Myrtle Beach hotels near Grand Strand

Cons: When viewed online it showed beach front which they have...in the other side of the street on their "other" property and it also wasn't stated that because it is an owner property they don't clean or provide any housekeeping service your entire stay, which if we stayed for just a few days that would be ok but we were there for 7 days! I would not stay at this property again Also when we checked in they offered to get us information on things to do etc but then when we declined to sit through there time share presentation that offer quickly was forgotten and never happened

Cons: There wasn’t an adults only area or signage discouraging little ones from any of the hot tubs which is a little frustrated for a couple on vacation when it’s almost 10pm (pool closes at 11). It’s not a close walk to anything you want to visit so be prepared to drive.

Cons: Parking was a bit challenging, but overall it was OK

Cons: The only thing I didn't like was the hotel restaurant was only open during daytime hours.

Cons: The Breakers ain't the same Breakers! Beware there are two (or more) towers -- North and South. You check into the North tower and it's all clean and wonderful looking, but if you're staying in South, it has more of a Motel 6 feel to it. Old, outdated. The three things that keep it alive are: Oceanfront views, price and housekeeping staff. Our phone didn't work, and (oddly) we didn't have a shower curtain, but they got right on it. Also, the beds are immediately there when you open the door, so be aware while dressing. Parking during check-in can be congested. Staff was harried -- took incoming phone calls before people standing in line (my pet peeve), but our check-in guy was cool and accommodating.

Cons: Be careful which building you’re in. There are multiple towers and most of them are old and VERY dated. Also our Resort view was of the side of another building and the street. Which wouldn’t have been so bad, but unbeknownst to us it was bike week. For half of our stay all we heard was blaring explicit rap music, cursing and the whole hotel smelled like pot. During this time bike week was going on the room next to us was blaring their own rap music till 4am. So while most of my complaints aren’t about the hotel. I do wish they would check the halls at night during these events so that their guests can get some sleep

Cons: When booking this room, I did a great deal of research. I read reviews, I scanned hundreds of pictures, studied accommodations and compared them to prices. This hotel had beautiful pictures and some pretty good reviews, so we decided to give it a try. The first thing we saw (and smelled) upon arrival was giant dumpsters of trash and men were shoveling it out of the building into the dumpsters. We checked in just to use the pools because our room wouldn't be ready for a couple of hours. We had to go find parking across the street before we could swim. The hotel was very crowded so we walked around for awhile looking for a place to leave our things. Before we could find a chair, a security guard asked us where our arm bands were. We hadn't been given any armbands so we had to lug all of our stuff (including our eight month old daughter) back to the registration office to get them. The resort boasts it's number of pools but each of them was warmer than some baths I have taken. We eventually ended up at an indoor pool where a lady was sitting right next to us smoking. After a couple of cours our room was ready. I was excited because it was advertised as ocean-front. When we got into the room, our balcony overlooked the parking lot. There was a mini fridge which we had planned on keeping our sandwich meat and our daughters food in, but it didn't work, so we ended up traveling to and from the ice machine several times to keep our things cold.

Cons: People drinking in the pools with kids

Cons: Beds were a bit rough to sleep in. Kinda springy. Pools could open earlier and stay open later.

Cons: Kids next room banging on railing at 7 in the morning.

Cons: Loading and unloading zone. Too small and no help by staff. Traffic jam area!

Cons: I wish they put us in the actual hotel instead of a motel across the street. It was embarrassing

Cons: Although some people may be frustrated that the parking is across the street, it seems to be pretty typical for hotels in that area. We never had trouble finding a spot. Also, there is a loading area where you can park when checking in.

Cons: Toilet paper and towels were a little thin.

Cons: 3:00 check in

Cons: Last min, they ask for a $100 deposit, they said it was a pending authentication, but bank recorded it as a purchase...been 2 days haven't received deposit back yet...

Cons: One morning the lazy river was not clean and a guest took it upon his self to clean which he should not have had to do when your paying good money for your visit

Cons: I can't really say that there was anything that I didn't like. The only thing that I would mention, is the bathroom is dated and could use a makeover.

Cons: Poolside bar ran out of most beer??? What the heck... They should have ran to the nearby liquor store and purchased a few cases. Lame.

Cons: The very cold bathroom floor.

Cons: The resort is split up into 3-4 separate buildings. We were in the north building and not directly connected to the lobby. The lobby was small and a bit uninviting. The parking is a bit of a pain as well. The resort overall looks rundown and old, however, this is not unlike any of the accommodations in the area. Overall, my stay was just okay.

Cons: Bathroom was bit cramped, not a lot of floor space outside the toilet and shower.

Cons: Concession stand/Bar closed at 5pm just as we were coming off the beach. Bummer could have used a nice frozen drink.

Cons: The old style of the hotel. The refrig was not cleaned out.

Cons: Parking was kind of a mess. Multiple lots and all very tight.

Cons: Was advertised as "beachfront" room, instead, was located at an alternate building around 100 feet behind their main suites, with no view of the ocean from the room.

Cons: Bad wifi

Cons: Leaving so soon

Cons: There was a faint stain on my pillow. Also, since we weren't oceanfront, we had to travel outside of our building to get to the fitness center, pool and other amenities.

Cons: The fact that they give me a very bad room at first then I had to upgrade for a better one.

Cons: Parking is extremely limited. We had to carry all of our luggage nearly an 1/8 of a mile due to there being no where to park. It also took us over an hour to check in. The line was out the door. It took the staff nearly 20 minutes per guest to check them in. The room are very out dated. Looks like it belongs in 1980.

Cons: We were really looking forward to hanging out in the pool/hot tub with a few drinks after our early dinner reservations. However, the bar at the pool closed at 6 pm. Sure, there was a bar fairly close by that we eventually ended up at, but we would have preferred to stay on site.

Cons: The beds are uncomfortable- no support for a hotel that was recently updated.. In the room the shower did not drain causing us to miss a family dinner because the shower basin was full. Called the front desk and they stated they would send someone right up. It took them an hour and a half to show up, after 3 calls to the desk! Asked for the manger to call and they never did. Very disappointed! And no pool towels when signs direct you to the pool. Trash left outside are room all night. Again, I don't expect this kind of service from a 3 star hotel.

Cons: I do have a few complaints and they are as follows: The outdoor pools and lazy rivers were not heated and it took a couple of warm days before my children could tolerate swimming in them. The indoor pool in front of the Palmetto building left a lot to be desired. The building housing it was very unattractive, somewhat run down both inside and out and the towels were never in stock when I looked. Lastly, I just couldn't get past the fact that this resort does not offer any hot tubs on its property. A staffer told us that the Hilton has purchased this building and that many more renovations are on tap for this year. Having said that, overall my family enjoyed the resort and would return if the rate stays reasonable after the major renovations! The quiet family friendly location was a must for us!

Cons: The only thing I didn't like was the fact that the people next to us were smoking non-stop, at first it was just on the balcony and I smelled it then (that was understandable, they obviously had to smoke and did it outside) but by the last day they were obviously smoking in their hotel room and we had an adjoining room door (we didnt know them) so smoke was coming in under the door. I didnt complain as I did not want the hassle and confrontation on an otherwise enjoyable stay. I realize that unless I complained you could not handle it but I didnt want to make an issue of it.

Cons: The heated pools, while certainly more comfortable than the ocean in March, weren't what I would call warm, and no floats were available for the lazy river. The pillows provided virtually no support, and I spent the majority of the trip with a stiff neck.

Cons: I was confused on how to get to the front desk/lobby area at first. Not many signs but was able to locate it after a couple minutes.

Cons: The Barnicles restaurant wasn't as nice as I thought it would've been but the food and drinks were good.

Cons: There was no couch, just a big empty space where it most likely used to be, very small tv, bathroom sink was outside of the bathroom

Cons: Not enough floats for the lazy river.

Cons: We rented an umbrella and chairs from the resort but couldn't get it set up. We eventually figured out that it was broken. The attendant gave us a refund but didn't offer any help with it so we had to rent one from the lifeguard.

Cons: The guys in the room next to us were REALLY rowdy the second night. I believe someone handled it right around quiet time. It came to a sudden stop.

Cons: There wasn't much to say that I didn't like so I guess our only complaint was there was no hot tub.

Cons: Didn't like that the office checkin was a bit far off, it shows a disconnect btw management and clients. Didn't like that the hotel didn't offer any water spots like jet ski rental or boat rentals. Didn't like the fact that there was no decent restaurant in the facility for breakfast, lunch etc. It meant you needed to leave the hotel often for quick stops which takes the relaxation out of the vacation

Cons: No spa, frequent loud sounds from planes that fly directly over the hotel

Cons: The rooms condition was awful. It looked nothing like the photos online. In the bathroom the faucet was was falling out of the wall , there was rust everywhere. Just not at all what I was expecting for the money I payed !

Cons: ...

Cons: Outward appearance of the hotel is not very nice. Elevators smell so do the staircase. Pools are nothing fancy. VERY limited parking

Cons: N/A
