Our supposedly king mattress that were two twin beds put together sitting on top of OSB board which felt like sleeping on a gravel road was the part that really ruined it for us.So instead we slept on the sofa. Other than that the apartment was great but they should invest in some new mattresses.
Stayed at the River Oaks Resort for 5 nights. What you have to remember is that the units are owned by someone else so each one can be slightly different in terms of the fixtures. Our unit was very nice, clean, and served us well for the week. Check-in was easy, as was check-out. Overall we have stayed at many resorts in the Myrtle Beach area and this one was as good as the other. Would stay again in the future.
Check in was rushed and impersonal. I ended up paying some ridiculous fees and unexpected taxes which totaled a little over $74. I could not access the pool and management office was closed to get it resolved. The pool was on a totally secure fence and gate lock system which was good but could not get in. Had three options to have to leave a security deposit for $100 and if they felt you did not leave too big of a mess I will get it back in 2-3 weeks. Check out was just as impersonal. She was nice enough never asked how stay was or if I had any problems
Easy check in. They have a kiosk with free (recent) movie rentals. Nice indoor pool. Our accommodations were ok. Dated decor, Good-Will quality furniture and bedding . Room was clean but could use a fresh coat of paint. Kitchen lacked mixing bowls, dish cloths and a few other miscellaneous essential kitchen items. Did find a small possibly "bug/baby roach" in the unit. Although, I'm no bug expert. Rugs needed to be cleaned more often as my feet were discolored from the dirty carpet. Window was off track so there was a cold breeze. I could hear the upstairs tenants running around the apartment. One night my 1 year old child was up late playing and the downstairs tenant banged on the ceiling quite a few times cueing me to keep it down. Walls and floor not soundproof at all.
The resort seems to be kept up nicely and have clean rooms. I will return again!
Room was clean but had some flaws pans were burnt ,fridge missing bar on door,bottom of blender broken but good out weighted bad alots of room clean I will use again.
Nice. Lots of room. Beautiful golf course view. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. A very nice place for the family! I definitely recommend!
This was our first trip to the beach and we lucked out. These condos were great. When we walked in we couldn't believe how nice and spacious it was. The whole space was awesome. We were only a five minute drive from the beach, and two minutes away from a grocery store. Great location.
Nice place,the beds were terrible,woke up every morning with a backache. They need to change the mattresses to something comfortable!
Very nice place and great amenities. Located on a golf course and was in a good location
Very nice location. The only negative about the establishment is the comfortability of the beds. I requested a king bed, but was surprised to find two twin size beds connected. Very uncomfortable stay.
The unit we stayed in we were told that the indoor pool don't come with this room. A big let down its winter.
We have stayed in this complex before and this property was very sparse with kitchen amenities, and overall decorations. There was a broken window when we arrived, which when noted they said they could move us, but we opted to stay due to already unpacked when we noted behind couch. Also, no signs about wifi connection or tv instructions. Due to getting settled in on wed, and when we noted no wifi close to 5 we were 2 days without wifi due to holiday, kind of bummer for kids! Overall though good family time!
Amazing location, minutes away from the ocean... However, the bed was VERY uncomfortable. I asked for a king and was surprised after laying down to have two twin beds put together instead of the king bed that I requested, which cause me and my guest to have back pain and little to no sympathy or corrections were made once the issue was out forth to the staff member. Due to the price and location we were semi pleased, just be mindful of the bed comfortability.
When purchasing hotel room was listed as king was given two twin beads attached to a queen headboard. Upon entering room looked like it had been hardly vacumned. There were dirty ventd that I had to clean out. Not enough towels or pillows given for 3 bedroom 2 bath condo. Staff was rude upom arrival. Also charge a 100 resort fee that will be refunded after stay that I wasnt told about. The person who worked the activities area was never there and when asked the clerk when she would be available she replied "oh I dont know she makes her own hours". Coffee maker broke as soon as I turned on. Overall was the wost experience I ever had.
Everything was excellent except the bed could have been better with the mattress but we enjoy the trip.The resort had everything and it was close to everything so it was nice .
Quiet, slightly dated, but comfortable. Very homey feel.
My experience with River Oaks was good, they were willing to work with me due to being stuck on traffic on the way to the resort. So I would say our overall vacation was love, minus the first night spent in the heat. I would stay there again!!
It was not what I expected, it far exceeded my expectation. The bed was not so comfortable to sleep in but it will do. The location was really good to the outlet and The beach. Very clean environment. I would stay again.
Check-in listed as 3:00. Room was not ready until after 4:00 and had to go back to resort office to find out room was ready. Staff did not call us as they said they would. Requested a room w/ wifi. We had to call the office repeatedly for them to get it working. Advertised king bed that turned out to be a queen that was hard as a brick. Unit was a 2 BR/2BA but there were only 3 chairs at the DR table. Not a bad place to stay for the cost, but the office staff could do better on following up on customer issues and standing by there check-in time.
