This is a buy by the hour style hotel. We booked for two nights and left after 10 minutes because the room was filthy. People were smoking in their rooms even though it clearly stated no smoking. The room was so unsafe. There was a small latch between to the other hotel room but worse of all the door did not fully lock. When we locked the deadbolt there is a separation between the door and wall so big you could see that the deadbolt barely went into the whole.

DO NOT STAY HERE! My partner and I are college professors who needed a cheap place to stay in Myrtle Beach for one night. The Anchor Motel was cheap - until they did not refund our $100 deposit. When I called to complain they said that we had left bloodstains in the bedsheets that they couldn't get out which is simply not true. My partner also saw a bed bug on the floor and we both had bites after our stay here and had to bug bomb our bedroom at home. A cheap place to stay but not worth it!

Drop ancor elsewhere!

The room was filthy, and the place overall is well worn! The old saying holds true "you get what you pay for",but i didn't expect to find a half smoked joint in the drawer while looking for the tv remote. I told the staff and it was shrugged off as no big deal!

Terrible.

This is genuinely the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at in my life. Rude, dirty, and misleading. It looks nothing like the photos. Found several cockroaches in our room, told the front desk (that isn’t even attached the the hotel itself, rather the motel next door) and they told us to sweep it off the deck and into the pool. Mold on balcony. Never received new towels or toiletries. Was going to get a new room but the hotel and Hotels.com refused (despite paying for the insurance.) Had to pay another $100 resort fee on arrival. Scam.

If I could give this place zero stars I would. The rooms are disgusting and look nothing like they look on the pictures online. The room they gave me had mold on the lampshade, paint chipping off the walls, broken outlet covers with exposed outlets. I asked the front desk person if I could cancel my reservation that I only reserved only an hour and a half before I got there, and he told me that I could cancel but he would charge me $800 if I did. I still didn't stay in the room. I left immediately. I booked through Expedia and after one month of discussion with Expedia they refunded my money. Expedia was never able to get ahold of the hotel for approval of my refund so they refunded me on their own. This is a shady, dirty place.

Paid almost 400 for a room. Due to it being late. But absolutely under no circumstances should this property charge anything close to that. The linens had other peoples hair on it. There was a roach, the counters were peeling up, and the oven burners literally were disgusting and made of foil. It’s extremely loud outside. And our Balcony door wouldn’t even shut. If you have no place else to stay just sleep in your car.

Disgusting hotel. The rooms were dirty & the bedsheets were wet & stained when we checked in. There were roaches in the microwave. The floor was dirty with a look of haven’t been swept. The balcony was so nasty with residue of cigarettes. It smelled disgusting, the stove & refrigerator were disgusting as well. As soon as we checked in, we checked out. We had to get another hotel & they did not want to refund us. Very unsafe & unsanitary, would NOT recommend. The staff were useless.
