Worst Booking Imaginable
Booked through here but upon arrival, they stated they are called a different name now and so they cannot find the booking. Ended up booking a separate room out of necessity (as nothing else was available in the area at 10 PM) and the room smelled like mildew, there was old furniture trashed in the parking garage, AC units were falling apart in the hallways, the balcony had broken dirty chairs stacked up in the corner that you couldn't sit on, and it just seemed like a completely unsafe sketchy place - which is crazy due to the price being charged. Also, upon arrival, one of the managers (or owner) was going around the parking area with his flashlight checking parking passes and asked us what we're doing - I said we're checking in, so don't tow us! Later on, I noticed several other vehicles being towed... understandable to an extent, but it seemed like this was just unnecessary to a degree and was a portrayal of how they operate. Overheard a lady complaining about being double-charged and the manager said he needs to speak to the person who booked and blew the lady off. Kids were jumping in the pool until 3 AM... couldn't sleep. The list could go on. Definitely will never return. **Ocean Star is apparently the "new name" of the hotel. Stay away.

Abandoned Beachfront Hotel? Weird
Well the room was ok, the bathroom was a little beat up, price was good, the elevator was in horrible shape, it looked like an abandoned prison elevator. I think we were the only guests and there was no front desk person so we had to actually check in through the neighboring hotel the days Inn. We probably should’ve stayed there too.

I wasn’t expecting the room to look like that. On the booking site it looks nice but when I got there. The room had a terrible Oder, wasn’t clean, toilet was messed up, bathtub was clogged. I can go on an on. I wasn’t satisfied at all.

Shady environment. Did not feel safe or comfortable. Door entrance to room had obviously been broken into at some point. Wood missing on door and could actually see through it from room into foyer. Roach bugs crawling through balcony door. Appeared to be no maintenance in decades. No batteries in remote. No plates on electrical outlets. Needs to be condemned. Had I known, I would NOT have paid $25 per night much less $150!! RIPP OFF!

Worst Place Ive ever Stayed!
When we got there, there was a sign on the office door stating it was closed because the clerk was off checking the property. Why do they not carry a portable phone with the main number forwarded to it? We had to wait almost 30 mins for her to come! Our first room was disgusting! When we walked in, there were dead and live bugs on the floor, it smelled, no remote, and the toilet didnt work! Gave us a somewhat better room, but it had no remote, no iron, and when you got in the shower, it sounded like the floor was about to fall thru!

So to start the room had cockroaches, broken coffee maker, broken toilet paper holder. The ac barely kept the room comfortable at times. The office was only open first few days we stayed and then we had to go to another hotel for basic things like toilet paper because the room got no service. The only saving point to this room was it was right on the beach and i could see the ocean.

Besides the fact that this place is old, it is not well maintained. The receptionist come and go as she pleased. The staff didn’t clean the room for us, they just took dirty towels and put new ones on bed without cleaning anything or making the bed (we removed everything from bed). As a result, we had to come and asked for toilet paper. Also, shower knob got loose and fell off. We will definitely never come back here.

The pool and location was nice. The thin walls and older windows made it hard to sleep. The walls were dirty, there were water stains. There was noise from other guests swimming and laughing until 1 am in the morning on a Friday night early July. The beach access was great. Generally everything felt old and a more than a little dirty at this hotel.

Stay away!
Deplorable conditions! Room stunk. Questionable stains throughout the room. I did see housekeeping working and doing their jobs, but they can only do so much in their allotted time. Check in was at 4. We got there, we were instructed to go next-door where the clerk was helping the Days Inn customers check in, we were told to go back over a she would be there when she was done. That was 15 mins later! Nothing was done about noise control. 2 of our nights our neighbors had very loud parties!

Rooms were not as pictured, at least not in the first floor! Dirty rooms with obvious water damage that they don’t repair. Beds were good, bedding and towels were clean. Tub didn’t drain well at all. Got locked out of our room while at the pool and no one was in the office for 5 hours!!!!!!! Had to call the police to help me find someone or a way to get back in my room! Very disappointed about the accommodations…….. but we weren’t there for the room, we were there for the fun in Myrtle beach.

The check-in person left at 4:00 (directions were very specific for us to show up at 4:00 and no later) as I was walking in. Just left and locked up. Said go next door to check in, but, they didn't have our information, so they called her. After about 30 minutes, she returned. It was easy from there, but, dang it was 100 degrees outside waiting for her. Needles to say, there was a line. After that, though, it was a pleasant experience. Clean room, with nice bed and clean white sheets. Great water pressure and hot water in shower. It's an older building, with some wear on it, but, has charm. Lots of families around, so it never felt creepy. Great beach access. No bugs. I'd stay there again.

Most Disgusting Hotel Ever
It cost over $500 for a two-nights stay in the most disgusting place I have ever been. So much so, I left before the second night and forfeited the fee for that night’s stay. It is on the beach, which is why I was willing to pay so much, but had no idea of its condition until I arrived. Hotels.com should remove this hotel from their offerings.

You are better off sleeping outside!
This was a complete nightmare. Not cleaned before stay, holes in walls, water streaming down wall, water dripping from light fixture, previous water damage. We were afraid that the ceiling was going to cave in from weight of water above. We requested a different room and was told there was no other room available. We were told someone would come to help... no one did. The next day no one was even in the office to complain to. I emailed the owner and got no reply. COMPLETE NIGHTMARE. DO NOT STAY HERE.
