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.

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.

Sabrina at the front desk was inexcusably rude. It appears she doesn't value her job in customer service.

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.

We've stayed in every kind of room they have just about from the studios to the 2 bedroom, balcony and no balcony, bunk room which is a good in-between option. The rooms are always clean. Look it's not the Hilton but this is the beach y'all :). Rates are great for all things considered.

Arrived on a Wednesday (checked in at 4 pm) received a call from Carly at front desk on Thursday stating we would have to move rooms our last night booked because the owners of the unit was arriving Saturday or get a refund and leave Saturday at 10 am. We spent 1 hour and 45 minutes of the time we could be on the beach with our family, packing and moving. We decided that morning to pack up everything not needed and just use the last room (which was now a 1 bathroom and no bedroom just 2 beds when you walk in overlooking the pool) to shower and store our belongs (snacks and clean clothes) until we departed at 5 pm that afternoon bringing our vacation shorter that reserved. To receive fresh linens you had to exchange linens on the second floor from 10 am to 12 pm ONLY ON WEDNESDAY. Since checking in on a Wednesday and 6 people in our part and only 4 towels/wash clothes and face towels in room we were out of luck on fresh towels. Had to do laundry each day for towels that cost and extra $8 per load to wash and dry. No vacuum in room to keep floors clean with no daily room check by staff. When taking out your own trash it had to go to a dumpster located on a busy street. Floors were filithy had to wear socks or shoes the whole time or your feet would be black on the bottom. It is obvious their owners take priority over renters so do not waste your hard earned money on staying at this HOTEL( not a resort). Location may be great but the place is a disaster. BEWARE!

Oh man, Garden City Inn! Where to begin on this one, not the worst hotel/inn I've ever been in, but…read morenot the best by any means. Let's dive into the details. This is a solid 3/3.5 hotel; don't expect any frills or extra commodities. You get a clean bed, a working shower, a TV, and a view of the beach. The closest thing to a perk I had was a full fridge instead of a mini one. As the saying goes, "you pay for what you get", this place is cheap for that reason. You don't get any emails regarding check-in/check-out after your initial booking of the hotel. So just an FYI, however, you can call and find that info out. If you care about everything looking pretty or top of the line, then this isn't the inn for you! If you don't care about looks and want the basics, this hotel will get the job done. There were a lot of quirks in my room, to say the least, some of these include: a stink drain that was sticking sideways (It still worked though), Maintenance handy work on the bathroom frame (Hammer dents near the door frame), no hair dryer, no ceiling lights (they have a lamp and one near the door) no charlie bar for the balcony and the ouside frames/chairs needed wipped down from the pollen. I also found it hilarious that there are no photos/paintings/ on the white walls. Just blank, use your imagination, I suppose lol. However, something about the quirks above made it feel oddly more roomy/lived-in? Like you were staying at a college dorm instead of a hotel. The staff was very nice and considerate. I had some trouble with my card reader, and they were very sweet in helping me out. Alongside, when I told staff about the above room quirks, they seemed to jump on the case for fixing the above. Which surprised me, so hopefully, by telling the staff, it will be better for the future.
