We decided last minute to go to Myrtle Beach for a short getaway. We wanted to go some where warm and on the beach and this worked out perfectly. The weather was great - low 80s. We wanted to go somewhere that was more upscale than the usual condo-type place. This has to be one of the nicer places on Myrtle Beach. What was great was that the place had slowed down. No kids around to speak of. As mentioned the pools were really nice. The indoor pool was a great temperature and there was plenty of room in the hot tubs. The pool bar, the Cove, was open and serving drinks and food - expensive food/drink - but so relaxing to be served on the nice cushy lounge chairs. The service was very nice at the bar - since it wasn't crowded, the servers spent time chatting and taking extra steps. This was true at breakfast, which was an expensive breakfast buffet ~$16.00 person. The buffet was very extensive though: home made waffles and omelets, various eggs, salmon and bagels, muffins, grits and oatmeal. We enjoyed ourselves. Our room was at the very top of the Marriott hotel on the fifteenth floor facing the ocean. It was a great view, but although there were sliding doors, there really wasnt much of a balcony. You needed to be on lower floors facing the ocean to have good balconies. However, we really liked the room, which had a very high, deep king-size bed with lots of pillows. It had a refrigerator, coffee and flat screen TV. Strangely, there was no HBO or in-room movies. The room was a bit run down for the cost -$224 a night. Housekeeping was only okay. I wish that housekeeping had replaced all the worn down 'paper' items, like the breakfast menu, the 'unused' soap which was in boxes that saw better days, the notepad which was dog-eared. I, too, object to having to pay for wifi and parking. But it was a nice place and a nice break.

We had one night to stay in Myrtle Beach and chose the Marriott. Great choice. It was off season so there were not a lot of guests besides two business groups. The rooms were nice and we were given ocean views. I was able to get up and watch the sunrise from mine. The weather was super and we enjoyed the outside bar and watch the people walk and bike on the beach. It was interesting to see that at low tide the beach was hard enough for biking and many folks took advantage. The Marriott was a good location, provided great service (including free shuttle service to local restaurants and bars), and nice rooms. Although we didn't take advantage, they had several pools and a nice gym. I plan to return with the family.

Although this hotel is a bit more expensive than most chains in the area, it was comfortable, clean and very quiet in the rooms. The negatives are they charge to use WiFi and to use the computers in the business center and they charge to park your car (whether by valet, or self parking). The price should have covered all these areas.
