Stayed the night. Breakfast isn't included. There's only 1 washer and 1 dryer for all the hotel guests. I had to wait all night to wash and finished around 1am. They should install and other set.

Surfside Beach

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel for our vacation. The hotel is right on the beach. The rooms were clean. Housekeeping was nice. The DJ that was playing the music poolside was lit! The restaurant staff was friendly, too.

This place needs a remodel and an overhaul. The only nice thing here is the front desk personnel. Had dinner at their restaurant and to start with the bartender was the only one working. Took a while to be greeted at front. When we were seated we waited for him to return and he acted surprised we were eating. Should have left then. We ordered a pretzel and I asked for some spicy mustard. The bottle was absolutely filthy - see pic. The food tasted like something out of a vending machine. I would never stay here again and how the heck do you get the distinction resort. I have stayed at lower end hotels that were cleaner and better maintained. Edit - to make matters worse we returned to our room got in the bed and my wife felt something under the sheet. There was a pencil and eraser between the mattress and bottom sheet.

Lunch at the beach bar
Ron P.

Stayed here a long time ago but have had dinner and lunch in the bar restaurant a few times recently. The bar has windows facing the ocean and the hotel is ocean front. Just a mile north of the new seaside pier. The pier is 1.8 miles north of my condo and it's a nice beach walk. I would recommend this hotel to friends. People I heard talking at the bar seemed to be regulars and like staying each year.

We met the manager James on Sunday . The staff was very informative and nice . Lisa suggested the Wicked Tuna and it was a excellent choice . The following day she even asked if we enjoyed it and we let her know it was a great recommendation. The staff at the desk were nice and pleasant each day . We would definitely return to this hotel. The updates they made apparently a year ago are beautiful I love the colors very pretty and inviting . The pool area and bar area is nice also. The ocean view is wonderful . They have plenty of seating indoors and outdoors . Sunday they had a live reggae band they were great !

Sooooooooo my boyfriend and i went here for my birthday. Let me start off my saying the lady servers (it's 3 of them, can't remember there names) are awesome. I felt so comforted each time i went to the restaurant and bar because of them. The view is to die for. The hotel looks ehhh, from the outside. The room we had was nice. We had to call a few times for things like toilet tissue towels from The front desk - but if we ran into housekeeping they are awesome and very helpful. Rooms were clean enough. Recommendations- keep the bar open later. SC already has crazy liq laws. Please look up each states laws prior to visiting lol. So it would be nice if there bar stayed open later then 10/11. OverAlll - i defffffff would come back and get the ocean view king sized room again. The convenience to be 15 steps away from the ocean was great!!!! Note, my pics have filters but the view is still very lovely.

2 queens balcony/beach view

Five stars for being on the beach . On arrival I did online check in , key cards were ready on arrival . Overall it's a older hotel the salt water has did a number on it . Room door looked like too many paint jobs, but overall it closed and locked. Room was a little stuffy , opened patio to get some fresh air , proceeded to wipe down with my Clorox wipes and spray Lysol . Room is a nice size but too much furniture but it's cute but crowded. Beds are comfortable and plenty of pillows. Small refrigerator but no microwave which may be a issue for some , but we don't bring back leftovers . Overall will return for future stays

My boys love the beach!

I have been staying at this hotel for the past 25 years. Grew up going there with my parents and loved it because it was so quiet, peaceful and the ocean views were amazing! I have seen it transform over the years, due to both updating and restoration from hurricane damage. I have always felt at home here and have never had an issue. Now, as an adult, I take my kids and it is still amazing! Great food, views, staff has always been more than friendly, and helpful when needed. I love when we check in we can get extra towels and such and not be bothered by housekeeping the whole stay. I love that it is quiet and peaceful and away from the hustle and bustle as we enjoy just a relaxing get away from the norm vacation. We usually go to Garden City while we are there and were referred to Wicked Tuna by the staff and it was amazing!! It has always been very clean and just simply easy, cozy, comfortable. I would recommend it to anyone as we have NEVER had a problem.

I watched the sunrise on my birthday!! My heart was full
Danielle B.

I stayed here for a week for my birthday & I was pleasantly surprised how nice the hotel was! I heard they just gave the place a face lift. The oceanfront view is beautiful! My friends joined me 2 days later & were able to get the oceanfront view in the room next to me. We hopped on each other's balcony's everyday. It was decent rates & restaurant prices were all reasonable. Kelly at the bar was really nice & gave me lots of suggestions for places to go to. Monday was half off burgers, they have different specials everyday. I can honestly say, it was the best burger I've had in a while!! Juicy & cooked perfectly. Fresh brewed coffee every morning too! Cherri at the front desk was awesome! She was really nice & we said hi to her every morning & she always asked how our night went. We loved her!! You can watch the sunrise from the balcony & the sound of the waves put me to sleep every night. I would definitely stay here again!

Excellent location free parking rooms are nice AC is cold staff are excellent very friendly has great little restaurant and bar very close to the beach

Cockroach found in hotel stairwell. Reported to front desk. Nothing done

For an IHG Holiday Inn chain facility, it fell short. The building is pretty, but everything keeps breaking down (ice machines, arcade, shower drains), we found a cockroach in the stairwell, the night manager refused to help with Wi-Fi when asked, no free meals, and the maid service will wake you up at 9 am to check your trash but only change bedding every four days. For how much this place asks per night, the service is minimal and nothing is included without coating extra. Good for a budget vacation, but not as advertised.

Broken bathroom doorknob
Shane M.

Room 211 the view is horrible. Nothing but HVAC systems in sight. Pros: room was a decent size Nice size TV Room stayed cool Nice Bar and restaurant inside of hotel Staff was nice Cons: bathroom doorknob was in need of repair -Again, view was terrible -mice in pool area right before you get to the beach

Awwwww the smell of kitchen exhaust and noisy mechanical equipment from your balcony.
Russell F.

Disappointing, aging property in need of some maintenance in the elevators and hallways. Our 3rd floor "view room" was amazing, views of rooftop equipment, smells of kitchen exhaust, and sounds of a bearing on the motor going out. We are IHG Spire Elite status and our profile says high floor but even though we called Monday and Thursday to ask about room assignment (top floor), they didn't accommodate us. We stay over 75 nights a year with IHG and understand that they only upgrade on availability in the last 3 years we've had 1 upgrade. We are also Marriott Bonvoy Platinum Elite, and Choice Diamond, they honor our profile, requests and upgrades. Time to stop staying at IHG Properties.

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

The room did its job. We slept, shower, and ate once inside. Had a wonderful view of the beach. The…read morepools and hot tubs were amazing. The pool area in general was great. 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.

My husband and I booked our stay at Waters Edge, Garden City, SC through Rising Tides Properties…read more(owner Lynn Oliver). It was a last minute trip. Lynn informed us immediately that the "Amenities" (ie, pool, weight room, etc.) were not available due to damage done when "Ian" came through. We booked Unit #505. Check in was quick and seamless. The unit has recently been re-done and was spotlessly clean. The king size bed was very comfortable (and mattress was new). There are 2 bathrooms in this unit. Kitchen is nicely appointed. Full-size washer/dryer. Patio furniture was sturdy and also very comfortable. The Wi-Fi was excellent. Rising Tides Bar (same owner as Rising Tides Realty) IS open on the lower level, which was very convenient. The location is great as far as going one way up to Surfside, or the other to Murrell's Inlet for restaurants (and of course, Garden City as well). We would definitely book through Rising Tides again.

Last about…read more7 to 8 minutes max and then takes approximately 25 to 30 minutes to reheat because it is on 110 V plug. AC is a listed amenity, but the boathouse ac does not cool. The so called two parking spaces listed will fit a very compact car. It will not fit a full-size vehicle such as a jeep or F-150 pick up truck, which we have. We tried to make it work, but a neighbor complained that we were hanging out in the road. When you back all the way in, the access to the path to get to the main house is in accessible, as well as the barn doors to the boathouse being completely blocked and unable to open. When you try to speak to them and explain the situation, they gaslight you and talk in circles. We brought our family from Utah for this trip, discussed when everyone would be arriving and that our adult sons with their finances would all be here over Labor Day weekend. If you have a family and are looking to stay somewhere on the island of Gloucester, I would look elsewhere. We agreed on a price and sent them a cashiers check via certified mail (months in advance). My guess was so they could avoid the fees. It was returned that the business address they provided was not a valid address. Upon the package being returned to UTAH, we paid for a second certified delivery to the home address of the property manager. Upon our arrival a family member was kind enough to loan us their boat for our extended stay, at that time they contacted us saying we would need to pay nearly $2000 additional in added fees for using the boat dock, it says on Airbnb and their website that the dock is not included, but does not specify a separate price. The sign on site simply says use at your own risk. There was no mention of an extra price when the total price was discussed and agreed on. Even though I disagreed with the additional fees, we agreed to a reduced rate to avoid conflict. They proceeded to up-charged us another couple hundred dollars above that agreed rate as well. If it were one mishap, you'd let it slide, but something almost daily since we arrived doesn't seem like a hiccup. Lastly, the roof has been leaking since we got here. We told the PM and of the roof leaking in the bedroom in the main house and they said they were aware and plan to have it repaired. When you try to talk to Ryan he is condescending & continually repeats himself as if you cannot comprehend what he has said. It has not exactly been the seaside R&R we planned.

We stayed at the Grand Palms week of 16-February-2026…read more The 3 reflects that this property and experience met expectations. The only exception is the 2nd step to get the parking pass. WELCOME CENTER EXPERIENCE. = 2 out 5 The person who checked us in did a great job. Efficient and friendly. Had only been working 3 weeks. But dis well. BELOW IS WRITE UP IS WHY IT WAS A 2. Than you have to get your parking pass. You know the drill the people who want to sign you up for 2 hour high pressure meeting. The individual could not let it go to the point he said "it's a no brainer" to take the deal being offered. I told him no free lunch. The other thing he said which seems to be something I heard at another time share "we are guest on the property." I spent a good 10 minutes going back and forth with the individual. Waste of time. f I had to do it again I would tell the person at front desk please getting my parking pass. But they did put me on no call list which was good. You know they are your best bud until you keep saying no and they lose the mark. I am sure that the individuals who are working to sign you up it is part of thier deliverable for performance. "How many people do they sign up". ROOM = 3 out 5 We had a two bedroom unit. Everything needed for cooking etc. Did need to call housekeeping for trash bags. The unit was clean and everything worked well. The only thing about the unit is one front window. The two bedrooms had thier own door and windows to a small patio. The view is bamboo grass. The king size bed was great. The HVAC system worked well. Appliances no issue. There is a washer and dryer available in room and did the job. PROPERTY = 3 out 5 It feels less.like a resort and more like an apartment complex. The place was built in 1985. It is surrounded by other condo properties. There are pools. The surfside beach is a 15 minute drive. We went two days. Managed to have one day where setup our chairs and enjoyed the sun. Plenty of parking. Restrooms at each public parking area. The spot we choose had a group of eating establishments close to the beach area. Check out was easy. Called a number and left name and unit. Received a text later and reconfirmed. Dropped card keys off at security kiosk. I am not sure why it was but getting from welcome center to the unit was confusing. I think improving signage would be a plus. We choose not to go to Mrytle Beach. We do not eat out as much as we used to due to high dinner and beverage cost. The taxes on dining was 10%. We shopped at Publix and Piggley Wiggley. Route 17 as you will find is a busy road. We enjoyed the stay. We discussed if this is a place we would return to. The feeling is was ok but not something we would choose to return to. We have RCI and have an inventory of places to use. A caveat to this is we had just come from Hilton Head Island and this environment felt like a step down.

***Late post from my Oct 2023 East Coast trip***…read more I booked Club Wyndham Grand Palms through my vacation ownership, WorldMark The Club (Best of the Best!). After picking up my rental car from Budget at Myrtle Int'l Airport, I drove straight to this resort. Luckily, it was only about 10 mins away. I don't mind the long drives if necessary, but I do love the short drives especially having been in route via airplane for several hours. It's right off US-17 BUS and not too far from the beach. Huge lobby. Staff was nice and pleasant. Check-in was very easy. After I got my unit keys, I was sent over to the concierge desk of course. They gave me a map of Myrtle Beach and some additional information. Thank you! I also signed up for their Club Wyndham sales presentation even though I had no intention of buying more into my vacation ownership... I just love to hear what new things are in the horizon in the hospitality realm because I love to travel. They did give me a complimentary gift for my time... thank you! My studio unit was upstairs since all the downstairs units were taken. I had to walk up two flights of stairs which wasn't too bad. I only had one big luggage and a big bag with Garretts popcorns at the time LOL. Unit was open and spacious. Kitchenette had limited plates, utensils, and appliances. Dining table was adequate for one person. Bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was decent. This was a connecting unit with another unit next door that was probably a one bedroom. My stay here was only for a couple nights so I didn't take advantage of the resort amenities... they had plenty of fun stuff to offer. I enjoyed my stay very much even though it was short. Btw, all the units are located within a mile from the check-in lobby. You'll need to drive to your unit accordingly... the round-a-bouts can be tricky especially at night so pay attention. I would stay here again the next time I'm at Myrtle Beach. Happy Travels! P.S. I will post photos later. Thanks for your patience.
