• I really liked the room service they provided daily.
• We did not like the additional parking lot to the rear of the hotel. You can not see anything that is going on back there.

“The hotel is located in a nice area of Myrtle Beach. It is located close to many things so you can walk instead of drive. The room we had was perfect for us and our 3 children. We also like being able to see the ocean from the window even though it was a block back from the beach. We loved the daily room service.”

• The staff did their best.
• Roaches. Water stained ceilings. Non-functioning light switches.

“The hotel staff was friendly and tried their best. The room had roaches. The ceiling was water-stained and sagging in the corners. The light switches required a degree in electrical engineering to operate. It was old and worn out. On the last night of our stay, a section of the stairway gave out exposing the rebar that held it together. The pool turned dark green on our third day and never cleared up again.”

• Very friendly and helpful staff.
• Room not ready on time.

“Everyone was very friendly and courteous to us at this hotel my only two complaints were my room took a long time to be ready as they had new people on the cleaning crew and the other thing was the clean sheets that were put on the bed had a couple burn spots on them from cigarettes.”

• The staff was very friendly and helpful.
• I would have liked the refrigerator to have been bigger.

“The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had a problem with the toilet and we told the front desk and maintenance was there to fix it in less than 5 minutes. It was also very close to the beach, it is just across the street. Overall, it was a great experience.”

• I absolutely loved the location - it was right across the street from the beach!
• Not a true continental breakfast - not worth getting up for.

“This was my first trip to Myrtle Beach for pleasure. I have to say that we had a really great time, away from the hotel. It was definitely not a typical Days Inn the way I remember them. The beds were not comfortable at all and the continental breakfast was more like cereal and toast breakfast. Some of the hotels that are independent were in better shape than this place, so I can't say that I would recommend it to anyone.”

“I went to the hotel with very low standards and I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was friendly and helpful. The beach was just across the street. My only complaint was my husband and I stay coincided with senior week. There were a lot of rowdy teenagers everywhere, not that it was the hotel's fault. All in all I enjoyed my stay there.”

• The rooms were very clean. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The continental breakfast area was very clean and the food was fresh.
• Overall my experience was very nice. The only thing that I did not like was the parallel parking spots next to the street. It's a good hotel.

“This hotel was very family friendly. The staff assisted me promptly with my requests. The continental breakfast area was very clean and the food and coffee were fresh. The swimming area was also very clean. This hotel was located in a prime holiday location. It was conveniently located near all of the Myrtle Beach attractions. My family and I enjoyed our stay very much.”

• The staff was friendly and the location is right across the road from public beach access.
• The free wireless internet did not work half of the time.

“When we arrived they allowed us to check in early are room was clean and had a very strong lemon scent. We made the unfortunate choice of taking are vacation during the fall bike meet so the hotel was full of bikers that were loud. The staff allowed the bikers to use half the parking lot to show there motorcycles and they took up all of the sidewalk parking with trucks and trailers making it very difficult to park. I am sure this is not a problem most of the time. Our room was cleaned every day we wanted it to be cleaned, except they never seemed to manage to clean the toilet or refill are complimentary coffee. The complimentary wireless internet was a decent speed for browsing websites and uploading photos online that is of course when we could actually get it to work. For a lot of the time we couldn't connect properly and had to try multiple times to connect. There are no elevators at this hotel and we just so happened to be on the top floor so we got are exercise while we where there walking up and down stairs every day. The pool was semi heated it wasn't unbearable to swim in but it wasn't hot either. The hot tub was the same temperature as the pool maybe a little warmer but it was no hot tub and of course they are both outside which makes things harder to heat. The complimentary breakfast was alright. It consisted of small plain bagels, small muffins, cereal hot and cold, apple and orange juice, coffee, little fruit filled pastry's, butter, peanut butter or cream cheese. In closing they are clean enough for most people; the internet is so so, the location is very convenient to the grand strand and route 17 which leads almost everywhere. The beach is very close and the pool is semi cold. The breakfast is fine for most especially since it is free. I would recommend staying here if youre on a budget if not then find a better hotel across the road.”

• Convenient, kid friendly breakfast.
• Our room wasn't cleaned.

“This hotel was a real mix of good and bad. The front desk could not find my reservation but the clerk was very nice and friendly and searched diligently until it was found. He even put me on the ground floor as asked. The room was clean when we arrived, but was not cleaned during our stay, not even fresh towels. The pool was enjoyed by my nieces, but they couldnt understand why we didn't have the "nice pool" like the hotel across the street. Breakfast was ok, kid friendly with cereals juice and donnish. I probably would not stay again here, especially at the price we paid (Cheaper rooms available at hotels that looked as nice or nicer).”

• The parking spaces were very near the room.
• The bathroom door would not close. Walkways very DIRTY!

“I was not pleased with this hotel. I was looking for something near the beach, and it was within walking distance. The walkways were dirty and smelly. The mattresses in the room were the worst I have ever slept on-no exceptions. I believe this hotel should consider some upgrades to the rooms. The bathroom left much to be desired, and the bathroom door did not even close. The parking spaces were located close to the room, which was convenient”

“Rooms were OK I must have misread. It must have said ocean view and I thought it said oceanfront. There were cheaper, nicer rooms for less money.”
