This silky stretch of white sand is great for water-sports such as sailing and surfing. South Carolina is also regarded as one of the top golfing destinations in America. South Carolina has some notable historic towns which are worth visiting such as Charleston.

This was a terrific place to stay for a few days. Loved having the beach just a few steps away! Service was great and room was super clean. We also enjoyed how close Sonesta was to everything in Hilton Head. Super location! . Can’t wait to come back.

The Spectator Hotel

The only luxury boutique hotel in downtown Charleston with classically-trained butlers for a premier service, both attentive and individualized. A perfectly curated combination of Historic Charleston charm and luxurious urban amenities, The Spectator Hotel is just steps away from iconic destinations and award-winning cuisines. Distinctive guest rooms and suites exude 1920s glamor, with a refreshingly modern take. Local Southern Lady Mattresses and luxurious linens offer sumptuous slumber; and a gourmet continental breakfast delivered to your door each morning. Elegance over excess, discreet service over gaudy sensation, we anticipate our guests’ desires and service their every need, so they can look and feel their very best.

Fantastic

Location was perfect, we parked and walked just about everywhere. The hotel was pristine and the service impeccable. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary, so the staff sent up a bottle of bubbly. The mini fridge was stocked with complimentary beverages and local snacks. Everything was perfect about our stay.

Our favorite place to stay. We visit often. Staff is always wonderful. From housekeeping to bar to front desk always welcoming and nice.Stayed in oceanfront suite. Interior ones are better as parking lots not visible. Great rooms large with separate bedroom. 1.5 bath. Have added EV chargers recently. Level 2’s get about 14 miles per hour. Can’t count on them yet as they are not marked and non-EVs are in them usually. A great asset if can be counted on to be available. Definitely an asset. Pool bar staff is excellent. Only minor negative comment is that the pool bar/pool dining lunch menu has changed and is too sophisticated for an environment of pool swimmers and kids. Beet salad. Watermelon salad? Very little traditional food or salads available. We went to nearby hotel to get standard fare. Even tho you Can’t go wrong here. We will return soon.

Don’t stay here. There are better hotels for the money

Reviewed By Bryantstravels

This is a chain of sister condo/hotels. They will bait you in with deep discounts but add a bunch of junk fees. The place is old, dirty and dingy. Management does not care. Much nicer places for the $$. Room was filthy, toilet would not flush. Slide was not operating most of the time. Hot tubs constantly closed for chemical issues. Again, do not choose this place unless you can get it for $100 a night that is the most it is worth and that is because it is beachfront. Amenities such as the “miniature golf” should be closed or condemned. Not good!

Not worth the money AT ALL

The hotel was run down and trash. The rooms were humid and sticky, beds like sleeping on a box spring, and the property was poorly maintained. For the cost, totally not worth the money. I would not stay here even if it was cheaper. Lesson learned.

Awesome 3 night vacation.

Reviewed By NM L

Marriott Myrtle Beach was a great choice for a hotel. Location was away from the busy, crowded party atmosphere section of myrtle beach. You could walk to a few stores and restaurant but you really need a Uber or a car. There are restaurants on property. I went to the breakfast buffet it was 28.00 which I thought was reasonable and had a good selection, by the time you paid for an Uber and went to a local restaurant which still has same prices it comes out the same. I would fill up on breakfast then I was good until dinner. Our room was a semi ocean view, it was clean and bed was comfy. They do not do room cleaning everyday. You can ask for more towel and toilet paper. At front desk or at Oceans you can ask for bottle water. FYI the do sell Starbucks coffee but I preferred the free coffee at Oceans Restaurant that they put out every morning. The staff through out the hotel was very friendly and nice. Shout out to Maggie the pool wait staff she did a awesome job. Also Krista Ward (maybe a supervisor) who helped out other people in our group. We would definitely stay there again.

Not worth the extra money, better hotels in the area

Reviewed By IrinaVuono

Check-in was a nightmare, too much information at one time. Calling the front desk to ask for recommendations and it was like I was bothering the girl who answered. Asked to have a different room with a better view and was told simply no by a "Supervisor Tim" He wouldn't even consider my situation, just simply no, too bad pretty much. Asked to speak with an actual manager, I was told a Jenna was busy and would call me - nobody ever called me. We wound up checking out early and going to a different hotel. Not up to Marriott's standards.
