idk if you can tell but the boardwalk is back there.. we waited til late to go to the water

Hey, I'm Kj. If you're looking for a comfortable, simple spot to relax w a city view and ocean view from your balcony, I'd choose this place. We loved it last year. Thinking about going back. Also, it's cheap This is my first photo from our first night.

View from 11th floor

We had a suite, 2 beds, a full kitchen, a bathroom, and an amazing view from the balcony on the 11th floor. We only stayed 2 nights, and honestly, we loved the location. It's out of the way but still in the middle of all the action. There's a bar and grill right in front of the hotel so you don't have to go far for entertainment. Music is loud and invites party goers. The hotel has parking and it's free! There is extra parking if the parking is not available in front of the hotel. Also parking all around (parking meter) is available, and other paid parking. Check-in is exactly at 4 pm. No early check-ins because we asked if we could check in (around 2:50pm). Credit or cash is accepted as payment for security deposit. We paid (debit) $150, which takes about 2-10 days to receive the security deposit provided that the room is in acceptable conditions. Credit, debit, and cash are accepted. One rule for the room is that no seafood is allowed to be cooked in the room. It is understandable as it can stink up the place. You are also responsible for cleaning your own dishes, or additional charges will be added to your bill. There is a little sign by the sink that is posted to remind you of the responsibility. 4 pillows were provided for each of the beds, and the pillows were pretty great! Our room had a connected door to another room, so if you're traveling with kids, extra people and would like to stay together but still have your own space and privacy, check in with the front desk or call them (we checked the door and it was connected to another room, the door was locked from the other side). The only negative part of our stay here is the shower. There is not enough water pressure from the shower head to even enjoy a shower, I mean, it does the job, but still. Customer service was great, friendly, and fast check in, they even allowed us to use the restroom or use the pool until we were ready to check in (we only used the restroom). There's a mini market by the check-in counter, I'm talking about snacks and drinks only sold here. There are sitting areas inside the lobby, one elevator that takes you to all the floors, I think the 4th or 5th floor will have access to the laundry room. I paid about close to $460 (on Booking.com) and $150 for security deposit ( I will update on this one as i have not received it yet). We asked about a late checkout, and they said yes, we can checkout late, but with an extra charge, we checked out at 11am (which is the normal time to check out). I checked out at the front lobby, and it seems like all they need is your room number, drop off your key, and you are good to go and this was all word of mouth. No final receipt handed or anything to show you are "checked out." Would I recommend Aqua Beach Inn? Yes, it was a good experience for me. Would I stay here again? Yes. Enjoy your stay and have fun. Aloha

5 stars for the location and price ratio! Everything else is two stars for a two star hotel, three at best. There were some bad moments and some highlights as well. We had to try four different rooms before we could accept one with acceptable standard upon check in. The first room was not cleaned, as in beds not made, trash cans full, and towels all over the bathroom floor. The second room was absolutely stinking of smoke, it could seriously trigger someone's asthma. We stayed one night in the third room offered, this was an executive room upgrade on the 9th floor. In this room there is a door that says 'Employees Only' and at night it makes a really loud clanky sound noise every 15 minutes. I don't know if it's a boiler room, why would you put such a maintenance type of room inside a guest room? What were you thinking? It was impossible to sleep with this noise. Front desk was apologetic through all the room switching and were trying their best. The fourth room was also an executive room, this time on the eleventh floor. The ocean views are awesome! You can see the full ocean and gaze all the way to Portugal with only a little bit of imagination. You have a view of the beach, the sand dunes, the bustling life passing by on Ocean Boulevard and people walking by the sky high hotel buildings, giving a city by the ocean feel. There is a balcony with two chairs and a table where you can take all of this scenery in. It can get a little bit loud at night as you are close to some night life. The Beach Grill opposite the hotel is a big biker hangout and they like to make noise with their bikes. This was obviously the case during Bike Week. Not a big deal, as long as you can live with the noise until midnight. The room had plenty of space, some rooms have more sink counter space than others. The phone was not working. Two cereal bowls were very dirty. We were only given decaf coffee in the room. The fridge was set at minimum temperature. Don't know if housekeeping does this to save electricity, but a note to notify of that would have been nice. You get a full kitchenetre with stove, microwave, fridge and freezer, sink and all the cutlery for cooking and plates and utensils. The beds are super comfortable. Puts my bed at home to shame. Shower pressure is good. One of the towels had had faint black marks and another towel had a lump of hair in it. There is only one elevator, which at one time was not working. They really do need two elevators, but this is a maneagable minor detail. The lobby is partly renovated and still going through a renovation phase. At the moment the lobby has a somewhat empty and unfinished feel to it. There is tea/coffee available 24/7 in the lobby. I enjoyed just grabbing a cup and go straight to the beach in my flip flops. The hotel is not ocean front, you have to cross two streets to get to the beach and board walk. The first one is Withers alley, which hardly ever has any traffic and the second one is Ocean Blvd which has a lot of fun stuff. Traffic is slow, so no problem crossing, hotel to boardwalk is only a two minute walk. The outdoor pool is nice for a swim, 5'1 depth. The hot tub was indeed hot, but didn't look clean as I saw some bugs floating around in it. Pool towels, like in most hotels, are the size big enough to dry a 10-year old boy. They don't offer breakfast, which is fine with me because I like to bring my own healthier version. I was a bit annoyed about having to switch rooms so many times and felt like a Benny Hill clip rolling my bag between floors every 10 minutes. This organizational mess caused me to lose some valuable time at my long anticipated vacation destination. The staff are accommodating though and will try to make things right. But they need to review their cleaning system. If a room is smoky upon maid service checkout, make a note to not give it to customers until the smoke has been cleaned. If the maid didn't get a chance to clean a room yet, guests should not be checking in to that room. Overall, I enjoyed my stay a lot. Aqua Beach Inn gave me some mixed experiences, but I would still recommend.

I'll give this hotel 4 stars for the location which is across the street within walking distance of the beach and in the middle of various restaurants and attractions. ***The front desk clerk Anna was very nice, professional and patient. So far, I've only stayed one night & endured enough f!ckery to begin writing this review so it may change. We booked this hotel not even 2 weeks ago, it was the only hotel near the beach that wasn't sold out. The reviews on TripAdvisor were decent so despite the inflated price for a Myrtle Beach hotel we decided to give it a go. We should've filtered the results and checked Yelp before proceeding but that's neither here nor there at this point. I arrived a few hours earlier than my friend (she booked the room) and a few hours before normal check in time hoping that our room would be available early however, it wasn't so I decided to walk around to check out the scenery. Normal check in time is 4pm. I don't recall what time I was given keys to the first room but it was a little after 4. Upon entering the first room, I immediately noticed that it hadn't been cleaned. The bed wasn't made up, the trash in the bathroom hadn't been emptied and there were dirty towels still on the bathroom floor, just trifling & disgusting! I immediately went down to inform the staff at the front desk. The employee seemed bewildered & in disbelief (girl please ) and went to check the room. Upon her return she told me that I'd have to wait another 30-45 mins for housekeeping to clean another room. While waiting in the lobby I overheard employees in the back yelling and cursing damn near on the verge of going to blows. By this time it was going on 5pm and my friend was on her way. The front desk mentioned that they would offer a discount for the first night's stay, the discount was only $35. Around 5:30, an hour and a half after normal check in time I was given keys to another room. The rooms need updating but the balcony view is decent as it faces the beach and you can see the muddy ocean. The windows are very cloudy and could stand to be thoroughly cleaned. My friend sprayed down EVERYTHING from the door knobs, remotes, ligh to the bed with disinfectant spray The couch and chairs are filthy (you can see the dirt) and needs to be cleaned like with a cleaning extractor. We had our room keys replaced 3-4x. Do not put the keys near your phone or other cards or it will demagnetize. There was a kitchenette with a refrigerator, microwave and 2 burner stovetop which is a plus. The bed was comfortable. The Wifi does not work with the Roku TV because they're currently switching services or routers etc. but it will work on mobile phones and tablets. They do not offer breakfast, there's no restaurant on site but there are plenty within walking distance. The pool goes up to 5 1/2 feet & there's also a 3ft hot tub. Pool opens around 9/9:30am. It's our last day and here are a few things to consider when traveling / staying in hotels. Check the towels and linen to ensure they're actually clean. We had to request a new set of towels in addition to toilet paper. Bring your own! This includes linens (blankets, pillow cases, wash cloths, towels). Bring a can of disinfectant spray or wipes and cleaning spray to clean the bathtub / shower yourself - wear shower shoes if you choose not to clean the tub / shower. Overall I enjoyed the trip, not so much the accommodations but that's what happens when you book last minute. Lesson learned.

no signs

Deposit scammers,Don't be fooled I watch them steal my Deposit and another guest as well.i have 2 kids and a pregnant wife on my wife's birthday weekend and they ruined it saying the room smelled like smoke.Their facility policy says you can smoke outside but then say you can't.Not one sign at this INN says no smoking.Not on the room doors or anywhere else.If I were you do not try the balcony and if you smoked outside before coming in then throw on cologne.My recommendations is find a better place.You'll end up spending it anyways

View from room

Friendly staff, clean rooms and within walking distance of almost everything. A great place for the price

Bill M.

So checkin was easy. Amanda at the front desk was so nice and took good care of us. We got a corner room which was bigger than the others with a living room area. Really nice. WiFi was strong but just make sure to ask for the password when you check in. Room was clean and the big fridge was a nice to have item. For the price this is a pretty decent place to stay.

Balcony view at night

This was our first time staying at Aqua Beach Inn and we will definitely make this our go-to hotel in Myrtle Beach when we come back. The hotel is completely remodeled with really cool areas set up in the foyer for Instagram worthy pics. Our room was very reasonably priced, super clean, spacious (our room had an extra sitting area as you enter - with a loveseat and chair) and what an incredible view from every floor! Fully functioning kitchen area was great as we could quickly prepare meals for the kids or heat up left overs from our dinner out the night before. The staff was very helpful and friendly greeting us everyday and providing directions/advice on attractions. Best location too ... one block from the sand and the SkyWheel with restaurants and shops across the street. We never had to use our rental car!

Two queen size beds with four pillows.

We stayed here for 4 nights right before Memorial Day weekend with my husband, our 19-month-old…read moreson, and my sister (who helped with occasional babysitting). We ended up loving it so much that we decided to extend our stay for an extra night. The location was honestly perfect. There was a Walmart nearby, the boardwalk and boardwalk mall were close, and there were plenty of restaurants within a short distance. The beach access was in a great spot, and the entire area felt very clean and safe. The outside pool area was modern, well maintained, and very inviting. The breakfast advertised in the lobby definitely lived up to expectations. Every morning there was a fresh breakfast along with a fun waffle-making station, which we really enjoyed. The staff throughout the hotel were extremely friendly and welcoming. There was also a restaurant on the main floor with a great atmosphere, and the food was very good. There were only two downsides during our stay. The kids' splash pad -- one of the main reasons we booked this hotel -- was unfortunately out of service the entire time due to needing a new pump. We understood that these things happen. The other issue was that the rugs in the room did not seem very clean. We ended up keeping our shoes on in the room, so it wasn't a huge issue for us personally. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely book this hotel again

Lots of seating, fun accommodations for children, and pool towel rentals are also available. Direct access from the pool to the beach. Loved there was a spot to rinse off the sand from beach upon entering the pool area. One of the staff members gave great restaurant recommendations. Now, the bad. You have to pay for parking. It was additional $60 for 2 nights, but through a QRC code, not on your hotel bill. There was an extra $100 (exact) tacked onto my bill after checking in. Nobody told me where this $100 came from. So, I'm now assuming a security deposit? Will it be refunded when I check out? I asked 2 different representatives, and nobody directly told me what it was for. (Edit: it was refunded, but I wished somebody said so) I would have cancelled, but was not in a position to find another hotel. The a/c unit barely worked. We were sweating during the night. The paint on the ceiling above my shower was peeling off. That's in the video I posted. We were on the 4th floor, and had to go to the 3rd for ice. It would have been nice to know that as well. We were given a wristband to wear for use of the amenities, but nobody was wearing them, and nobody was checking for them either. Overall, I won't be staying here again.

There were no accommodations made for our inconvenience. Although they did have a room set up on the second floor for Members Only breakfast. You couldn't even get a donut and coffee, but they want you to spend 15 Thousand dollars to transfer to their program. Then we take the train to DC and their time share is on the top 2 floors of an Embassy Suites. Confusing even if they did have a separate room upstairs to check in. We got wrong information. We were there 3 days and there was no water in the room, ice or cleaning that we were told they would provide. A hot, hot Summer and the pool had too much chlorine to get in at 5 pm in the afternoon. We got 2 drink tickets for happy hour, but you had to stand in a line that wrapped around the bar. What I don't understand is if you really want my business why send me to your worst places to convince me to spend more money and receive less than I'm accustomed to. Also, it was in a residential neighborhood. Make it make sense.

There's an ice cream shop directly attached beside the hotel next to valet parking. The bad: the valet line is extremely unorganized. We waited in the line for a long time to get loaded and checked in due to the valet line and the same as when we checked out the hotel. Cars were sitting in the streets trying to get in.
