The lady at the front desk and the man helped us check in and gave us fantastic service. They helped us navigate the layout of Myrtle Beach. We came here on a quick bday celebration for y husband and it was a great experience for the 2 nights we stayed. You aren't paying for the new paint job you're paying an appropriate price for a beach front hotel. Everyone was really nice. the rooms could definitely be fixed but its a great deal.
