We stayed in the hotel in the firtst week of february 07. They let us keep our dog with us and were very friendly. The food from room service was excellent. It is the third week in february now and we are on our way back this weekend. I couldn't do much since I had the dog, but the hotel was so nice, I still had a memorable experience. Will be even better this weekend!!!!!!!!!

I received reasonable non-seasonal rate from a discount service, but this hotel does not live up to its 4 star booking. Rooms are average for the beach, and charges are made for parking and internet room service. The beds are adequate, however. Unfortunately, I had something personal missing from my room but found after contacting guest services for two days, that I was on my own. The experience? Not what I would have expected from Starwood or Sheraton

Booking this hotel using Hotwire saved us a bundle off the "rack room rate"--but the savings left me half-expecting that once we got to the hotel, the "too good to be true" rate would translate into poor service, bad room location, etc. We were very pleasantly surprised to find the staff very courteous and helpful, our room clean and well-appointed. We enjoyed the fact that the hotel was slightly off the beaten path--made it quiet and the lack of traffic made it easy to make quick exits. Located close to the beach and just a few blocks from Broadway @the Beach, made it convenient for swimming, shopping and dining. Yes, the walk from the parking area to the hotel was not pretty or ideal, but we were not charged for parking (not sure why), but even if we had, it would have been a small price to pay for the safety and convenience. I would recommend this as a good, safe and convenient place to stay when visiting Myrtle Beach.

A great place if you can get it for a good deal... Don't spend alot thinking you will get a truly amazing hotel.
Wife & I stayed here over a weekend in late September. I'm alway a little skittish using Hotwire, not knowing where you'll end up, but it got me this 4-star hotel at the last minute for $83/nt + tax, fees = $95/nt. This is the off-season, so I don't know how realistic this is other times of the year. Sheraton's website listed the room for $119, so we got a decent deal. I believe this Sheraton is the only 4-star rated hotel in Myrtle Beach, so if you see a 4-star on Hotwire or Priceline, it's most likely this place.
The hotel lives up to the 4-star rating, although it's slighlty leans to 3.5 more than 4.5. Rooms were nicely furnished, granite countertop in bath, leather chair, small loveseat. Bed was excellent, extremely comfy with down mattress topper and comforter and high-end pillows. A few things are starting to show a little age, with a small stain in the carpet, a knick here or there, but overall it was clean and comfortable. I'd like a better TV than the 24" in the room, but I'd probably give it too much attention.

I don't like getting charged for little things, and that's where the hotel kindof gets you. Parking is $5/day, local calls are charged, and room service is quite expensive. The room service was very good however, in their defense. Internet service is $10/day in the room, however, you can get free wireless service in the lobby and bar area, which were nice areas in themselves.

You also have to realize the hotel is not on the beach, it's not really within walking distance either, considering you'd probably have a bunch of beach stuff to carry. They did say they would allow us to use their airport shuttle to go to the beach, but we never got around to using that. The indoor pool and hot tub is nice, but kids would probably get bored quickly with plain, rectangular pool. Myrtle beach has so many other hotels with pools, lazy rivers, etc., that kids would be more interested in. Gym is nice but I didn't get my lazy butt in there, but there are LCD TV's on the bikes and treadmills.

Service was quite good, they got me in my preferred room type (king, nonsmoking) despite the fact that Hotwire got me a smoking room.

Overall, If I'd spent $150 or $200/nt, I would have felt a little slighted, but if you can get in for $125 or less, I don't think you'll won't be disappointed.
