8/10 Good

"It was actually very nice stay comfortable!"

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

4/10 Poor

"Noise and voices could easily be heard in adjoining rooms. Unfortunately, the inconsiderate people next to me were ignorant, extra loud and could care less. The walls and ceilings must have been paper thin too. I stayed here seven and a half years ago and it hasn't been updated: chipped paint, missing caulk, molding coming off, etc."
