Ocean Forest Plaza - Myrtle Beach 33.72603, -78.83854

The hotel itself seems to be rather far from stores and other locations one may need to visit and the staff seemed somewhat unhelpful. Good the first and second day, but seemed almost not present at all. The parking garage was also something of a hassle as well due to the narrow ramps to each level. Regardless of these setbacks, what you're getting for the price alone would make me want to stay there again.

THE RATES WHERE GREAT. THE STAFF WERE VERY NICE AND HELPFUL. MY ROOM WAS AMAZING FOR THE PRICE. I HAD FULL OCEAN VIEW. I LOVED THE WAY THE ROOMS ARE SET UP WITH SMALL KITCHENS. THE KITCHENS HAVE EVERTHING YOU NEED AND MORE.THE PARKING WASN'T THAT BAD LIKE THE OTHER REVIEWS SAID. I HAVE A EXPLORE XLT AND COULD GET IN OR OUT THE PARKING GARAGE WITH NO PROBLEM. I WAS A LITTLE SCARED AT FIRST BUT THAT NEXT DAY PARKING WAS OKAY. THE HOTEL HAVE EVERYTHING I COULD EVER WANT. I WILL GO BACK EVERY YEAR FOR THE THE REST OF MY LIFE. I LOVE THIS HOTEL. THANKS FOR GIVING MY FAMILY A WONDERFUL VACATION.

it was very nice and quite as well as relaxing. hotel was very clean and neat.staff was eager to help and assist in every matter towels,trash etc.

Although our room was a little run down, It was just perfect for our vacation. Would stay again.

The room was very nice and roomy it was a total of six of us and we had plenty of space. Parking wasn't as bad as I had read in the reviews before I went but you do have to take your time. The only down all was internet access, they say you have dail-up access in your room but when I called the girl at front desk she was not aware of it and told me that there was free high speed in the lobby so I went down there only to find the my laptop could not pick it up. But it did pick up service from a surrounding hotel and wanted us to pay $9.95 for the day so that was good cause we were able to use it in the room as well. But other than that the stay was great and I would come again.

This hotel was very nice and clean what ever we asked for we got. Front desk was very friendly and nice. Looking forward to staying there again.

I expected this hotel to be very crappy from a lot of the reviews I read but my friend insisted we get this one because it was 50 percent off. When I got there the outside and lobby was not all that impressive but it wasnt horrible, the staff wasnt friendly but she made an effort. But the room was very spacious and nice with a great view of the ocean. There was a terrible odor that lingered the first day we were there but it eventually dissappeared. I suggest this hotel hire a more friendly staff and use cleaning products that dont make the room smell like a warehouse. Other than that the place was very nice for the price I paid.

That is what I was told when I went to the front desk for some more blankets. That this was not a "Hotel" that it was a home owners resort. Lets start with the good; good location, nice beach, decent pool area. The bad; terrible parking, front desk staff were rude the whole stay, rooms were smaller than expected. Let me tell you how the stay went: We arrived at 12:30 pm in Myrtle Beach. We had been on the road for 16 hours so we decided to see if maybe they had our room available for an early check in. They said no, which is acceptable, and that check in was a 4pm. Came back a 4pm, was told that our room was not ready and that it could be closer to 5. At 4:45, after complaining, the front desk lady let us go to our room. We went to ask for more blankets, because the fold out sofa did not have any, when we asked, they said it was not a hotel and that it was a homeowners resort, and the homeowners would have to pay for more blankets. The toilet overflowed, we called to have them come clean it up, and put our towels down. They came to clean it up, and then refused to give us towels. The front desk lady hung up on us. She told us that we would have to call housekeeping in the morning to get new towels. Hotels.com was contacted about canceling the reservation and booking somewhere else. They called the manager, and all the items that we needed were there within 5 mins of hanging up with hotels.com. In the welcome book in the room it said towels were available at the front desk for the pool. They either did not have them, or refused to give some out the whole trip. The 7th floor restaurant was closed the whole time we were there. The pool side bar was not open, which is understandable, it was only 70F there. If you drive anything other than a sub compact, be very careful in the parking garage. There is an outdoor parking lot to the north of the building, which we used because we had a van. There are marks all over the walls of the parking garage, and there is ba

The lobby was pretty small and reeked of unpleasant odors. The rooms also had an odor after housekeeping came and cleaned it.

The room was great, well located,clean,with friendly staff. The only negative was a strange odor in the room I could not identify. We opened the balcony door to bring in fresh air and that helped.

This was a wonderful stay. We had good service, and the room was clean and comfortable. We booked only a few days before our trip, so on short notice, it was especially great to find such a comfortable hotel. Granted, we went during a cold season, and the halls are exposed to the weather, so it was a chilly walk. Other than that, the hotel was great. The parking on the other hand needed some attention. We have a GMC Yukon, which doesn't really fit in the parking deck. There is outside parking on the first floor for oversized vehicles, but cars were parking there too. At night once most people had returned to the hotel, it was hard to find a space. Had we booked during a more popular time frame (like summer time) we probably would have had a hard time finding a place to park if they do not enforce their parking rules.

Great room for the money, convinient to Broadway.

Not as clean as what I would have liked. The carpet had stains on it and the towels they delivered the second day smelled bad. When we went to make coffee the second day 3 flys floated to the top of the coffee pot.

1. Horrible parking deck 2. We had one bedspread on the bed when we arrived, called the front desk and never was able to get another bedspread. We had 2 double beds, using both beds. 3. Each time we needed toilet paper we had to go down to the front desk. (3 times) 4. We always had to call for extra towels and go get them ourselves. 5. One young man at the front desk was friendly, one else seemed to know what was going on. And did not care. 6. Restaurant people were great!

Pro: spacious living room, good ocean view, close to beach(cross street). Cookware/dineware. Cons: tight parking garage(multi-level, but only a few very small spots each level, very tricky to park), hot water won't last long. In the middle of the 3rd person taking bath, hot water is out. Had to ask to finish in another room. Coffee maker provided without coffee.

I took my 3 children to Myrtle Beach on a rare vacation (I'm a single Mom). Not only was our stay comfortable, it was also affordable. The only downside that I saw was the parking garage. It is very tight. I have a small car (Hyandai)and I had to be careful. I could see were other cars had scraped the sides. But they do reserve spaces on the lower level for larger autos and SUV's. I would definately stay there again!

Parking was limited especially if you drive a large vehicle.

It was a very nice room. I stayed there on Valentines Day, and earlier that Day i had sent my boyfriend on a romantic scavenger hunt. His last stop was here. The beach is on "our beach" so it just made it all the more better. Our room wasn't exactly ocean view, we had a room that was positioned on the side of the building, but you still had a great view of the beach. They don't offer complimentary breakfast, but they do have a cute restaurant on the 7th floor. It wasn't all that great, but it was fairly cheap. Most of the food was cold, but you could have your eggs special ordered which would come out nice and warm (this is what we chose to do). The parking garage is really tight. It is almost too small for the cars to fit in. You can see where numerous cars have scraped the cement trying to go up a level, or down a level. We certainly did and we drive a Toyota Camry. Overall, it was a nice experience and I would recommend it, as long as you park outside of their parking garage!

We were just looking for a one night stay at a hotel. It was more than we were expecting for a room, the view was great, easy check in and check out

When we got there, we got right in. That was nice since we where travaling with our 6 month old son. Parking is tight. The room was clean and we had a GREAT view of the beach and ocean. The hotel needs some updating. Its a little run down. The pool was nice and its a short walk to the beach. Some of the lights didn't work or they where broke, but other then that we had a great time. We will stay again. The one bedroom suite is the way to go. To bad they didn't have any with bigger beds. We have a king at home and going to a full size bed was tight. We sleep in both beds the 2nd night.

Nice oceanfront room with great view. Room was clean and comfortable. Excellent location to beach, right across a quiet street. Hotel/Condo Rental building is in residential area, a big plus if your looking for non-crowded beach. The only complaint is housekeeping. We stayed four nights and housekeeping only showed up twice. They did not vacuum the rug (sand) and did not replace towels, nor did they wipe anything down. Housekeeping was very, very bad. Other than that I would stay again for the great price during August.

This is the second time that I have stayed at this hotel and I was just as pleased this time as I was last time. Hotel is five steps away from the beach and this section of the beach is not very crowded. The only issue I have is that the pool closes at 10:00 p.m. and if you do not get to the pool first thing in the morning you will not get a chair because most of them are reserved before the pool opens.

Room was filthy when we arrived.Had reserv for a SMOKING room.No smoking signs in room.Called front desk,they said ignore signs.Paid for an ocean front room,got side room,front desk stated no guarantees!

Hotel was worth the money that was paid. Stayed in a two room suite which was larger than others I have stayed in. A few improvements would be good but for the price I cannot complain.

My friends and I stayed at the hotel. I read some of the reviews after I booked the room. I was a little worried, but was very pleased with the hotel and the staff. We had a great time and have we are planning another trip this winter and we have already said we would stay here again.

This hotel overall was okay, however, the rooms are not cleaned at an appropriate time. It wasn't late afternoon when our room was cleaned and we had to go and ask them to clean it! There is a restaruant on the premises but it only serves breakfast after that it is closed for the day. We had to have our room changed 4 times when we got there because our first original room was not the room we were suppose to have, then the second room was smelly etc, etc. The best thing about this place is it is only across the street from the beach so the ocean views were very nice. Ok for the money but needs improvement....

This hotel was wonderful for my husband and son (5years old). It has it own water park. Well maintain pools. Beautiful view of the beach. We did not do much of the tourist things since there was so much fun on the hotel property.

it was kind of out of date but that's it

As we drove up I wasn't impressed,but kept an open mind.They have a very late check-in,which meant we had to kill about 2.5 hrs.We asked for a non-smoking room but they didn't have one.another couple wanted one also and got upset when they didn't get it,so they canceled.We went to look at the room first(expecting it to smell bad).To our PLEASANT surprise the room was on the 22nd flr and was clean,comfortable and smelled nice.The parking garage is very narrow.The rooms are on an intercom system,and the hotel doesn't believe in sleeping past 8am.We were awoke 3 days in arow by a general anouncement over the intercom.I had to ask for a manager to get towels replaced After calling housekeeping 3 times in one day and getting different excuses.The neighbors were noisy but that was the hotels fault.For a Sands Resort I wasn't impressed.There are some other hotels around that "looked better" for our next trip. However with that being said, Overall,for the money,We were pleased,we would stay there again and I would recommend the hotel to others."just bring your own towels,glad we did".

front desk people really unfriendly, we arrived to hotel 3 hours earlier then check time and they were careless with the situation. hotel smells very bad, start from elevator and go to your room hallway and the room, is terrible.i would not go back to that hotel ever again.

The hotel overall was not bad, it was the customer service that was bad! The toilet in our room didn't work so they had to switch us to a different room. The front desk clerk was very rude about it. She even suggested that we go up and down the elevator, to another restroom, everytime we had to use the bathroom! That is rediculous, I am paying for a room, I should have a working toilet in that room!

The hotel itself is nice. We had much of a problem getting our rooms clean and they weren't clean when we arrived...with things such as crumbs/hair in bed, razor caps in shower, things left in fridge, etc. The maids came too early a couple of times and when asked to come back, they never did and we had to call 3 times up until 4 pm one day to get service. I honestly liked the hotel, the area, and the accomodities that were offered, but the room service really lacked.

The room was very large. We had a great view of the ocean without paying the "ocean view" prices. The beach is right across the street. At high tide there isn't a lot of shoreline left, but enough to lay out..early afternoon it has a nice sized beach. Staff was helpful too. Pretty close location to downtown stretch with shops, and 'Broadway at the Beach' is only about 1mile away. The only bad thing I can really say is that the indoor pool /spa was down for sanding and painting for about 2 weeks.

This hotel was well worth the money. I was very imoressed with this hotel. I liked the fact that it had a sister hotel that had a water park, lazy river, out door pool, indoor pool, and a hot tub that we could use. I would definitely stay at thiw hotel again.

The hotel was somewhat satifactory to my and my family needs. However, it does need improvement with their elevator service, and the upkeeping and maintenance of the suites. Since we stay there for two nights only it was no major deal. Anything more than two nights I would not consider this hotel. They need to do some major renovation.

One of the elevator was not working during my 2nights stay, makes people need to spend long time waiting for the elevator. The Linen smell weird. Towels are below standard. Room sevice clean the room but forgot to vacuum.

the hallways smelled very musty
