Great location but extremely overpriced
Pros:

Location, cleanliness and staff were great. The safety and area was also great. The hotel style for the location is cute and coastal. Easy check in and out.

Cons:

The price I paid for this room was outrageous for what it was! Hotel check in is way too late in the day and check out is way too early and especially for the price. There are some little cosmetic interior building fixes that should be addressed. Examples, elevator paint chipping, art in the room held up with masking tape, pictures hung crooked. The bathroom shower fixture was the most confusing thing I ever seen. Why so many shower heads and oddly angled? I think there was five. Also with a very strange way of turning everything on. The water temperature is set to lukewarm at best. I get that you don’t want people to get burnt but room temperature water out of your shower is not desirable. The extra sofa bed had no sheets provided for it in the room. The garage disposal in the suite didn’t work at all. The toilet handle had to be held down for a long spell in order for enough water to fill and actually flush. Then the tank itself had an issue with the inside assembly to actually fill up again. We had to take the lid off and jiggle it to get it to properly fill. The soap that is provided in the shower and sink is horrible, it doesn’t lather and smells bad. Even if it had been good it’s at best like a tablespoon size that is provided. I certainly hope the hotel is at least paying their friendly staff well with all the cost cutting of conveniences passed on the guests.

Very very nice staff. As a single woman traveling I felt very safe. The front desk staff remembered me from day to day and were very helpful. It is in a great location. The rooms are big and spacious. Great, full stocked kitchen (even had a blender).

Pros:

Rooms are awesome , building is in great shape. Walkable to good restaurants and bars to the left of the building for tourists and a younger crowd and a nice local restaurant to the right . We will always stay here when we have a mini break ( we live 2.5 hrs away ) . It’s great proximity to Myrtle , our favorite Brookgreen gardens and Huntington Beach park . Really nice rooftop viewing area for sunrise and sunset , and if you want to stay on the cheap the kitchenette and refrigerator are just like your home so you could save money by eating in ! If it had 6 stars I’d check that box . That’s my 2 cents have a great stay !

Pros:

My little family stayed here for our 9 month old’s first vacation. It was clean, the staff was precious, and the room was very large, easily big enough for a pack and play and a portable rocker. We love Murrell’s Inlet, but this was our first time at this lodge, and I’m pleased to say we would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Pros:

Linda at front desk was so nice and helpful. The room was very clean and the kitchenette was well stocked. We stayed four nights so the full size refrigerator was nice. The room and en-suite were tastefully decorated and quite comfortable. The downside for us (but may not be for others) is that it’s actually too quiet. Although there was a courtyard with a nice outdoor bar and seating, it wasn’t in use. There weren’t many other people staying there while we were there possibly because of the overcast weather. I had hoped we’d be able to hang out with guests over a drink in the courtyard or pool. The attached but independent restaurant, Costas, was delicious and also tastefully decorated with friendly staff/servers. The lodge lobby is quiet and lovely but again no one was around so it was too quiet. The location is terrific to visit the Marsh Walk and to drive into Litchfield and Pawleys Island. I’d definitely stay again because it’s clean, decorated nicely, close to the Marsh Walk, and the friendly service.
