Had to switch air conditioning unit out twice due to quit working room floor not so clean and you can tell it’s an older hotel that they just repainted the walls and done a few other things and call it a newly renovation you be your own judge but personally I wouldn’t stay here again due to it being older

One time and done

Employees were nice. But room was outdated. They charged us $25 early check in fee, for 2 hours early. Also charged a resort fee on top of posted Hotels.com price which was supposed to include all fees. Worst part? We were only there for one night, air was set on 69, room stayed 81 the WHOLE night. Must be hotel controlled. Lastly, we woke up with either sand mite, flea, or bed bug bites. Had to stop for benedryl on our travel home, because of the bites. Will never return. The good reviews are why we booked, but none of them were true based on our experience. Also, there is no elevator! Be prepared to carry everything up stairs!

Easy check-in. Classic beach hotel without all the frills. Reminded me of my childhood beach trips. Beach was perfect. Other vacationers were perfect. No chaos. No obnoxious music. Everyone was respectful. Will return. Thank you for a great quick trip!

Would stay again

Ground floor room, pool right outside your door, with small table & chairs, 5 steps down from pool your on the beach! Upper 3 floors had balconies. Being a smaller hotel service was great, you were not just a number. Nothing fancy, but clean. Most rooms have a very small kitchen. Great location, very close to murrels inlet. Best part was we decided to stay another night ( first 2 nights rained out) so Tina at the front desk did some moving around for us, so we didn’t have to change rooms! We will be back!
