Dirty, Mold, not supplied
Pros:

That is was close to the beach

Cons:

Hello, I’m reaching out regarding our stay. I reserved and paid for this room for three guests for Friday and Saturday night, with checkout scheduled for Sunday. However, because of the condition of the room, we are leaving early today, Saturday, around 4:00 PM and will not be staying Saturday night.

When we arrived, there were only two washcloths and four towels for three guests, and there were no blankets or comforters on the beds. The refrigerator is also not working.

More importantly, the bathroom was not properly cleaned. There is visible mold on the shower curtain and in the bathtub, along with long black hair left in the bathtub from a previous guest. None of us have long black hair—I am traveling with my two boys, and my hair is light brown—so this clearly was not ours.

I paid for a clean and sanitary room with working amenities, and unfortunately that is not what we received. The mold and apparent lack of proper cleaning are especially concerning, and the condition of the room is the reason we have decided to cut our trip short and leave a full day early.

Because we are unable to comfortably continue our stay due to these conditions, I am requesting a full refund for the reservation. At the very minimum, I expect Saturday night's charge to be refunded since we are leaving early specifically because of these issues.

I have photos/documentation of the room's condition if needed. Please let me know how you intend to resolve this and process the refund.

Thank you.

A good cleaning would help this place a lot
Pros:

The room was plenty big. The location was great.

Cons:

There was sand everywhere and the floors had not been mopped in a long while. Our socks were black from just a short time in the room. The room needed a couple of chairs to sit in. The pool area needed to be cleaned including the pool its self.

Horror in Myrtle beach
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Hookers in the parking lot, a man smoking Crack by the stair, The rooms where filthy, pee stains and pubic hair on the sheets. We did not feel safe here and refused to stay. No actual staff on site and when you call the number for the hotel it just goes to voice mail and they will not return your call. We refused to stay here and ended up staying at a different hotel
