Came in early and had to get a room. Forrest was great at check in and gave great recommendations for food. Overall great room, attentive staff, great service. Wil definitely be back!
I stayed there for a couple of days.Staff was amazing always had clean sheets and blankets and tails rooms were very clean
this place was perfect plain and simple the rooms were clean the Wi-Fi was fast and i stood in the shower for like half an hour and the hot water never slowed down i did have a little bit of an issue with the smart tv but the young guy at the desk came back and showed me how it worked turns out the tv was smarter than me all and all it was an amazing stay
We booked a room last minute while traveling and I could not be more happy. I read others reviews and knew this would be a decent place. I was pleasantly surprised how clean it was! The young man working the desk was very friendly and so very helpful when needed. I'll definitely stay here again when the need arises!
I read the reviews after booking Nov 16-19, so my expectations was already biased but this turned out to be nothing like some of the reviews. Yes the $100 deposit was mentioned, no different than any hotel i have stayed at. I was checked in the other building across the main hotel and overall, everything was clean, no bed bugs, sheets clean, room was clean and nice. Hotel staff was friendly and accommodated my needs. Location was perfect for what I needed, everything was 10mins in reach includes Myrtle Beach. Try Cook-Out right next door, great fast food and reasonable prices.
Rooms were great -- clean sheets, nothing smelled, had nice lamps. However, the water only got to lukewarm at best. They have free breakfast too. Overall solid experience and good pricing.
I stayed here on April 11 with an employee. We arrived hours before are allotted check in time. We were met by the nicest front desk employee I've ever met (Carmie). She was super friendly and let us check in early. Our rooms were meticulously clean, comfortable, and recently renovated. We will definitely be booking here again due to the complete customer satisfaction we experienced here and the great value!!
Don’t understand all the negative reviews because this is one of the best budget friendly hotels I’ve stayed in. It was very spacious, clean, renovated. The bathroom was large, hot water, good water pressure, many towels and wash cloths provided. Spacious sink area. Mini fridge, microwave, wardrobe and ironing board. Beds were comfortable and clean. TV was a smart ROKU TV. Air conditioning got cold when set to cold! The room was very clean and it seemed to be in a quiet area. And the gentleman who checked me in at the desk was friendly and helpful. I’ll be returning for sure
