Palmetto Shores Oceanfront Hotel

$29 a night. Not a bad price at all for an ocean front room

My wife and I checked in on Feb 10 for a birthday celebration. We had an efficiency room on the 8th floor where the lobby is located. The room was a little outdated but clean and trouble free. We had a great view of the city as well as the beach.All of the appliances and TV (as well as remote) worked just fine. The front desk staff put a little extra effort in to get us in our room a little early and we really appreciated that. The location is great, you can walk to nearby restaurants, bars and some attractions. The boardwalk starts about 3 blocks away. We had nice evening end enjoyed the stay in the Palmetto Shores. We would stay again.

I loved the location. Staff was friedly and rooms were okay. Great deal for its price!

We had a fantastic family overnight trip. The room was great and the location was even better. Will definitely try to rebook at this hotel as we had a great experience.

The only problem we had was that we arrived on time but our room wasn't ready so we had to wait 45 minutes to check in. Other than that the hotel was a great value and we enjoyed our stay.

Upon driving up, the building was old but the property was kept well. Check in was smooth with friendly staff. Upon getting in the room, it was small, carpet was NOT filthy, dirty, yes, but its on a beach, duh. The location was PERFECT to walk ANYWHERE. The staff was absolutely AMAZING, from the pool bartender, to a clerk that went above and WAY beyond for OUR comfort, to the manager that just happened to be walking around picking up trash in the parking lot when he heard my son yell up that he needed a towel. Manager stopped in his tracks and said "hang on little man, I will go get you one", and was back within 2 minutes. The battery stopped working on our door for our key and I needed heart medicine that was inside, the clerk was there in 1 minute to open the door because the electrician would take 3 minutes to get there, not one minute. We needed a coffee cup, they brought us 6. We needed a towel, we got 8. I have stayed in hotels WAY "swankier" than this and have gotten FAR WORSE service. So the question of does STAFF actually make up for things like CARPET?!?! Why YES, YES, they DO...

Checkin was wonderful, didn't experience any issues and was greeted with great customer service. The room was oceanfront and the location of the motel was within walking distance to the shops on the Grand Strand and the Sky Wheel. The room was clean and we had no issues while we were there. We would stay again! You will probably read some bad reviews, but don't let that steer you away.

The staff was friendly. The room was clean minus the little bit of dirt in the tub which rinsed away. Location was very convienant. My only complaint is that the shower water was weird. It wouldn't stay comfortable. It was either to hot or two cold like one kept going in and out, so we had to keep playing with the knobs. Also since we had a group I tired to arrange to have all the rms together and they didn't work well with me. One room ended up in another building. Not convienant.

Hotel is definitely older (I remember when it used to be the Poindexter) but I don't need luxury. The location can't be beat, if the Boardwalk & other activities interest you. When I get there, I park my car & it does not move again until I leave. Can easily walk most everywhere & that's HUGE with Myrtle Beach traffic. There's a Piggly Wiggly straight up on 17 & their restaurant is across the street & quite good. Staff is friendly & helpful. Lots of staff activity, cleaning the pools every morning, aerating the front lawn, & they are in the process of updating the rooms but like any capital project, that will take some time. My room was basic but clean & it had a full size refrigerator, which was great. I won't hesitate to stay here again.

This was just a one night stay for a friend's birthday bash at the beach. Overall no complaints on the room or location. I would stay again. The only thing that got to me is that we called in advance and asked that the three rooms we had booked be together since we were all coming from out of town and wanted to be near each other for convenience and security. When I called I was told that it wasn't possible to get them together. I then asked for a note to be put on the rooms so we could at least be in the same building, since there were multiple. after check in we ended up with two rooms together and one in a different building. I just don't see how you have reservations in advance, as the hotel can plan out their rooms for the day and not block out the reserves together. (I used to work in a hotel...) But I may use this location again.
