Reviews and Ratings
The hotel location is superb, nestled near the beach and away from the bustling resort areas. Rooms were comfortable but cleanliness standards fell short. Service lacked warmth and attention to detail. Dining options were average. However, being directly on the beach provides a tranquil environment away from the chaos of Myrtle Beach.
The hotel is in a convenient location on the beach, near a park, and a short drive to attractions. The rooms, though deceiving from online photos and had mildew, were lacking comfortable seating. The service was generally helpful but had issues with cancellation and payment disputes. The dining options were limited, with just donuts and muffins for breakfast. The facilities were acceptable, with a grocery shopping service and laundry available.
I stayed at the hotel on the 3rd floor, which was challenging without elevators, but the service and location made up for it. The rooms had a moldy smell, but the overall experience was pleasant for a good price.
