This Was A Average Older Resort In Myrtle Beach. Rooms Are Okay. Ocean Front Rooms Was A Plus. Price Was Up Because of Bike Week. Had To Pay $100 Cash To Hold My Key. Most Hotels Just put it on Your Credit Card. Okay To Stay But Not The Best Choice Can Not Add Much More Information

Let me start by saying this is in no way shape or form a 5 star resort but it doesn’t advertise that it is so I was not expecting that. I was looking for an affordable lodging that was clean and comfortable and the Polynesian was just that. Because of the money I saved on my room me and my husband were able to go out to several amazing restaurants and we got to do all of the activities we wanted to do in Myrtle Beach and I definitely thank the Polynesian for that! I did not see any roaches or other bugs and the staff were all very friendly and helpful :)

Wouldn’t recommend to anyone! Workers are very rude, room was nothing but cock roaches and broken door, water leaks, had to pay a cleaning “resort” fee for 76.00 also a $100.00 deposit that was refundable, and wasn’t told this til we arrived and nothing was clean! I’m never the type of person to complain or leave bad reviews but this experience was absolutely ridiculous!!!! Never got any sleep because other people yelling, cussing, blasting music, etc.

I am so sorry to hear that your stay with us was less than you expected, and I am thankful that you've taken the time to leave us this review. I have reviewed video from 5/18 and do see where you made a report of one of your issues at check out. Our guest services agent quickly forwarded that information to our maintenance department while you were still in the lobby. I am unable to locate a report of the other issues you've made note of in your review. If these were reported at a different time and not attended to, I offer my most sincere apologies. It would be our standard protocol to offer to move you to another room or another property with reports of this nature. Our Director of Maintenance has been made aware today and will see to it that they are fixed properly. I will also be having our Internet Services team double check all of our third party listings to ensure that our long standing policies regarding resort fees and damage deposits are properly displayed. I am sorry if any changes to those listings have been made that would not present these items clearly to our future guests. Thank you again for your review. Your feedback is truly appreciated!

This is the first review I've ever written and sadly it will not be a good one. I get that this building is older and I wouldn't expect every little thing to be perfect but I also wouldn't expect part of the ceiling to fall down onto the floor during the night and to have water coming into the room. This is what happened in room 802. In addition, nothing is really kept very clean. I stayed in room 803 and the very first thing I noticed when entering the room was a stain on one of the comforters. Also, there was no hot water to the kitchen sink and the hot water faucet in the bath tub didn't work right. The toilet ran all night so you can imagine how annoying that was. Just all around this hotel isn't a good place to stay even if you're just looking for basic clean and comfortable.

Thank you for taking the time to voice your concerns with your recent stay with us. We are terribly sorry for any inconvenience you experienced while at the property. Maintenance issues are often unexpected and we apologize if this issue proved bothersome to you during your stay. After reviewing our records I do see that you contacted our front desk on the morning of 5/18 regarding the leak issue that occurred the night before, and at that time our staff offered to move you to another room. Our records indicate that this option was declined and we were advised that our staff could repair after your check out. Moving rooms can be a hassle, and I fully understand your desire not to take us up on this option. I assure you that our staff would have been happy to assist with moving any items necessary to provide a seamless transition from one room to another. I am unable to locate any reported maintenance or housekeeping issues for room 803, but I would like to extend my most sincere apologies for the issues that you have described in your review. I know that our team would have gladly taken care of these issues had we been notified. I will make sure these issues and concerns are brought to the attention of the appropriate department heads for further review and discussion with staff. Again, many thanks for your review. The feedback is always appreciated, as it is the best way for us to continue to make improvements for our guests.

I was ready to give one star due to pest control issues. Shawnette made it all better! She listened to my complaint, moved my family to a different room, had maintenance come out to the previous room and above all, Shawnette was empathetic, professional and courteous. She apologized for our inconvenience and fixed the problem immediately. She’s a keeper who deserves a handsome raise. The night attendant I spoke with before Shawnette was nonchalant and seemed as if she didn’t care. Shawnette goes above and beyond!

Wonderful experience. If you’re looking for a nice little getaway without breaking the bank. Of course it’s not 5 stars but needless to say I fully enjoyed our stay. Loved it room as well! It’s within walking distance to an ice cream shop and quite a few places to eat.

Pro's -
The guy at the front desk was very helpful
They offered to stow our luggage for us until we could check in

Con's -
The pictures they show on travel sites don't match what you get
You get actual keys
Deadbolt was broken
Toilet kept backing up
Window a/c with no air flow so only the kitchen was cold
Indoor pool had no air flow and smelled. Can only imagine what bacteria was growing in there
To get to the outdoor pool/ocean you have to walk down a creepy dark hallway in the basement (where they had rooms...gross), through the parking garage, and then another dark hallway
Smelled weed everywhere
Saw a man doing cocaine at the outdoor pool
The outdoor pool area had broken glass and garbage, and at least one lounger smelled like urine
Curtains had holes all over it
Only bugs I saw were in that creepy hallway
Elevators didn't work
