Top The Carolinas Hotel Reviews

Dayton House Resort, BW Signature Collection

6/10 Okay

" I’m not usually be one to leave bad reviews but this was just an “okay stay” due to house keeping. After the second day of having our house keeping sign up, no one ever came to clean/ give clean towels, and I had to go to the front office to get fresh towels and I had to take out our own trash. This is after we saw them in the hall way cleaning the room next to us. I did call down after we got back up (2hours later) and yeah, no one came. I was pretty upset about that and the staff up front didn’t seem to be bothered so I’m guessing it happens more than usual. Probably will stay somewhere else like the Hilton next time that’s right down the street. "

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Myrtle Beach - N Kings Hwy

2/10 Terrible

"Pool was dirty in afternoon. Not maintained throughout the day. Rooms were not very clean. Room was not cleaned once during my 3 night stay. Had to ask for towels and garbage overflowing. Breakfast was meh. No orange juice. Same selections every day. Staff was pleasant."

Caribbean Resort & Villas

6/10 Okay

"I was in the deluxe suite the door didn’t lock and we had to literally push so hard to open it. The last night we stayed we were locked out our room because I guess the door was dead. So we had to wait for maintenance to come fix it I will say they came pretty fast. All around staff was super nice and efficient. Even tho the door was broke and the room had a funky smell I might book there again. "

Sands Ocean Club Resort

4/10 Poor

"When we arrived and checked in I was told the ocean front room we reserved and paid for was unavailable and was given a partial ocean view room with a small kitchenette. Not what I wanted since we were only there a few days. The room we had was a connecting room that had no insulation from the door, could hear everything from loud music, t.v's, talking.... at one point someone tried opening our door late at night. I should have went back down and insisted on another room but after a long travel day we were beat. On the last day we were told that people own and rent out the rooms ( some like apartments). I did not realize that this was not a true resort/hotel and would not have choose this. Very disappointed."

Surfside Beach Oceanfront Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel. Clean. Friendly staff. Smaller balcony was not the greatest. No hot breakfast but did have coffee and grab and go snacks. There was no parking available in the late hrs of the night, not having parking was inconvenient as a paying customer. The beach access was perfect! Areas to clean off the sand. Over all a decent stay, pool was meant for kids and the hot tub could only hold 3 people maybe. Worth the weekend stay. Family friendly. surrounded by restaurants and the pier was nice! "
