Residence Inn by Marriott Myrtle Beach Oceanfront — Hotel in Myrtle Beach

Stayed at this property Thursday - Monday. First, I will start off with the positives. Location is great, on the southern end of the strip near the airport. So, the area is quiet which I liked. Don’t listen to anyone saying it’s a bad neighborhood. We walked to two restaurants nearby and didn’t feel unsafe. There are some nice homes around there!||Property is a newer one. We had an oceanfront studio room and we had our dogs with us. Room was a great size with a large balcony, kitchenette with a full sized fridge. Bathroom was large with a walk-in shower stall. We were on the 6th floor but the way the building is designed, it felt a lot higher than the 6th floor. Great view of the ocean. Bed was comfortable.||All the staff we encountered were very nice. Pool area was very nice with a two-tiered pool. Pool is also partially covered so it stays in the shade. There was also a small splash area for kids.||Very large grassy area to walk your dogs. Gas fire pits you can turn on yourself (timer) to enjoy a drink or have a conversation. Free daily hot breakfast. Complimentary Beach towels for guests (they give you a claim card for a towel) they will hold your claim card until you turn in the used towel. Either you can get a fresh towel or get your claim card back. I actually liked this idea because it almost guarantees you a towel! ||The lobby, outside common and pool areas were always kept very clean. ||Literally you’re just steps to the beach. My favorite part! ||Now, for the items that need to be mentioned for guests and feedback to the property in general…the parking garage is VERY tight. So please be very careful driving in it. If you have a very large vehicle, the garage may not be able to accommodate that, so you may want to call ahead about an alternative parking arrangement. I have an Infiniti QX60, and it was a tight fit for an SUV of that size. I would say anything larger, may be a problem. This isn’t the hotels fault. Clearly, they built the garage to accommodate as much as possible with the limited amount of space they had (property is rather narrow). ||The interior hallway carpet has seen its better days. Definitely time to replace it. But the 4 nights I was there I didn’t see anyone vacuum the hallway. Just doing that would go a long way. Yes, there’s sand everywhere and that’s to be expected. But the hallways just generally looked a little neglected. ||Cleanliness of the room was good upon first inspection. But as time went on you start to notice little things. With that being said, you need to remember oceanfront hotels really take a beating. So definitely allow a little grace. But the bathroom shower stall looks like it hasn’t been “deep cleaned” in a while; there were some pink and black mold spots wherever there was caulk. That can easily be remedied with spraying some bleach from time to time. ||The pool deck is small. Not many places to layout in the sun if that’s what you’re wanting. It wouldn’t hurt if they expanded the pool deck into the pet area a little bit and they can put more lounge chairs. Just a suggestion.||The shower stall only has a partial shower door. So when you shower, water gets all over the place. Whoever came up with this idea didn’t think it through. They need to put up actual shower doors. This will protect their bathroom from water damage in the long run. Also, the lighting over the bathroom sink is horrible. They have the trendy framed light up vanity mirror but an overhead light over the mirror is desperately needed. ||For families looking for tons of things to do on property for kids…there isn’t much for them here so you may want to consider a different place.||With all of this being said, overall, this property is great and I would recommend to anyone I know going to MB (especially with pets) to book this property. Noise was never an issue either. I definitely plan on returning the next time I go to MB (especially if I have my dogs with me).||Thank you Residence Inn for providing my family a good place to stay for a much needed and...

Where to start… this hotel is the worst we experienced during our three visits to Myrtle Beach. We have stayed at other hotel chains like Hilton and Sheraton and have never encountered such a poor experience. We opted for an "expensive, highly overrated hotel" in hopes of enjoying our summer vacation. The cost for two weeks was equivalent to a 4 or 5-star hotel, yet we received a motel experience. We were misled by the ratings and reviews from others, which do not accurately represent the reality of this hotel.

Upon our arrival in the room, I noticed it was not thoroughly cleaned, so I took it upon myself to wipe everything down with disinfecting wipes. The receptionist informed us that the room would be cleaned and refreshed every 2 to 3 days. However, when the housekeeper arrived, she simply handed me towels and asked for the dirty ones. I politely inquired about cleaning the room, and she responded with an attitude, stating that refreshing the room only involved changing towels and that she wouldn’t clean our room until the 7th day of our stay. I was genuinely surprised; a hotel of this size should provide daily housekeeping, and the pandemic excuse for this lack of service should be a thing of the past. On the 7th day, the housekeeper came to change our bed sheets and mop the floor, but she did not clean the bathroom or vacuum the rug. The kitchen area was completely ignored.

The breakfast buffet is another problem. The scrambled eggs are excessively watery, and the overall quality of the food is quite poor and not fresh at all. Additionally, it is very crowded, requiring you to wait in line to get your food. Eventually, we decided to give up and began going out for breakfast.

Both pools are nice, but there are times when they are not cleaned, and you may find dead bugs in them.

Despite everything, I kept my cool until one morning when I found a cockroach in the bathroom. I mentioned it to my husband, who then revealed that he had also encountered a large one by the balcony door. He approached the front desk, and the staff member informed him that it wasn't a cockroach but rather a common insect in the area. I was convinced it was indeed a cockroach, and I couldn't shake that thought. After stepping outside and returning, we found another one on the kitchen ceiling( I took a picture of it). At that moment, I was certain the room was infested with cockroaches, and I refused to stay there for another second, especially with a baby crawling around. Eventually, they offered us a different room by 10 PM, but the hassle of moving all our luggage and belongings with the kids was incredibly overwhelming and tiring.

This was my first experience with Marriott, and it will certainly be my last, as I can tolerate many things but not a pest infestation. It was a huge disappointment and a disgusting experience… Please save your money and choose a more worthwhile...
