We stayed at this resort approximately 18 years ago and it was very good value for the money. We had a housekeeping unit and the rooms were very clean and and the staff friendly and always ready to help. We visited Myrtle Beach in August of this year (2009) and decided we would stay at the Wave Rider. Due to... more

If you are thinking about staying here think twice. I'm in the Army at Fort Bragg, about to be deployed and came down here with a friend last minute. We knew we would stay at a budget hotel by the beach so I was thrilled when I stopped at a gas station and picked up the supersaver publication and found... more

We manage rooms at several locations throughout the Myrtle Beach area. The only coupons that we distribute are valid for a street side double occupancy room that is located across the street from the ocean at the Wave Rider Resort. The coupon is valid for walk in guests only and includes a free continental breakfast at the rate of $39.00...

I would like to start by saying I have been staying here for 4 years now. We fell in love with this place and the employees when we first stayed here. This year was not the same for us. The worse part was how rude the staff was with us. I raise my kids to respect people and when they... more

What a dump. The staff are rude, the room has not been remodeled in yrs. Sheets were stained. Comforter was threadbaren and ripped dated. Furniture sofa and chair were really old and worn out. Rug had not been vacumed in a long time. Stove was questionable at best. Refrigator had dents and would not close properly. This place is stuck... more

Unfortunately we cannot please everyone, but over the past few years we have made a good many upgrades to the property in an attempt to satisfy most of the guests. As the property manager of the Wave Rider, it concerns me when I read a review like this. It seems sometimes that no matter what upgrades we do and discounts...

Don't stay here! It's a terrible value for your money. We were double charged for our room on our credit card, the room was not all that clean. We thought we were getting ocean front, from the third party reservation group we booked through. It was NOT oceanfront. It was a dump! The staff was not nice and they were... more

As the guest mentioned, they booked their room through an online travel agent rather than contacting us directly. When a guest books through one of these online travel agents, we do not have any direct communication with the guest until the date of their arrival. Typically we receive an email from the online travel agent providing us the guests name...

My family and I checked in on Saturday and paid for the room before we saw it. (We usually do). Once inside the room it was ugly. The table was broken, the fabric of the chair arm was ripped, the sliding door lock was very flimsy, carpet was filthy. That room was room 134. We talked to the lady at... more

During our peak summer months of June, July, and August, the Wave Rider is frequently completely booked especially on the weekends. When the guest approached our front desk reservationist, she offered to assist by having our maintenance staff as well as our cleaning staff help the guest with any issues they were having with the room. The guest declined any...

Better not say their names but they know their stuff and take hospitality seriously (and personally). The suites are upgraded according to a schedule and I noticed the last time I stayed at the Wave Rider, we were provided hospitality packs with a few samples of useful things, money savers that turned out to be more than 'ol coupon pack... more
