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

8/10 Good

"Break fast are limited staff. Have taken extra 16$ registration fees not mentioned anywhere"

Dayton House Resort, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good

"This is my 3rd time staying at Dayton house. The rooms are nice, the kids love the different pools to swim in. The breakfast across the street is yummy, The people are friendly! Love the cabana that makes it so easy to get snacks and drinks! Right on the beach! What’s not to love!!? The only issue is that it can be a bit crowded peak season, but other than that, it’s great!"

Crown Reef Beach Resort and Waterpark

8/10 Good

"Liked the fact that the hotel was ok the beach and my son loved the pool and lazy river. The doors open to the outside rather than an inside hallway, though and the property seemed “dated”. I reserved a room with two queen beds but received a room with two double beds."
