I have stayed at this hotel multiple times as we prefer the 2 bedrooms. It is great for family or friends and especially if travelers have different sleep cycles. It is convenient to all attractions in the area. The parking is free, although you often have to park in a garage a block away but with all the good food in MB, the walk is okay! Check in can be congested for parking, but is accomplished efficently, as is check out. I would not hesitate to recommend this property for any type of traveler

Rooms were awesome. I loved the long balcony with good ocean view as well as city view. I would definitely like to stay here again and have no complaints about the hotel or its staff! The only thing I would suggest is to have their own breakfast and not have to go down the street!

We stayed almost a week. It is on the golden strand of beach, not far from downtown Myrtle Beach. It is quiet in December with many empty rooms. We were able to park close to the hotel registration the first few nights but as it filled up, we had to park a short walk and block away in a parking garage. We were given tickets for breakfast at the Magnolia Inn, just about 40 steps down the street. Breakfast was a buffet with waffles, sausages, potatoes, eggs, rolls, fruits, juice, grits, croissants in a nice atmosphere. Elevators worked quite fast. Check in was a zip and the staff are very well trained, always pleasant, helpful and willing to accomodate us. We stayed on the 18th floor in a comfortable sweet with a sideways view of the ocean. We had a full kitchen with a few items in it, a living room with large screen tv, large bathroom with washer and dryer (that was great for swimsuits, a large king bed with a door out to the balcony.) Loved seeing the ocean. Found the hotel quiet. We had a small lazy river that was a few steps away from our elevator and a hot, whirling jacuzzi. For the first few nights we enjoyed it all by ourselves with no other guests till the place filled on the weekend. The pool was outdoors and it was too cold to use. The beach was beautiful. The hotel seemed well maintained. It was Christmas time and our maid did not leave amples towels or soap. Sheets nice, pillows and bedding nicely appointed. Not a new property but well maintained. When we talked to the desk, they were very happy to help in anyway. Even workers on the elevator greeted us friendly. Liked that we had easy access to all the areas of Myrtle Beach for restaurants.

It is said that details make all the difference, and at the Best Western Plus The Carolinian, we repeatedly witnessed that here, details are very obviously top of mind. Trish at reservations was our first point of contact and made the booking process a real breeze.

After a very long drive, we received the warmest of welcomes from Richard at reception. He was prepared long before we arrived at his desk. We found our requested top-floor unit clean, well-equipped, and beyond what we had hoped for. We settled in and had a great night's sleep.

About 4 days into our vacation, there was a plumbing problem in our unit, which was behind a wall and required fairly involved remediation. We were offered a two-bedroom unit instead and to make a longish story short, were treated like royalty by the front desk staff: Jeff, Lindsay, Hope, Jenna and Richard made us feel like the most valued guests ever. This brief, unexpected interruption in our holiday was handled as seamlessly as is humanly possible. Bravo!

Here are the salient points of our excellent unit: clean, clean, clean! Our bed had a pillow-top mattress, with perfect, heavy sheets and after a busy day of walking, shopping and exploring, proved a joy to sink into. The kitchen was well equipped, the overall décor very pleasing to the eye, everything worked, and, if something didn't, the staff were extremely responsive and fixed it in the blink of an eye. We were also very impressed with the less visible staff who labor every day to make holidays smooth: Chris, J.D., Polo, Josh, Terry and Ronald deserve special mention. On many mornings, when we stopped at the coffee station prior to our walk, Polo greeted us and we had many enjoyable conversations; on a few occasions when we needed help, J.D. was absolutely amazing- a gentleman in every sense of the word...and Chris was at our side in mere minutes when the plumbing malfunctioned and we instantly felt that we were in good hands.

Many thanks for a truly marvelous vacation! This excellent team is second to none.
