Hampton Inn & Suites Myrtle Beach Oceanfront

“Very enjoyable and relaxing!”

This was the best hotel I’ve been to for awhile. The front desk specifically Angie was wonderful. She has such great PR skills! I’d love to have her at my hotel! The bar and restaurant was the best!

This was the best hotel I’ve been to for awhile. The front desk specifically Angie was wonderful. She has such great PR skills! I’d love to have her at my hotel! The bar and restaurant was the best! The tortilla chips and guacamole was superb! Housekeeping was on it when it came to cleaning my room! And breakfast was delicious! The best stay I’ve had I. Awhile!

“Warm, kind, professional and friendly.”

We arrived early and with my Hilton Honors we were able to book into our room early. Everyone was so very kind. I did not realize how tired I was but I saw the bed and had a nice little nap. Some days are like that since chemo stole my strength. I go with how I feel these days. Bev and I picked the coldest day of the year to come to the beach. We were not deterred. The view of the ocean from our room was stunning. I opened the sliding door just to take in the ocean breeze and smell the fresh salt air. I closed it shortly after as I did not want to “heat all of Myrtle Beach”…. As my dad used to tell me when I was a child. I was totally refreshed. I think Bev was exhausted as well. She took a quick nap on the couch. I watched a few brave folks walking the beach (it was cold and windy ..remember?) The sun was up in the sky and not a cloud in sight. The water was constant motion as the waves danced upon the sand. Bev and I went downstairs for dinner at the REEL restaurant in the lobby of this hotel. Dave greeted us with a warm welcoming smile. Bev decided on a Pina Colada. I just wanted water. Dave created such a beautiful drink for Bev with whip cream and dressed with a cherry and a huge fresh slice of pineapple. Drinks arrived and we placed our order. Hayden was very professional and welcoming at the same time. He brought our meals to us made by Chef Manika. Both of our dinners were perfectly prepared. She did a wonderful job. Dave and Hayden worked so well together. I could tell they really enjoy making sure their guests enjoy themselves. Each one made sure we had everything we needed. Hayden was kind and took time to chat with Bev and I. We were not rushed and the food was delicious. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal experience. Thank you Willie Conway

“Great ocean front location. Place needs to resolve a few issues for more stars.”

Pillows and bed were comfortable. The carpets, however, are absolutely filthy. They need to be removed. The bathrooms near the pool area were disgusting. Breakfast is a 4 on a scale of 5. Breakfast eggs were ok; sometimes the eggs were rubbery. The waffles were good because you make them fresh. L… more

Pillows and bed were comfortable. The carpets, however, are absolutely filthy. They need to be removed. The bathrooms near the pool area were disgusting. Breakfast is a 4 on a scale of 5. Breakfast eggs were ok; sometimes the eggs were rubbery. The waffles were good because you make them fresh. Lots of options for breakfast. Location is great. The sunrise and sunset are amazing. Hotel is within walking distance of restaurants and souvenir shops. I would stay here again. However, improvements should be made. One more thing, pets are allowed so a dog barking one evening was a bit disturbing.

“**A Brutally Honest Review from a Traveling Family: A Nightmare Stay**”

We recently spent a week at this resort in early December for two milestone birthdays, and our experience left much to be desired. While we’ve stayed at numerous hotels, motels, and resorts for sports leisure, this one was particularly disappointing. **The Positives:** Let’s start with the good. The resort boasts a fantastic ocean view and beautiful sandy beaches where we could even see dolphins from our 7th-floor room. The location is a highlight, but unfortunately, it was overshadowed by numerous issues that made our stay feel more like a nightmare than a vacation. **Cons:** 1. **Multiple Unauthorized Charges:** Our credit card was charged 13 times during our stay, sometimes even twice in one day. Despite notifying the staff, no one took responsibility. My bank even called to confirm if it was fraud. The hotel’s policy states that charges would only occur at the end of the stay, which was not followed. Additionally, we could never reach a manager or general manager to address our concerns. 2. **Safety Hazard:** I sustained an injury in our room due to metal tacks sticking out of the carpet, necessitating a visit to urgent care. This was a serious safety concern that should have been addressed more promptly. 3. **Room Damage:** Upon checking into our room, we noted damage in the bathroom/wall/floor. The staff acknowledged it but offered no apologies or solutions—just a vague promise to make a note of it. 4. **Security Issues:** The security door on the 3rd floor of the upper parking area was not secure, allowing free access to anyone. While there were respectful individuals who are unhoused in the garage, it’s still an uncomfortable situation for families, my 15 year old son escorted a young lady and child to their car. **Additional Considerations:** - **Parking:** Be prepared to pay $15 per day for parking. - **Breakfast:** While breakfast is complimentary, it’s hit or miss. The waffle makers had a long wait time, and the hotdogs served as breakfast items were perplexing. The oatmeal was particularly watery, like we don’t understand how any one can make it like soup. ( suggestion Smoothie bar & turn on the TV’s ) The cheese eggs & the potatoes with peppers were great. - **Pool and Hot Tub:** The resort lacks indoor pools or hot tubs even though the site and some staff confirmed they did - They are semi covered allowing cold air in and the options were not well-maintained until closer to the weekend. - **Local Use of Facilities:** We noticed locals using the side showers, which was not an issue for us, but something to be aware of especially if you have young children. The semi covered pool and hot tubs areas are located within the area of the parking garage. The bathrooms were locked outside until Thursday afternoon. - **Cats:** There are five cats around the pool area, likely beach cats due to the pet-friendly policy. While cute, families with young children should be cautious. - **Family Activities:** The resort claims to be family-friendly, yet lacks engaging activities for families, especially during the off-season. Games or organized activities would be a great addition for off season. - **Laundry Facilities:** The laundry room on the 8th floor has only one washer and dryer, each costing $2.00 (8 coins) - The Washer takes 22 minutes. A wall folding table would be helpful or a chair, thank god for bath towels to sit on. However the Hotel provides laundry detergent- we brought our own. **Staff Commendation:** Despite the issues, the restaurant chef was incredible and bar staff, especially Mike, Steven, and the Portuguese gentleman, made our experience at the restaurant enjoyable. However, my teen was disappointed that none of the slushy machines offered non-alcoholic options. We were also a bit disappointed that they didn’t have any holiday themed snacks or drinks Also the 9pm closure was a major setback. **Conclusion:** This hotel may be suitable for snowbirds, traveling groups, or business professionals needing a short stay. I bet this is an amazing place particularly in the busier summer months. However, for families looking to enjoy a winter vacation, I would recommend exploring other options. Also the piers close by are private & cost $3.00 per person however it’s an all day wristband… We hope this review helps fellow travelers make informed decisions. We'll be sharing this feedback across various forums and with our community travel agents. We suggest you contact The Hampton Inn in Hagerstown after this nightmare we experienced that hotel and it was like a sweet haven.
