Well.. ehh.. It is cool to next to beach, I mean, less a minute to walk there. Its cool to watch sunrise & sunset, that's definitely cool. But... Front desk closed at 5pm. Have to walk over to Windsurfer front desk to pick up key. Dumb. I expect that they would close at like 8pm. Smh. Whatever. Rooms face sea view is pretty nice. Face to pool view is ew. I would recommend y'all to get a room that is sea view (as if u book that place) Bed mattress itself is somewhat comfortable. Blanket, sheets & pillow is not bad. Thick fluffy pillows that makes me uncomfortable. Need little firm that I can zzz better. AC is ok, not blast cold as I expect but its breeze enough. Problem is.. I found 2 bedbugs, 3 roaches on the floor, & showerhead is NOT design for 6'2" guy!!! Jeez. Pool ? Suck. At least they have some beach chairs for sunbath to get tan on. Soda machine outside ate my coins. Im like **** you, coins didnt return. Forget it. Parking lot? Crowded! Lucky for me that I parked, stay there & walk. Boardwalk attractions is only 15 mins walking distance is not bad. They need to do something about bedbugs, roaches & beds. Disappointing. Yea, .. I could give one but two stars just because of walking distance to beach & attractions, affordable room to book & sea view. read more

Admiral Motor Inn - View from Admiral Motor Inn on pool view.. nice but pool view. Eh. - Hotels Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Really would not stay here ever again. Parking: we were here in the off-season and the parking lot was full. We had to park about two blocks away in a parking lot that was lit but seemed dangerous place to leave your car. Check in: the lady at the check-in was very rude. Not sure her name but she's blonde and rather large. She was very dismissive and difficult to deal with. When I asked where to park she kept pointing to somewhere across the street but then got annoyed because I couldn't figure out exactly where she was pointing. She just kept pointing in one direction and saying over there. Room: probably the worst room I have ever stayed in, in my life. The beds were not comfortable. There was no hot water. Probably one step above a jail cell. Although I'm sure prisons have hot water read more

Admiral Motor Inn - Ducks - Hotels Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

See all

This tiny establishment is squished into a small lot, hampered by utility equipment. The rooms are modest in size, with microwave, full size refrigerator and coffee maker (no coffee). There is insufficient parking and there is usually no one at the front desk; generally available by phone. There is a pool located in the parking area, which makes for a strange juxtaposition of auto exhaust, people coming and going. The soda machines were broken as was quite a bit more. The mold in the bathroom was upstaged by the tile work that consistently fell short... There was an insect, possibly infant roach, in the complimentary cup, which was still in the plastic wrapper. Sixteen of the rooms had direct unobstructed view of the ocean, there was a boardwalk to the beach, there was a pier, bait shop and restaurant within walking distance. The rest of the Myrtle back mecca was within a mile. Myrtle beach seems to be a haven for the substandard lodging, so this place is probably not that far below median. It is unclear why they have such great reviews. read more

My family and I have been coming to this place off and on for over 20 years. This place is the best value on the strip for my money. It's constantly renovated and very clean, they are always improving this place each time I go back. There are other hotels I've been to in this area that are stuck in a time warp and resemble something from the 50s or 60s and have the same plumbing fixtures etc. from those periods as well. The ownership here really does a good job to keep this place looking current. Most importantly though are how wonderful the views are from here, it's also very close to one of the best piers I've ever been to. Not to mention it's right in the middle of everything so there are fun things to do in just a very short walk, even a nice amusement park is nearby. That pier though coupled with the low rates here will always keep me coming back. The Admiral is truly what going to Myrtle Beach is all about, it's a relaxing get away where you can plan your adventures from. Getting an oceanfront view is a must too, sitting on the balcony and drinking a Corona with some lime just listening to those relaxing waves from ocean will put you into a state of euphoria. A late night adventure on the pier after that will make your trip to Myrtle Beach all the more memorable too. read more

The good: The phrase "motor inn" often conjures up images of shady ass places with bulletholes in the doors, cigarette burns on the sheets, strands of hair in the drains, and c*m stains on the chairs. "Motor inn" makes you think of places where grimy truckers shack up for a night with their lot lizard in rooms where a black light would cause the place to light up like Electric Daisy Carnival. Not here! This place is truth in advertising and truly is the admiral of motor inns. Manager Sean is really nice and made the check-in and check-out an absolute breeze. Parking at any of their three lots is free. Wi-Fi is free and worked smoothly. A/C blew cold. Pool access is free. Room size is impressive for a sub-100 dollar a night motor inn and felt more like a small apartment than a motel room. I had a poolside room for 70 bucks a night and the boardwalk is maybe 20 meters away at most. We simply wanted a place to sh*t, shower, and shave without having to deal with bugs, degenerates, or being 17 miles from the main drag. This is a mom-and-pop shop that beats out the big boxes in many ways and fit our needs perfectly. Some of the other motels on the main drag charge under 50 dollars per night but you can tell from the shabby exteriors and the lowlives hanging out in front that those are not places you'd want to stay. I was shocked at how tidy the Admiral Motor Inn was and I need to talk about it a little more. I've stayed at hotels worth three times this much in NYC and the rooms were not this well kept. We had a full size refrigerator and I cringed when opening it in anticipation of a science project horror show. I was sorely mistaken because the fridge was SPOTLESS inside. The same went for the microwave, A/C filter, bathroom, carpet, towels, tub, and pretty much everything else in our room. This was one of the cleanest lodging facilities I ever stayed at in the country and that's coming from a man with crippling cleanliness OCD. Protip: Many motor inns and budget motels throughout the country often house vagrants/homeless and other unsavory clientele. Flip through the Expedia/Yelp/TripAdvisor/Google reviews of any hotel/motel/Holiday Inn and make sure you never stay at a place that reportedly serves as any sort of shelter. The bad: The facility is rather dated and the cinderblock room was a time warp to spring break 1993. I swear it even smells exactly like summer '93 in there. Sink was ratty. Old fashioned fuzzy television set, old fashioned fridge, ancient ten ton wood furniture your great grandma had when you were a kid. This isn't necessarily a bad thing though because it helps keep the price down for those of us who don't care about worthless crap like "free" breakfast, room service, valets, or a big-box name brand. Again, this is a mom-and-pop shop whose sole purpose is to give you a room with a shower to wash off sand in after a day at the beach, and a clean bed to sleep in after you're tired from swimming. That's all! The ugly: The following things are are not the facility's fault so I am not deducting any stars but you ought to know: The area is party city and gets pretty noisy especially after dark. Granted, we went during Bike Week 2016 so I guess revving engines, blasting stereos, and peeling rubber are to be expected but at one point at around 2AM there was a flash mob of about 40 kids in the hotel parking lot blasting gangsta rap and dancing on a BMW's roof while swigging vodka from bottles as a sea of followers recorded it on their cellphones and cheered. I'm from NYC so I'm used to seeing asshattery but it was going on within a few feet of my parked car and the facility staff was long gone for the night so I was getting a little nervous. Thankfully nothing happened and the kids buzzed off but maybe the owners should put a flashlight cop/square badger there at night to prevent anything stupid. In conclusion: It's cheap, clean, friendly, and steps from the boardwalk. Would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat. read more

Admiral Motor Inn housekeeping and/or management staff entered my locked room and stole my prescription drugs and silver coins, even though I specifically asked for NO housekeeping that day. When confronted about the theft, I got guilty looks, nervous actions and empty promises to "make things right" from the manager Teresa Devalle. According to the "Trip Advisor" and "Yahoo" motel reviews, this is supposed to be one of the best "mom and pop" motels on the beach. It IS in a great location, but that is about the only thing is has going for it. The motel manager Teresa Devalle seemed pleasant enough on the surface, but once I reported my prescription drugs and silver coins were stolen, she began acting all nervous and irritable and was trying to avoid me like I was bothering her by reporting the incident to the Myrtle Beach Police. Teresa's husband Joe Devalle told the responding officer that he overheard Teresa's daughter Crystal Linn Hamilton and her husband Brandon Hamilton discussing selling my silver coins at Dick's Pawn Shop on Joe White Avenue. The Myrtle Beach Police followed up on this lead and found and confiscated my silver coins. Crystal Hamilton was then charged and subsequently convicted of theft for stealing my coins from my motel room and her husband Brandon Hamilton was charged and convicted of fraud for misrepresenting himself as the owner of my stolen coins. Now that the court case is over, my coins have been returned to me. Go to the "Myrtle Beach Police - Police to Citizen Portal" and search for case # 12021780 or go here to review the incident report: http://p2c.cityofmyrtlebeach.com/p2c/viewreport.aspx?id=634971268892361018 I posted a motel review on "Trip Advisor" titled "Prescription Drugs Stolen" and Teresa responded with a pack of lies. My review was posted only two months (Dec 2012) after my stay (Oct 2012), not seven months like she stated in her response. She says they have never had a problem with theft before, but there is/was a sign on the office counter warning guests of previous thefts and to keep all their valuables locked up at all times. Too bad I didn't see that sign until AFTER my valuables were stolen. And her daughter was not only charged, but CONVICTED of theft and her son-in-law was charged and convicted of theft. http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g54359-d1479174-r147344827-Admiral_Motor_Inn-Myrtle_Beach_South_Carolina.html#CHECK_RATES_CONT Stay at the Admiral Motor Inn if you must, just be forewarned to keep all valuables on you at all times. You can not trust the hotel management and staff to stay out of your locked room and away from your valuables while you are enjoying your vacation. read more

I love it... Of course you can't compare Lux Hotel. It wasn't boring. It was clean and comfortable. The owners of the hotel are very sweet women. I would recommend it to you. read more

Enjoyed our stay at the Admiral very much. A clean, basic, pet friendly room with an ocean view, and a good price is what we were looking to get and that's what we got. Beautiful ocean views and steps away from the new boardwalk make this a great choice. It is also very close to the Second Avenue Pier. One of the few older hotels left that are nice. Joe and Theresa were very accommodating and friendly. We will be back! read more

I stayed in the Admiral Inn Aug 12-15, and was VERY pleased with what we got for a great price!! We booked same-day when we arrived and got a good rate. The rooms were very clean and well-stocked. It came with a kitchenette, which made me regret that our stay wasn't longer! It is RIGHT on the beach - no need to cross busy streets or lug your stuff around for a long walk. The wifi wasn't the best connection, but it really only gave me trouble a few times, and the most important things I was doing online we're Facebook and Instagram. The staff were very friendly and inviting. I will 100% look to stay here again the next time I find myself in Myrtle Beach! read more

Your Family and You can stay here for a very good price and still have money to go out and have a good time. The Employees are very polite! Rooms are clean and nice! GREAT FAMILY PLACE! I WILL BE STAYING HERE AGAIN NEXT TIME WE VISIT MYRTLE BEACH! read more

The room was pretty basic, but clean and comfortable. Wi-Fi was slow. Also, my reserved room style was not honored. Reserved ocean view, received pool view. Not quite the same thing, and the price was not modified to reflect this "downgrade". read more

My husband and I just cam back from a beach trip and stayed here! It was great for the price we got paid! I figured with it being a lot cheaper then most places it would be a little crappy but it wasn't at all. Comfy beds and huge pillows!!! Will definitely stay here again! read more

Just came back from our stay at the Admiral Motor Inn yesterday and I must say we came home very disappointed, compared to our previous stay two years ago. To start it off we arrive in our room to a barely cooling a/c unit. The room stays a little on the warm side especially with 80+ degree weather. The bathroom has no air vent to bring in cool air so when you take a shower or even go in to fix your hair you began to sweat profusely! The tub looks very dingy and could use a update, honestly the whole bathroom could! Once we decided to go out on the beach we were greeted with smelly, disgusting, leaking bags of guests garbage, leaking into the parking lot where hotel guests are parked! Who wants someones garbage juices leaking right beside their car?? Very filthy! You could smell the garbage all around the building. Does management not care about their guests having to step over that? What if someone steps in it not knowing what it is and gets it on their bare feet? DISGUSTING! Two years ago when we stayed at the hotel we never once saw garbage left in the parking lot and the motel was a whole lot cleaner! Once you come back from the beach to wash off the sand you are stuck with a cheap water sprayer, duck taped together right behind, once again the motel guests vehicles which leaves open the opportunity for someone to damage your car while rinsing off. If you leave the hotel and come back once its dark you might as well forget finding a decent parking space! You will be forced to park across the street in front of a dark, closed, run down hotel. One night while we are there we had to pay to park at the public access, so that we wouldn't have to park behind the run down hotel with our car not in sight. We didn't feel comfortable at all having our car left out there over night. We also have a two year old and had to cross the very busy street with him in our arms, risking our safety. The hotel also claims to offer free WiFi but you can never get a connection. I tried every night I was there and was never able to use the WiFi. The TV also was in and out the whole stay. Watching a show involved bad reception and lines constantly running down the TV. You might as well forget getting decent sleep because I was woken up multiple times between 2 and 3 am by my drunk neighbor banging and slamming her door and yelling. I called the counter hoping to have a contact number but was just put through to a recording. If a hotel is ran properly, there should be a direct number to management to handle problems associated with their customers no matter what the hour. As I said before if you have visited the motel in the past, don't expect it to be the same this visit! We left very disappointed and wish that we had spent our money on a better, cleaner hotel. We will never return to this hotel again! read more
