Outdated and Falsely Advertised

The room was not the same room that was depicted on the reservation website. The room is very outdated with a few up to date features. The shower is updated but has no place to put your soap or shampoo. The TV is HUGE and up to date with streaming services. The rest of the room is very outdated and old. The curtains were rusty and hanging off of the window. The beds were not side by side (as depicted in the online picture) and instead, one bed was near the entry door, and then there's a separation of a bathroom and kitchenette and then the other bed is on the other side of the wall and near the door to the balcony. Also, this room is NON-SMOKING and when we arrived, there was a vape and a pack of cigarettes left under the bed. So clearly the room was not properly cleaned. We called the front desk to ask for a cleaner room and they had no other options but offered for staff to come up and remove the items. This was at 9:00 pm that Friday night, by check-out on Sunday, no one had come to remove the items. I ended up using a tissue to pick up the vape and cigarettes and throw them away myself as to not get blamed for it being ours. The continental breakfast was good but the area to eat was VERY closed in and had limited seating. The hotel is not up to par and does not meet the standards of the surrounding area. Honestly, it should be bulldozed down and built back up to be more up-to-date and "livable." We will definitely not stay here again.

Rooms very large and clean. Location was great. One small incident with the elevator was out of service for about an hour. It was bad that our family had to climb 10 flights of stairs with supplies and a baby. Parking was very limited and crowded off season too. Otherwise we made the best and enjoyed our stay.

Probably won’t stay again

The rooms size are amazing. Plenty of room for hanging out with family and friends The biggest problem was the amount of marijuana being smoked there. The smell just came in to the rooms. Didn’t appreciate it!!! Elevator broke down for a few hours (we were on the 10th floor)

Average, not a 9 or 10 resort

We stayed 2 nights. The staff was pleasant at check-in. We were in the older 3 story part. There is also a 10 story tower that might be better or worse; I'm not sure. The hallway is open to the outside and the rug is nasty. They need to just rip up the carpet and paint the concrete. The room had been redone. We were on the 2nd floor and had a nice ocean view. Ocean access was very easy. The room was clean and newly carpeted. The bed was comfy. Oddly, the refrigerator, stove, and tissue holder were still old and rusty. The bathroom was clean. The hot water had to run for literally 30 minutes to get hot and there was little water pressure. There is a small parking lot in front of the hotel and more parking across the street. Don't park under the trees if you can. My car paid the price from the birds but nothing can be done about that. Oddly, I received an email from the manager asking me to provide 9 & 10 ratings. This is not a 9 or 10 resort. This is an average place and given the water situation, I would not stay here again. Oh, breakfast was the typical premade eggs, make your own waffles style. The dining area is really small and we opted not to eat there on day 2 and to eat at one of the hundreds of pancake places in Myrtle.
