Hotels near Bargain Beachwear, Myrtle Beach

This was our first trip to Myrtle Beach October 8-11, with two children ages 3 and 8. We did weeks worth of research before choosing this resort. **You will always find scary and negative reviews for places but I promise you that The Breakers does not disappoint! (Unless you are difficult to please!)** We stayed in the Paradise building on the 20th floor. The view was amazing! The room was spacious, clean and quiet. The water pressure in the shower was great! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and eat meals. The employees at this resort work hard to keep it clean and safe. Housekeeping checked in daily to replenish towels and take our trash. We enjoyed the pools and hot tubs and lazy river. This is a great location, steps from the ocean and walking distance to stores and restaurants. It was nice to have a Starbucks right across the street! It would have been nice if the kids pool was operating since our children and other families were interested in utilizing that amenity. However I was informed by front desk staff that operating hours are determined by the weather and the security team. The shuttle service was great and the driver was knowledgeable and friendly. We were picked up from the airport and were able to schedule rides to local attractions. Overall it was a great trip and we are already looking forward to returning! Thank you Breakers!

We had an amazing time here. For a family on a budget this is great. It's a older hotel so it has its quirks. But for the price we had a big room with an awesome view. Two pools which is great. And all the staff were so kind.

You can't judge a book by it's cover. The hotel is definitely vintage and has seen better days. But it was clean and well maintained on the inside. The location was a quick walk to the beach. My room was very clean and the beds were soft. The employees were pleasant and knowledgeable. Shamekea took very good care to make sure that my room was clean and that I had plenty of fresh linens. My only disappointment was that the pool was shut down for 2 days and we had toilet issues. I would recommend this hotel to anyone I would take clean rooms and great customer service over how aesthetically pleasing the building looks.

I loved the location of my room it just wasn’t remodeled likes the other ones beside my room

We stay in a lot of Holiday Inn Expresses. Consistency is key for them and I expect it. This one stood out with an individual desk clerk. I provided his name to HIE but don’t recall it now. After my check in, next time by the desk he said hello with my name! Hasn’t happened before in any hotel. He made it memorable for us.

The room had a couple of mold spots on the ceiling, and the floor had some spots where it looked like it had been half mopped. As far as the location goes, it was just right. The only other problem that I had was the breeze way, the parking lot, the elevators were not cleaned, and they had no complimentary breakfast for the guest. Also, it smelt like **** the whole time there, and the pools were always crowded. All and all it was a good stay.

The front desk staff is incompetent. At check in, I informed the desk clerk that I would be paying with cash for my family's stay and I wanted two rooms for two nights. The desk clerk then took my card to put a ”deposit hold” (which turned out to be the full amount for the stay) and booked one room for one night. At this time I corrected him and said I need two rooms for two nights. I get all my card keys, settle in and the next day I get a call from the Marriott telling me I missed checkout for one of the rooms. It turns out, he had booked one room for two nights and the other room for one. Straightened that out, stayed for the second night, and upon checking out found out the second night was charged to my card and could not be reversed after I told them I'd be paying cash at checkout. Inconvenient but whatever. I pay the rest that is owed using cash and I am told the deposit they held on my card at check in would be returned to my account within 48hrs. The next day I receive 1/4th of the hold back on my card. Four days later and the rest is still not returned to my account. At this time I call the Marriott and they inform me that the desk clerk that told me my deposit would be returned within 48hrs was wrong and that it would actually be 5-7 business days. Dealing with this establishment has been a hassle since check in and what was supposed to be a relaxing vacation turned into issue after issue. My family and I will not be returning to any Marriott.

As for the hotel itself it was ok. The room we stayed in was really small. As a platinum elite member I was treated extremely well. All of the staff from check in till we checked out were extremely friendly and seemed to care about our stay. We even had a waitress named Jamie on the morning of our departure talk with us and listened to our experiences. Now that is in my opinion above and beyond what is required of them to do. On the plus side we met a corporate member that happened to be there on vacation and she also spoke with us about our stay and previous stays at other IHG hotels. Have you ever had a corporate employee speak to you about your experiences and genuinely listen and care?? You have to understand that this is what true customer service is all about. They genuinely seemed to care and tried to make our experience as pleasant as possible. I’ve been an IHG member for close to 20 years and haven’t found a better hotel group as willing to and capable of the service they provide. And a shout out to Cheri the hostess when we checked out. I had spoken to her before we arrived and she actually remembered me when we departed.
