“Horrible experience”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed March 12, 2013

I booked this palce online because of the great price...
Price is the only thing this hotel has going for it.
We arrived at 2am and as soon as I got there, I was already aggravated. There is not enough parking for the amount of hotel rooms/guests. The office staff are not friendly at all. The room we had was dirty, I was afraid to lay in the bed. Both beds were broken. The walls and sheets were dingy. The bathroom sink had a ring in it from something...
I will never stay here. We checked out at day break before our stay was up. Of course we didnt recieve a refund, its just a lesson learned. I dont recommend this place to anyone.

“I'm afraid to touch anything”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed March 2, 2013 via mobile

I only needed a room for the night and the rate was good. But even at about $45 for a non-ocean room on the beach, the trade off just isn't worth it.

The room is just gross. It appears to have been "cleaned", but there is sand in the tub, the sheets are yellow and dingy, there's something sticky on the nightstand, and frankly, I'm afraid to touch anything. I'm actually putting a towel on the pillow so that my face doesn't have to actually touch it. I considered complaining, but I honestly get the sense that this is a standard room.

The walls have that connecting door that locks, and I can hear my neighbor's TV as if it were in my room. Also, the people above clearly have children running through the place. This hotel doesn't keep sound out from anywhere.

There is also a general feeling of not being safe. I would NOT recommend families to stay here.

It's unfortunate, as the location is good. And the room could be nice. It's s good size, there's a stove, mini fridge microwave and sink.

Spend a little money and stay somewhere else. The bargain isn't worth it.

“x husbands idea not”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed March 2, 2013

This hotel is scary and I got taken here for my 1st wedding anniversery. Wow. Furniture stacked outside 1st thing I saw. Then the parking deck. You need a 4 wheel drive vehicle to do. Then the lobby. Fly paper strips covered with dead flies. girl behind desk reading Cosmo. Only ones in line. She continued to read not offering to help us in any way. Finally after standing there for a while my husband says we would like to check in. She looks up from mag says in a few minutes continues to read. at this point notice big sign NO REFUNDS. Elevators had grafiti room was pretty bad. however great view. its up to you but I would say book else where.

Room Tip: dont stay here

“Best bang for your buck!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 28, 2012 via mobile

Great staff, they go out of their way to accommodate your needs. Pet friendly n has two dog parks. Mattresses are comfy. Clean rooms, no mold like previous reviews claimed. It is an older establishment, on the beach, plenty of rooms, parking garage is more spacious than any I've been at in Pittsburgh or Philly, Never had any trouble getting in or out. It's a wonderful deal, our kids always enjoy themselves here.

“For the bucks I paid, this hotel was perfectly suitable to my needs, and I would do it again!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 9, 2012 via mobile

I needed a quick reservation! I needed beach front, pool, decent room. Needed good restaurants nearby, as well as local attractions. I needed a low, low price, as this was not a preplanned trip. But when it comes to pleasing a long distance granddaughter, who wanted to spend her college spring break with me, her grandma, I was prepared to 'take a chance'!

The destination was Myrtle Beach. A friend had stayed at the Polynesian several years prior and had told me it would suit. So I called, and got a ridiculously low rate for two nights. The pics on the website were nice, so I booked.

We had a two night stay, and it was one of our best times! This resort is not upscale. It is not fancy smancy. But the service was great, the folks kind, and it was clean. Our room was fine, and comfortable. We had an issue with the smoke detector, but that was corrected quickly and efficiently. There was one couple staying in our building who decided to fight all the time, in and out of their room. Hotel staff quickly resolved that situation as well.

We had direct access to the beach. It was wonderful! And, we were within walking distance of restaurants and we were right at the Grand Strand.

I got more than my money's worth! Don't look for the highest level of accommodations all the time. Look for what you need, if your trip is for a special purpose, which mine was. This hotel will provide that. I will go there again...after all, I have three more granddaughters to go!
