It's an older motel, but they keep it up every year. All rooms are oceanfront and it has a little store at the corner of the building. Pet friendly and family friendly. Price is VERY reasonable! Only drawback is it's 4 floors with no elevator. I found out that if you get a suite, those are in the ground floor-fyi

Dump. Needs a total renovation. Cracked dirty floors, moldy shower, TV didn’t work, dirty AC unit. The only nice thing was the view and the showers water pressure.

We are very happy to have discovered this property, and will most definitely return. Staff are highly professional and accommodating. Private balconies face the ocean. Rooms and property very clean. Nice pool deck and the beach is walkable in both directions. Close to everything in Murrell's Inlet, Garden City, and Surfside. Good, safe distance from Myrtle Beach.

I paid for thee efficiency unit. And they're only on the bottom floor since my husband had 2 back surgeries, they have no elevator so it was yeah. Daisier, I knew I was bringing my dog and told me I couldn't have one after I paid for it because I had my dog sent me to the 3rd floor no elevator. And come to find out, my dog is 10 pounds. And they were a German Shepherd and a big book bird. Dog on the bottom floor so I don't know whether they just gave my room away. But I was not happy, will not stay again

Great location. Every room is ocean front. I didn’t like the smokers that smoked on the premises. Couldn’t sit on balcony without someone smoking around you.

Every thing was really clean. The staff was super. The only complaint, a minor, is the mattress was too hard. Other than that, this is a super nice remodel hotel.

The location is the absolutely best part of this hotel!!! High recommend!!! First floors are the best rooms to stay in. They have mini kitchens with good size fridge. We went grocery shopping and bought essentials and everything fit well. Would recommend getting paper plates and silverware and paper towel. Kitchen supplies are limited. A toaster and a spatula would be nice to have in the kitchen. The cons are the housekeeping. We only received service twice. Needed to keep getting towels and tp ourselves. Internet was sketchy. Sometimes worked and sometimes didn’t. I will go back again though based on location. Loved Lunchbox and Princetina. They were very helpful and kind. Excellent employees.
