Beautiful hotel. Great pool area. Our room was clean and spacious. The only negative thing we encountered was that there isn’t a sign for check in and it wasn’t obvious to me where check in was as there were desks in a little alcove and not a counter. But I was standing right in front of the desks, holding a bunch of bags with my 4 kids and they didn’t say anything. They weren’t helping a customer. They were just talking to each other. Wouldn’t stop me from coming back (or even giving a poor rating) but just not the experience right at the beginning of our trip that I would expect.

The overall stay was pretty good. The staff are very responsive, friendly, and accommodating. The beach access is a plus and stress free. The price for food is reasonable. The price for alcohol at the pool is unreasonable. The prices are not listed so you do not know how much you're paying until the drinks are ready. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. I would return to this resort. It's close to all attractions in Myrtle Beach.

The hotel was ok. The bathrooms were excellent. However the rest is old. The carpets were severely stained. But it had signs in the lobby stating a renovation was coming. So that's great because it is in need of a renovation. For the amount they charge for the resort fee. It should definitely have more to do when you walk around the hotel or in the hotel. A bigger tv would be nice for the amount of money, and more tv channels.

It's a great property in a decent location. It's just way overpriced for a place that calls itself a resort. You can get ninety percent of the amenities at a chain hotel for fifty to sixty percent of the cost.

We had the corner room in the marina Towers, which we loved. The balcony is beautiful. Our room had a fireplace which we did not use, but made our room seem very cozy. The outdoor pool was a little on the smaller side. They do have transportation to take you to the beach, which was about a mile away. They are very accommodating. We would stay there again.

A great place to stay with a family as the staff is very attentive and if you don't need room service nightly--they will give you a $5 credit to use for food and drink at the site EACH night you put the reminder on the door! The shuttle to the beach leaves every 15 minutes and is a breeze to get there with air conditioned shuttle and towels for you to take with you to the beach and bring back to the bus. There is a place outside of the Marina Inn where you can put beach toys you may have bought and don't want to take home with you that you can use and bring back so others can use as part of a community toy system they have set up with boogie boards, sand toys, shovels, etc. Definitely a place worth checking out and staying for an extended period as it was one of the best places on a vacation we have stayed that is within driving distance of the heart of Myrtle Beach with activities, dining, etc.

Loved the resort- highly recommend a check-in a better overview of all amenities available. Would’ve appreciated booking the spa we booked online through Expedia so we did not know this was an option. We absolutely loved the restaurant waiter but it was unfortunate He was the only one staffed for the restaurant and the bar. He made the experience very memorable and had the best hospitality. The food was great, but I think you would have a better turnout if there was more staff support.

The hotel itself was perfect for our stay. The valets were great to get information from. Some of the other staff were not helpful or crabby. Our flight didn't leave until the evening so we asked for a late check-out option. They stated that the indoor pool had showers and bathrooms to get ready in. I wish I would've checked it out before assuming it would work for us. We spent the day at the pool and beach. When it was time to get ready for the airport we went to the indoor pool. There were no showers. The shower that was there was a rinse off shower out by the pool. I was very disappointed!

The property itself was beautiful (gorgeous lobby and grounds) but our room was not. Our room was dirty, moldy, and in disrepair. The carpet and upholstery in the room was stained - the carpet very visibly stained. Kitchen and bathroom floors were dirty and the grout needs to cleaned and resealed. There was a lot of visible mold and mildew in the bathroom. We purchased a ‘superior’ condo but there was nothing superior about the room condition due to lack of cleanliness and cabinets falling apart. We did enjoy the size of the room, the view of the waterway, and the washer dryer in the unit.

The hotel itself is wonderful and the amenities are excellent. However, the location isn't ideal if you want to explore. There aren't many dining or shopping options nearby, and it’s quite far from both the main city attractions and the beaches. Good for a quiet stay, but prepare to take a shuttle.

The hotel requires a much needed renovation. Save your money and book once the renovations are made. The rooms are dark, worn, and carpets and furniture are stained. The first room we were given was covered in black mold due to a HVAC issue. The rooms are dark and musty. The beach shuttle is a nice idea in concept, but when your kids are hungry, hot, tired and sunburnt, the last thing you want to do is stand in the hot sun and wait for the shuttle. Just spend the extra money and stay at a beach front property. The view and outdoor pool is nice - everything else is not worth the expense.

Marina Inn was very well maintained. Check in was quick, bellman staff was very helpful. Cedric in the Waterscapes restaurant was a GEM. There is a Ruth Chris on property so dining options were very good. The Inn is in close proximity to all Myrtle Beach has to offer. The private beach is a BONUS amenity as well as the shuttle service that provides access. Will definitely stay again.

The lady who helped up check in was very nice . However , we arrived to our room dropped off our bags without thoroughly checking the room . We arrived back to the room around 11pm. There was a card that was given to us with 20% off for food . We went to the snack-bar and asked if we would use the coupon. The gentleman who assisted us at the front desk was outrageously rude . He shrugged his shoulders and said “I don’t know what you’re talking about”. Then said he’s not taking any money we have to charge it to the room . Slid a pen and paper to us and said sign here on a blank personal notepad with room number.We asked the price and he didn’t know that either . Later I was charged a ridiculous amount that was never confirmed. Our room also had black mold in the vents and shower . The air did not work well and ceiling fan was completely broken. We drove hours and were unable to sleep due to the room being uncomfortably warm . The Shower leaked all over the floor due to poor design and a few towels were dirty. They also left us with NO soap in the shower at all . When brought this to the front desk’s attention all we got was I’ll put in a work order . Our balcony also Smelled like marijuana . This is definitely not a “luxury” hotel . Serious work needs to be done with the front desk staff and housekeeping. The hallways and amenities are clean but your room may not be …

Hotel wasn’t bad, was expecting the room to be nicer. The a/c didn’t work that well and there was mold in the bathroom behind the door which we informed the desk staff. For a luxury 4-star hotel, I expected the room to not seem a bit run down. Bed was on the hard side and pillows were like sleeping on soufflé, your head sank straight down. I would have enjoyed the balcony if the spider webs didn’t cover both of the chairs. Staff was nice but I feel the hotel overall needs a good refresh.

This hotel is in a downward spiral. Most of the gym equipment is unserviceable (Treadmills, Bikes, Elliptical) Hot tub jets not working in one tub. Noise coming from speaker sirens on the bedroom walls, so I had to wear ear plugs to sleep. Broken shower door, thumping sound from the AC. Inconsistent staff. A few really great employees that go above and beyond then the majority act as though you are interrupting their day when asking a question or making a request. Despite staying at this hotel over 10 times in the last 6 years, and identifying these issues prior. Nothing changes. Room service is impossible to order as they only have one staff member handling ALL room service orders. So you have to call room service, leave a message with your order, they never return your call and the order is never delivered. Or room service calls you back and they do not know what you ordered. We've told management that is not a sustainable plan but they have no authority to hire two more people to have a three person room service crew. One to take orders, one to make the orders and another to deliver. But they won't do that. Instead, they work one person to the bone, they quit and they have to start over. Very high employee turnover. This place is simply being mismanaged and does not have the effective full staff to manage what we all pay for to stay there. Sad. Because it has soooo much potential.
