Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by jeanne65 right on the beach, great breakfast
The hotel staff were really friendly and provided good information on restaurants and nearby activites. Our ocean front hotel room was just what was shown on the internet. Our balcony had a great view of the beach. We had easy beach access. The breakfast buffet was really good, and the menu had plenty to choose from, also. We'd recommend this hotel to our friends and family, and are looking forward to returning next year.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by bdb0hch Enjoyable Stay but could have been better.
The bed was made daily. Only had coffee in room the first day. Bathroom was not cleaned very well during any of our stay and had to ask for towels.
The staff was very friendly and the Manager went the extra mile in helping us find a parking space for our trailer.

A group of friends and I reserved three rooms for a beach weekend. The location is outside of Myrtle Beach, but still close to dining and attractions. We were very pleased with our ocean front rooms and having the pool and beach at our fingertips.

I was hoping to get the chance to thank you publicly for dealing with an uncomfortable situation in such a professional manner. My family brought our dog with us for a wedding event that lasted 5 days. The customer next to us was very nasty to both the front desk personnel and myself about my dog barking in the room. The staff was courteous to her while trying to calm me down in the process. They went out of their way to find another room for us - which actually ended up being an upgrade to Ocean side - and then volunteered to move our things for us while we attended the wedding and the reception! Every employee never failed to greet us or provide us with anything we needed the entire time we were there. The bar staff was exceptional as well. My family and I were genuinely amazed at how friendly everyone was. I would highly recommend staying here for anyone and especially those traveling with four-legged furry children.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Citygirl820 Beautiful view of the ocean
The staff at this hotel were very friendly and helpful. The room was nice and the balcony and view of the ocean were fantastic. I only have one complaint. The people in the room next to you can look directly into your room from the balcony. There is a space about two feet wide that gives you a great view of the ocean from your balcony. However, if someone in the next room is on their balcony and looks around the corner, they are looking directly at you in your room. This happened to me when I was sitting at the little table having a snack. My neighbor looked around the partition and we had a nice conversation. He was a really nice guy, but it made me a little nervous that people could look right into my room. Other than that the hotel was great and I will stay there again.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by businesstravonvacation Great location
The location on the beach in a quiet neighborhood was great for relaxing. I really appreciated the hotel's non-smoking policy (including no smoking on the balconies) so that I could enjoy the wonderful views.
The bed was good, and the room was clean. Nice to have coffee in the room.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by catdon Friendly staff, cozy room with a beautiful view of the ocean.
The look of the hotel was really nice from the moment we pulled in the parking lot and it continued through out the hotel to our room. The staff was courteous, and very helpful. The bartender named Jeff was an excellent server. He was friendly, pleasant, and a great help in ordering our meals. Our overall stay was AWESOME!

Great experience. It would of been nice to know about the pool construction beforehand. I guess that is to be expected on the off season. Overall, the staff was nice and the oceanfront room was awesome.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by HappyPrincess456 Great ! Great! Great!
This is the 2nd time I have visited this location and I absolutely LOVE it....Especially when you look out your balcony and see the Ocean! The staff is very polite, and attentive to ones needs. I completely understand the need not to smoke in the room, but they have also banned smoking on the balcony , which I'm not a big fan of, but with everything else this hotel has to offer I wasn't to upset! Love the kids eat free and Priority Club acknowledgement! GREAT HOTEL ! GREAT STAFF!

It was my 4th Visit (3 visit was business related) One was Leisure using reward Nights.
This visit was Horrible for Multiple Reason.
1. No Complimentry Breakfast for Platinum Member
2. Room was not cleaned, Looks liek they just make Bed and replace towel in room (I did not see my room was vacuumed, and i said that cos it was food crumbs was on carpet , so if that was vacuumed it was picked up.
3. Shower Tub, clog, very slow drain, It was very uncomfort to take shower more than 2 min. cos slow to no drain situation.

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by Steveg13 Not Very Welcoming
I am a Platinum Priority Club Member and was told I could check in early at 1pm. When I got there I had to wait 2 hours until my room was ready...Come to find out that the room was ready the entire time. House Keeping didnt come until 2 or 3 in the afternoon. The morning after our first night we were looking for coffee only to be told that it was $2.50 a cup. I have never heard of a hotel that didnt have complimentary coffee. The girl at the front desk was very unpleasant. I would not recommend this hotel and could honestly say that after traveling 20 weeks a year to Holiday Inns this is the only one I wouldnt recommend.

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by Willie14 Rude Staff
Our trip started off excellent with the front service staff, however by morning it became the one of my worst hotel experiences ever.
Had a wonderful quiet evening, but was rudely awaken in the morning by a loud argument in the hallway by two women. At first I thought it was just in passing but the arguement continued for another 20 minutes. It got so loud that it had woken up my young 3 year old and he began to cry because he was "scared of the two mean people yelling outside our door." My wife also felt uncomfortable because of some of the language being used, so I called the front desk to tell them of the situation. About 10 minutes later the yelling stopped, but you could still hear the women arguing, but now it was at a much lower level. When we walked out the door to check out, it was then when I realzied that it was two staff members that were arguing. What a bad image for the hotel, very unprofessional for a family hotel that staff can act in that manner. When I checked out I explained to the front desk person that I was the individual that called the complaint and was shocked that it was their staff behaving in such a way. Her explaination to me was, "Sir, don't worry it is no longer any of your concern and we have taken care of the situation." Why wasn't it my concern any more? Was it because I was now checking out? As a new PriorityClub Reward Member, I don't believe that I will continue my services to another Holiday Inn if this is the type of behavior that is tolerated by management.

Room very very small, barely large enough for one person. Bathroom and vanity also too small. 6.00 resort fee charged? for internet and parking? (per girl at front desk) Room clean , staff very friendly. Great view with oceanfront room.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Papahog Great location and customer service
We stayed in an oceanfront room for a week "get away" and would not hestitate to stay in this hotel again. Not only did they beat the price we were able to get at another hotel, the customer service was fantastic. The rooms were clean and beds comfortable. For my taste, there wasn't enough counter space in the room. The dresser is on the small side and really only fits the tv. Other than that, we enjoyed the stay and would not hesitate to stay again. Cody at the front desk was fantastic to deal with. Next time, we will stay when we can spend some time at the pool and/or beach and enjoy the balcony.

the check in rep was great! Very professional and recognized I was a member
When I looked for coffee the next morning the front desk lady was a bit short with me for some reason and then as I rolled my stuf out....she looked at me and said not one word! She was not very professional at all

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by bill123 Four Beautiful Days and Nights in Mid-January
This was about the fourth time my wife and I had stayed at this wonderful peaceful beachfront hotel. We live only about 80 miles away, but relaxing, dining and listening to the ocean waves is our kind of fun if the weather is nice. Seeing a stretch of 70 degree weather coming on the coast of South Carolina in January was too much for us. We checked the great January prices for an oceanfront king bedroom with a wonderful balcony with the music of the waves and in a hurry we came to the Holiday Inn at Surfside. What a fine room in an unhurried hotel, what a view, what a beautiful smooth white sand beach, what nice people who work here. This is a great place to stay just a few miles south of busy Myrtle Beach and only several miles north of Murrell's Inlet which is equipped with the greatest seafood restaurants on the planet. There's nothing not to like. We'll be back.

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by disappointedfromNH Don't believe the star rating
I was very excited about our ocean view hotel. Even though we were aware of the renovations going on, the star rating was 4 out of 5 stars! How could it be wrong? First, the room smelled like stale smoke as we walked in. Second, as we opened the slider door to our ocean view balcony, the paint was peeling and the door stuck. When we got the door opened, our "neighbor" was smoking on his balcony. This continued thru our trip despite the "$250 fine." Third, the bathroom tub was clogged and the water backed up. Fourth, the towel bar kept falling off the wall. Fifth, the sink was very small which made it very hard to balance a blow dryer, flat iron & make up. Last, the hotel itself seemed dated.However, we tried to keep in mind that the room was going to be renovated... Upon leaving, we learned the room was ALREADY DONE!?!
I would not recommend this location and would not stay there again. It's a shame. The company obviously cut corners and it shows! :(

I have stayed at this property several times in the past. It is a great location but I was very disappointed with the condition and customer support during my last two visits.
We have beach side balcony rooms and the sand blasters and painter made it difficult to use or enjoy.
This past week, i had booked for 3 nights but left a day early and went down the street to another hotel do to my patio door being plastic an taped off. The noise made it difficult to stay in my room.
I understand upgrades are needed at this facility but more focus is needed on customer saticfaction.

Had a great time here with my 3 dogs. Although they were remodeling (it was the off-season), & I couldn't get the king size bed I had requested, they did accommodate me & offer me a discount per night for the inconvenience.
Staff was friendly & helpfull too! Room, hallway & lobby were clean & smelled good (not overly perfumed or of cleaning products). Great view of the ocean from my room as well. I would definitely stay here again

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Jamie243 this will be our 3rd time here
It is a little pricey during high season, but my husband and I would not stay anywhere else. We have been going to Carolina's every year for 8 years. We have stayed at other hotels in the past, but we are booking our 3rd stay there. We never experience any problems with the staff/hotel property. Only disappointment, when you go to get coffee in the morning, in the lobby, they charge you. Before, if you were a priority club member, they gave to you. It's not a big deal, but it is still annoying when they nickle and dime you for such a small item.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by JC1553 Checkout Policies
I was in town working and finished early so I wanted to check out early instead of staying an extra night since I had an eight hour drive back home. The hotel said I would have to pay an extra $ 50. to check out, since this wasn't explained when I checked in , I was shocked. Only the smoking in room was mentioned. I was doubley disappointed since I am a Platium Member using a Holiay Inn Visa that there were no allowances. This tells me that as a customer, I mean nothing.
