especially around the air conditioner. Floor was sticky feeling we just wore our shoes 24/7, we were given 4 towels for 6 of us which was fine I brought some due to previous reviews. We found a total of 5 cockroaches all along the wall that adjoined their supply closet, no bed bugs and beds were comfy. It was quiet, very close to the beach. I probably wouldn’t stay again but it wasn’t horrible.

Okay so this property is not the Ritz so adjust your expectations. We arrived early in the day and were pleasantly surprised to be able to check right in. We stayed in 108. Initially the room smelled bad and had a leaky refrigerator. I told the lady at the front desk and shortly she had someone bring another refrigerator. Housekeeping came in and mopped several times, as it was clear that the fridge was the source of the odor. Once it was throughly cleaned they sprayed some fabreeze and the smell was truly gone. I was impressed with the overall cleanliness of the room. The beds were decent, the sheets smelled clean and there was no mold in the bathroom. The towels were clean but a bit rough but what do you expect at this price. The housekeeping staff was so nice and took pride in the fact that their little motel is kept clean despite its general shabbiness. The beach was very close and there is an ice cream shop just across the street. It rained the night we stayed so we didn’t notice anyone hanging around the parking lot. The rooms next to us has people in them but we didn’t really hear anyone . Overall a great find- we would stay there again.
Tips:
1. Bring a broom to sweep out your room after going to the beach
2. Bring small amount of cash for ice to fill your cooler
3. Only provide 1 parking space but there was plenty of parking right next to the rooms
4. We booked through Expedia and were not asked for any cash deposit as indicated by other reviews

Excellent staff makes all the difference

The staff was excellent and made all the difference. An older hotel, could use some updating. But the room was clean enough, and everything worked. You can't help who the hotel lets stay, but when we had a large, ridiculously loud family next door blaring music and the kids throwing firecrackers, the staff took care of the Addams Family right away. Then we got some sleep. Overall, the staff (all of them) made our stay better than it would've been.

Save your money or spend a little more elsewhere

My husband and I booked a trip for 5 days. On the first day I was ready to leave. The room was horrible. There was old candy on the floor around the bed and side chairs, no kitchen area as website had shown and there was a hairy mess around the toilet. The air conditioner barely worked and looked as if it was ready to fall off the wall at any given second. I thought after the first night since the room was being occupied they would clean better...nope. I was completely uncomfortable with the whole thing. We did end up leaving a few nights early. I will say that we saw no bugs(thank goodness) but i would not recommend this hotel if you're looking for even a decent getaway. Also, this place was surrounded by homeless people hanging around the parking lot, which was unfortunate because we had quite a few asking for money, to use our phones or to just ramble. I'm not knocking homelessness but when you have an older lady getting high in your \"pathway\" to the beach it can be unsettling. We have been going to Myrtle twice a year for the past eight years but i think this year did me in.

An average older beachfront motel. Has been fixed up some, but there is only so much you can do with such properties. Good location, and all rooms have at least partial ocean views. Some guest were a bit rough & noisy, but quieted down at 11 pm. Reserved a non-smoking room, but got a smoking one. No offensive odor so decided not to request relocation. Would stay again if only looking for basic accommodations in a resort area.

I rated this property as \"ok\" only due to the fact that it was so inexpensive to stay at. Check-in process was a lot more complicated than it needed to be (wanted to see my wife's ID at check-in when in fact I had made a room reservation for two people - did they think she was a prostitute?). The room was also not very clean...had dog hair on the dust-cover blanket and what looked like dried up dog food on the floor (maybe hotels in Myrtle Beach should consider having a \"pet-free\" option for a room). Also had to show a copy of my check-in receipt when I left in the morning because apparently my name \"disappeared\" from their database. A lot of incompetence but for the low price and the fact we were just there to sleep it was tolerable.

This room was advertised as having a partial ocean view with a balcony. Instead it was a view of the parking lot and a chair outside the door in the walkway. The door did not seal well at the bottom, so smoke from the employees on their smoke break drifted in. This area is very loud.

The price is great!

We were pleasantly surprised by our stay. It was lower priced than others that are not nearly as nice. It is a small older motel on the oceanfront. We were able to park just a few feet from our door. The laminate flooring was new. The room was spacious with 2 very comfortable queen beds, 4 tables and 6 chairs. The kitchenette was small but included a stove with oven as well as microwave and refrigerator. We were making a quick return trip to Myrtle Beach so we did not have time to use pools and other amenities that the resorts have and charge an extra fee for. I would definitely recommend this place and will plan to stay there again.
