The day person at front desk was excellent! Our only complaint was the lights that come on at night are so bright they illuminate the whole room and it was difficult to get sleep! I would recommend less wattage in the lights and darkening curtains for the windows

The room was extremely small for the price we paid. But, very nice location with easy beach access. We were not too fond of the breakfast options, but were thankful for the opportunity.

The location in regards to the beach was excellent. The limited parking on site was frustrating as it was an extra charge and the designated overflow lot was a block away and the limited parking was not informed prior to check-in. The bed was uncomfortable and a metal springs mattress. The walls were also very thin. My husband sneezed and set the neighboring dog into a barking frenzy.

The rooms badly needed remodeling. Breakfast was extremely basic. Staff was hit or miss on helpfulness. Very limited places to sit around the property. Best part was proximity to the beach.

The property is run down and very little is being done to make it look like a property sitting on some of the most expensive beaches in SC. We changed rooms twice and still had issues with the toilet, door and deadbolt. Rooms are VERY small. TV was terrible connection and TV was tiny. I go to IOP a fair amount. My first try at this property..... And last!

Room smelled like bleach. Made us feel like it was clean but too strong. The window blind was broken. I had to put something in the window. Otherwise it wasn’t bad. Bathroom could use updating.

Jake at the front desk was the only positive in our experience. He was very customer service oriented. Held out bags and helped with information to enjoy our stay. That being said - When we were eventually able to check in it was another male employee - the night guy obviously and in need of a customer service class. We did not get the room we thought we rented (King/Oceanview) - then our room (206) had mold in the bathroom and an awful odor (mold/butane smell). Tried to air out and when we returned from dinner the plaster from the ceiling in the bathroom had fallen on the floor and another room by us that was unrented had the door left unsecured (210) - which we reported at the same time as the plaster issue. Tried to give us the "open" room (210) - which we declined - and gave us an "upgrade" to a partial view room (214) - no help offered to change rooms (could have offered the baggage cart) but on our own mind you 10:30pm - moved rooms - door did not open all the way so had to maneuver luggage to the right - close door to go left to get around. Deadbolt not working - The recessed light in the bathroom was a little too recessed/we could see the insulation/wires in the ceiling and the toilet was not secured to the floor - still had shims under it - that could have been a mess. The hotel looks nothing like the pictures - paint chipping - plaster chunking off everywhere - odors - nothing like what was expected. Very Disappointed!!

Will not stay again

When we first got to the small room we sat on the bed and a roach ran across and jumped off the bed. The office/breakfast area roof had a bad leak that was leaking rain water on the bagels.

We have stayed there before, we had weekend shows at the WindJammer. We were told by Expedia we had an Oceanfront room. Not what we got, toilet was running when we got in, my husband fixed that. The shower curtain did not fit. There was a flood every time we showered. Rust holes in the bathroom. I only agreed to stay there for the Oceanfront room, which they told me Expedia doesn’t have the rights to sell. Sorry not happy at all. For the price I paid I would have gone somewhere else. 100 percent.
