Great location. Great rate. Walk to beach, park and playground. Dining options within walking distance. Room was clean and comfortable. The ac was quite noisy as were the folks in rooms nearby. Lots of loud talking outside late into the night.

The staff was extremely accommodating and communicated well. Our room had an awesome view, was clean, and looked nice. The only downs were the pool was not exceptionally clean(but could be from storms that week) and the fridge didn’t get super cold. I would definitely stay here again and it was appropriate for the price paid.

So only opion was electronic check in. Check was smooth and easy. Rooms clean but dated. Never saw housekeeping. Biggest issue was no security to monitor property and people not staying there loitering in parking lot making a potential safety issue. Would not likely stay there alone

Never received info for what room we were in or an entry code (they have no front desk). Bathroom sink was clogged and unusable. AC was loud, but worked well. Ample parking. Swimming pool was the dirtiest hotel pool I've ever seen. NO maid service the entire time we were there (NO new towels, NO trash removal). Such a great location yet a miserable overall experience.

The motel was basic with no frills but very clean and suited me perfectly. I traveled with my 2 dogs and our accommodations were very good. The location was perfect - right off the beach with excellent areas to walk my pups. Check in was different than I’ve had at other motels/hotels. It was done via text. No one was actually on the property but instructions were clear and went well. I will definitely return!

Clean and safe nice location but nobody ever answered the phone or was in the office if you need anything. Also power went out leading to a child’s injury. And they have yet to call answer message anything back about the aotuation

I really enjoyed my stay here. Even when we had an issue with the bathtub clogging they were quick to send someone to work on it.
Would stay here again for sure.

I loved how close to the ocean this was! The parking was fine. You can tell it’s an old motel that the owners have spit shined and done a great job. Some of the things were weird, the bathroom door had white tape all over like it was kicked in almost, the toilet paper roll was empty sitting in the holder, etc. but those are just small things that didn’t super impact the stay. The beds were super comfortable and the room was clean, that’s the biggest thing for me! I’m a stickler for that! The contactless check in was awesome, too! But the fact it was just a nice little place in the middle of all the chaos of the huge resorts is what sold it for us! Will stay here again when we make it back to Myrtle!

I am a frequent guest at this property, and I have always had a pleasant experience with the staff. However, my most recent stay was quite the opposite. I was next to a room with four dogs that barked almost throughout my stay, creating the atmosphere of a dog kennel. I contacted the property to express my concern, but they said there was nothing they could do for me—not even offer to change my room. To support my complaint, I included three audio recordings as evidence, so there was no question that my concerns were valid. Their only suggestion was to call law enforcement.
I believe there were numerous ways they could have addressed the situation, but they completely disregarded my issue. Although I do not expect to be treated differently from other guests, I do expect to be treated with respect, especially as a frequent visitor. I now question whether I will return to the property.
