The 10 Worst Rated Motels (From Actual Reviewers) in MYRTLE BEACH! By Top-Rated.online for 2022

[@CAROLINATONY]

Loved it. Yall should do a video on the cheapest place to stay with reviews

[@BeachinwiththeBoones]

Great idea!! We'll put that on our list too. Hope all is well.

[@FrontiersmanAdventures]

We've been watching your videos! Figured I better start commenting! Keep up the great work. We love Myrtle Beach, especially Surfside, and we love Nags Head as well.

Happy Holiday was my wife's first experience in Myrtle Beach 30 years ago. All I can do is shake my head when I drive by.

[@BeachinwiththeBoones]

Oh wow! Maybe back then it was top notch. Things change so fast. I'm sure she enjoys her own pool now. Especially, since you converted it to be outside now. When you get that Tiki Bar set up, let us know. lol.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

What a line up of dumpster fires lol. Probably need some haz-mat suits if you went in these spots. thanks for the work guys! Other than the lady with the blue hair..... lol.

[@BeachinwiththeBoones]

I know. I thought that was funny too. And you may be right about haz-mat suits. lol Thanks for watching. Hope all is well with you guys.

[@Americafirst-i8q]

My friend suggested this to me years ago anytime he goes to a hotel or a motel no matter how clean it is he takes his sleeping bag with him gets in the sleeping bag and zips it up that way he doesn't have to worry about anything crawling on him or biting him😀

[@BeachinwiththeBoones]

Thanks for the ideas! I believe we have Family Kingdom on our list for next week. We'll try to get the others lined up. Thanks.

[@keepamerica2astrong280]

As a local these reviews are spot on. Anything south of 8th ave North is, let's just say, not nice. Yes there may be a few that are nice but overall that area is to be avoided. It is sad that people spend their money expecting a good experience, but then again, you have to do your research before booking a place to stay. Sad how the south end has become so trashy and run down. Hopefully one day it will come back and be a nice family area to stay as it was 30 years ago, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. I'm guessing if you did all the bad places to stay on the south end your vid would have been 2+ hours long. 😂 Great vid as usual...

[@BeachinwiththeBoones]

Possibly so. I think eventually, the smaller places will be absorbed and torn down to build larger ones, like Ocean's One and stuff. Maybe in 50 years, the whole strip will back to normal again. lol. Full circle. However, sadly, without a Pavilion. I think those days have gone.

[@jonnydanger7181]

When I was a kid in the 70’s the Days Inn was called “8 days Inn” with the 8 in the yellow sun at the top. It was so bad we would hold our breath everytime we drove past one on our way down to Florida.

[@BeachinwiththeBoones]

Lol. That's bad. We have a current Top 5 we did a few weeks ago. Check it out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXq0q5uborKhf80

I made a video years ago of a review of The Wayfarer Motel in Myrtle. It was so gross with bugs, dirt and stunk so bad.

[@BeachinwiththeBoones]

Man, that's horrible. Hope they clean up all those places soon. Thanks.

[@PlayingInVestapol]

@2:33 - Days Inn is a franchise. How can it be on a worst list? 4:33 - Surly not Bar Harbor .we started to stay once, But chose The Windsurfer instead. Wait, If the elevator only when up. How did it go up again? These hotels are getting worse every year. I pray these reviewers are exaggerating. 9:38 - My only complaint about the Polynesian was it felt like I was living below sea level. My wife and I didn't leave the Motel at night because there was people always hanging out in the parking deck and I didn't carry a firearm at that time. Thing is back in the 80's The Polynesian was like a Flagship motel. Key words: "You may wanna read the reviews". Thanks Great video.

[@BeachinwiththeBoones]

Thank you for the input. And very well stated on the issues. The Polynesian was the flagship for sure. Many of these places were great in the 60's-80's. And I stayed in several back in the 80's too. By the way, I never thought about that elevator continuing to always go up. Lol I laughed so hard, I couldn't write this response. Lol

[@marthabradas8873]

Wow, a bit scary for sure, thanks for the video

[@BeachinwiththeBoones]

Yes I know. Sometimes you have to be careful what you rent. Thank you so much for watching.

[@freedomwanderer91]

Wow, most of these are on the south end of the strand. Remember folks, MB is a spring break party town. Not great for families. I would use airbnb for best results here at the beach. Thanks for sharing.

[@BeachinwiththeBoones]

Yes, the south end looks like it needs a bit more updating than the north. Hopefully, MB will continue their revitalization that they've been doing. It's just taking too long I suppose. Thanks for the info.

That's good to hear. Hopefully, they are getting better. Thanks for sharing.

[@michaelrains2268]

I have friends who have stayed at Bar Harbor , and they have had glowing reviews on the hotel. No, it's not a big nor fancy or have some of the amenities that the big-name hotels do, but it's budget friendly, especially in off-season, even with a balcony and ocean front view .

[@scottcoleman2876]

Can't believe the Wave Rider wasn't on the list!

[@BeachinwiththeBoones]

I know. We could only do what was on their site. However, there were many we thought should be on the list too. We may do our own list - by a visual ride by one day.

[@dougburket2157]

A lot of people have too high expectations for what they are paying if u want perfection your probably going to be disappointed on a budget friendly hotel especially with labor shortage

[@dougburket2157]

I also stayed in Polynesian in 2018 with no issues found nothing like what reviews said

[@BeachinwiththeBoones]

The Poly was on someone else's list at number one worst, but when we filmed it, it didn't look all that horrible. There were many more in the area that looked way worse. I think people just like to leave bad reviews. Thanks for putting that out there. Glad you had a nice stay.

[@RhondaA]

That Days Inn oceanfront was a dump back when we stayed there back in 1984 and it was called the Foxfire. Probably should be torn down.

[@BeachinwiththeBoones]

I think I remember that name. Never stayed there, but that would be an old building by now. Thanks.

[@alanhodge984]

you missed Tropical Seas in S. Myrtle Beach 'pet friendly' means dog hairs on beds bugs, smoking customers, loud music, used to be nice but not any more

[@BeachinwiththeBoones]

Man, that's crazy. Thanks for sharing.

[@BillMurray615]

I’ve stayed at both of those Days Inn locations and never had any issues. You have to take google reviews with a grain of salt, people expect five star accommodations from a budget-friendly chain motel. I’ve never seen any roaches at either location, housekeeping was always attentive and friendly, and the rooms were always clean.

[@BeachinwiththeBoones]

Thank you for sharing. Those did look better than others. We stayed in a Days Inn in the mountains and it was fine. I think you're right about some people wanting a 5 star.

[@2236firearms]

Any places you would suggest. I've been coming to myrtle for 20 years and always stay at Sandy Beach Resort but it is going down hill. I stopped coming to myrtle for a few years but stayed there again last week and was disappointed with the room. It had broken furniture and the resort does not enforce the no smoking policy at all. I know that's hard to police but 2 nights out of the week the entire 10th floor smelled like marijuana and every night that was all I smelled on my ocean front balcony. It was so bad my 4 year old asked whats that stinky smell. And if you complain the staff act as if you are the issue and not the smokers. Just looking for something a little more family friendly either in north myrtle or a better section of myrtle maybe even surfside. I'm just not familiar with any nice places in those areas and it seems even the ones with high ratings have alot of recent bad reviews.

[@BeachinwiththeBoones]

We are working on the top 5 motels on Ocean Blvd. But even then, they may not be as nice as one of the high rise expensive ones. Retro Myrtle Beach Guy showed some good things on the Waikiki Village. Check out his video on that one. That may be one to look into - but we've never stayed there. Hope this helps.

[@larryburwell8550]

give them hell Boones!!! i laughed till i cried watching this video and listening to the reviews lol. i always wanted to stay in a hotel room that has bloodstains on the bed the size of a body lol. give me a break!! i gotta go back and watch more of these older videos. what a comedy!! its sad though that families got stuck with these rooms. but its still funny as hell the reviews. 5 star reviews guys. maybe you need to buy body armor next time you do these. this is a classic i gotta share with my family. they have a sense of humor too. its sad but funny. i cant help myself.

[@BeachinwiththeBoones]

We're overdue for a new one, so we'll see what we can do soon. I'll try to find the best review to call out. Maybe I should put my comments behind each to give it more pizazz. Lol

Bar Harbor has been there for many years. We used to stay there everytime. Of course that was 30-40 years ago so I'm sure she has aged.

[@BeachinwiththeBoones]

Yes it does look nice. We thought that it would be one of the better ones too. Of course we were going off of other people's ranking opinions. It may be a really nice place to stay.

[@chadmiller2224]

@@BeachinwiththeBoones You cant beat 59 a night that close to the ocean. It's nice for lower income families who have kids to be able to afford to stay close to the ocean. Usually hotels near ocean are overpriced. Heck your only using it as a place to sleep.

[@BeachinwiththeBoones]

You're exactly right. We wish the high price hotels were cheaper too. Bar Harbor is super affordable. And that close to the ocean at a price like that is hard to beat. Thanks for sharing.

[@redzgirl2476]

Lol reminds me of the motel, I think it was something by Windham, down in Texas when I drove to visit my husband in the Oilfield. I overpaid to the tune of 450 bucks (non refundable) because it was the only thing available in town, and after driving 14 hours, it was a crack shack. Literally. The front desk had a curtain behind it and I think there was a strip club or something going on behind there, they had literal prostitutes hanging out at the back stairway that you had to use because the elevator did t work, I had to carry my pistol to get stuff out of the car every time, the hallways smelled like curry Indian food and Marijuana, the pool was filled with trash and broken patio furniture, and then THE ROOM smelled like an old broken refrigerator that had food left in it, the hallway beside our room had the windows open (and it was summertime in south texas), there was walmart sacks tied over the smoke detectors, there was wires hanging out of light sockets, the air conditioner was weak, the bedding seemed forever unwashed and I tore off the comforters so my kids wouldn't touch them and had to use the throw blankets from the car, I was literally hanging dryer sheets from the air conditioner trying to help with the smell... and that was 450. No wonder it was non refundable. I don't remember ever being so pissed off at a business in my life... it was absolutely disgusting... anyway I just wanted to share, this list is really valuable to those who wouldnt know any better. lmao have a good one.

[@BeachinwiththeBoones]

Thanks for sharing your experience. We hate when that happens to us. It's horrible sometimes when we pay a lot of money and the room is in that condition. Hope you get a nicer one when you get to the beaches around here. Thanks for sharing.

Not sure. We'll have to look next time we're on the Blvd.

[@gregdolecki8530]

I knew which one was #1 even before I got to the end. I have stayed at the Bay View across the street but never again. The clientele who stay at the Happy Holiday end up at the Bay View pool even though they are not supposed to be there. It's definitely ghetto at the beach. Now I'll only stay in north Myrtle Beach.

[@BeachinwiththeBoones]

That's horrible. Those two are way too close to each other to be so different. Of course, they just remodeled, painted, and tried to clean it up. It's no longer Happy Holidays. Of course, we're not sure if it will have a better clientele or stay the same.

[@ThinkinMan]

So you don’t stay or visibly inspect the hotel just reading back others reviews?

Yes, just reading back reviews and rating from others as we show the outside of the motels in real time.
