    Overall good just the pool was crowded everyday from open to close

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The rooms smelled fresh and clean, no bugs or critters. Kitchen wasn't fully furnished with utensils to eat with, but I asked and they gave us forks and spoons, also had to give us a microwave. Whoever is doing the painting and remodeling is not good. The tub and shower looked a mess. I could bring myself to use it, so sink baths were done. Beds were comfy and the area seemed safe, we were right on the beach and the main strip. Parking was weird, all the spots near the building stayed full, so I had to park on the lot across the street. It is not fancy, but good for the low price. Also there is a 100 dollar cash deposit at checking. They do not provide irons or breakfast.

    Nice affordable hotel with option to get room oceanfront. All staff were over the top helpful and friendly. Pool is fun. Vending machines for late night snackies. Will stay here if we go back to Myrtle Beach. Thank you for the stay. Also, my son thought 2 rooms was just about the coolest thing ever. He had his own room.

    The rooms were very nasty when we got there. No where at all to park!! Pool is very small for all the people that they let come in! They call it dirty Myrtle for a reason! Last day we were there. I took my kids on the beach at night. Well that didn’t last long because there was a couple having sex on the beach!

    Pleasant

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The only good thing is that is in front of the beach. Worst experience ever! The rooms are extremely outdated and poorly maintained. The lamps didn't work, the bedspread had holes in it, the bathtub looked dirty, and the ceiling had large stains that were absolutely disgusting. Things got even worse the next morning when I tried to take a shower. One of the faucets broke, causing water to flood the entire room. I had to call the front desk twice before someone finally came to shut off the water. By that point, the water was already flowing out the front door. To make matters worse, while checking out, I overheard another guest complaining about bed bugs in their room. I'm being completely honest—do not stay at this place. I travel a lot, and I have never had such a bad experience anywhere I've stayed.

    Sometimes being cheap ends up costing you more in the long run. It’s not worth it.

    We went during construction that we weren't warned about... All night we heard beep beep beep and had no access to the beach and we paid extra for ocean front view... We were told (and I have it recorded) they would refund us if we checked out bc of it for the time we don't stay.... We packed our car up ... Went and fully checked out, all to be told afterwards no refunds... Not a trustworthy place at all! We were planning on rebooking when construction was over, but after being lied to we will never book there again!!!

    Bad

    Close to the beach. Room was full of cockroaches. Bathroom was supposedly up graded but very poorly done.

    Passable

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The price was attractive is about all I can say. Well not to mention both rooms being dirty, the main thing is my child found a used Vape left in our room and being a very young child not knowing any better, got sick from it. It was a used mint/menthol vape that was left near the front window. It's clear that the faculty did not fully clean the room and it was obvious. When I mentioned this to the front office personnel, she acted like it was no big deal, no apologies or anything. In fact she didn't say anything, turned around and walked away! I do not recommend this place to anyone!
