Very family oriented. Parking is very tight and gets full at times. Staff are nice and hard working. I imagine it is hard to stay on top of elevator cleanliness but the staff give it a good effort. At no time was I out of my room when I didn't see one of the staff cleaning up after the guestsor their children.

I took my daughter, 4 grandkids ages 11,10,6,4 and my 71 year old dad on vacation. We stayed in Tower 1. Booked two rooms. First room ready at check in at 2:30pm took about 30 minutes to check in. I asked if we could upgrade to a two bedroom as I was willing to pay extra was told no because I booked through Expedia told to come back at 4pm to check into the other room as it was not ready yet. Went back at 4 and that took 45 minutes to check in again. Food at the restaurant was terrible, line to long to get a drink at the tiki bar. Hard to keep up with four kids at the Waterpark with the layout, one elevator was not working in tower 1, granddaughter went to the ER due to an injury at the waterpark. My father’s room key did not work half the time and had to call maintenance. Our door to our room never even locked!! Parking was not the best and hard to find a cart for suitcases. I could go on and on about this hotel. Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Only good thing about this hotel is the location.

Everything at the hotel, bar, restaurants etc, are all severely understaffed. 20-30 min to get one drink at the tiki bar. There are no bathrooms near pools we had to go up to our rooms every time. And the water slide stairs have a door at each level and with the parking lot right there I can’t believe kids are not abducted on a regular basis!

Terrible Experience – Never Again! Our stay at Crown Reef Resort in Myrtle Beach was a complete disappointment from start to finish. We specifically booked adjoining rooms and went out of our way to call and email multiple times to confirm this request. Upon arrival, we were told that our adjoining rooms were not available, with no real apology or effort to correct the situation. To make matters worse, adult sex toys were found in the elevator and, despite reporting it, they remained there until the next day – absolutely unacceptable and a clear sign of poor housekeeping and management standards. Both of our suites had toilets that ran all night, indicating a lack of maintenance and care for the rooms. This place feels like a “one and done” stop for many guests, and we can see why. We will never stay here again, nor would we ever recommend this facility to anyone. Crown Reef Resort – do better! You give “Dirty Myrtle” validation!

It’s ok especially for the location

The room was not clean. They put us in the wrong room. We booked a king bed suite and her gave us two queen beds. Tub, floors, walls, curtains, and kitchen was dirty. Found old food and crumbs on the floor. Beds were comfortable. They do respond fast when you need things. For the price on this site, it’s worth it for the most part. Don’t expect a lot. The price on their actual site is like double. If I had booked on there, it would’ve been a problem. I dealt with the issues due to the price being decent on here.
