South Carolina Motels | Places to Stay in South Carolina

April 19, 2023 Leonardo Torrence

South Carolina has some great beaches along its eastern coast. Among the most notable of these is Myrtle Beach, the hub of the grand strand and the largest resort on the east coast of South Carolina. 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.

We were very fortunate to have made reservations at Best Western. It was very close to our grandson's graduation venue! Breakfast was very surprising. They had an abundance of choices and never seemed to run out. It was excellent!

Basic spot

Reviewed By rachaelpf

Easter weekend is busy on 95. This spot wasn’t my first choice but we needed a break and we had our dog so dog friendly was a must. Location is ideal and we were able To park our Jeep and trailer near the room and the lot was lit up and appeared to have cameras. I did feel the location was safe. Room was typical for older hotels, mostly dated with some upgrades. Bathroom very dated but shower was hot. Room smelled like bleach. Fridge convenient to unpack our cooler for the night. AC worked decent and couldn’t hear other rooms which was good because many pets were accompanying the guests. In room coffee wasn’t drinkable and “hot breakfast” was me grabbing a yogurt and granola bar along with more bad coffee and then hitting up a McDonalds…. Overall, for 150 bucks total, it was what it was…..

Excellent!

Reviewed By cyatraveler555

We haven't stayed in a Holiday Inn Express in quite a while. We were very impressed at the experience at HIE Charleston Convention. The hotel was very clean and every staff member we came across was very pleasant and professional. There were a few items we requested from guest services and they were immediately delivered to the door by a friendly employee. We came in with a sports team so we were also pleasantly surprised how quiet it was on our floor! Maybe we got lucky with quiet families around us or maybe the walls were thick enough to mute it but either case we didn't hear any other guests. The room was very nice. Beds were very comfortable. Breakfast offered hot/cold items. Even the shampoo/conditioner/body wash was a nice smelling brand which is always appreciated! We would definitely stay again!

Nice place to stay in Spartanburg

Reviewed By 771dwightg

I arrived at 2:30AM and the check-in went smoothly and with courtesy. Everything was explained loud enough that I could hear it through the glass, even with less-than-perfect hearing. The lot was well-lit with noticeable surveillance. The elevator worked smoothly, the room appeared spacious and the A/C had the room at a comfy temperature. Clean room with everything I could want. Multiple charging stations in the room. Hotel mattresses are always a bit firm for me, but everything was clean and smelled fresh. Bathroom was appointed as one would expect, and plenty of hot water. Should I find myself looking for a Spartanburg hotel with a noon checkout again, you know where to find me.

Dirty and smells like weed

Reviewed By 344glendab

We decided to leave for our vacation two days early. We arrived in Myrtle Beach very late and the office to the place we were staying for the week was closed so the Mermaid Inn was close by. Check in and check out was easy. Staff was nice but the rooms need updating very bad and wasn’t the cleanest. The parking lot smelled of weed. It’s definitely not a place I would spend my vacation. We stayed there two nights and I couldn’t wait to check out.

Dirty and Infested with Spiders

Reviewed By U2783HBcarolineb

Absolutely terrible. The room was disgusting and dirty and spiders were in the bed, bathroom, and all over the ceiling. There were over 15 spiders that we saw and had to get rid of. The sheets and towels were stained, floor not vacuumed and dirty, and carpet was sticky. Also this is a motel, not a hotel, so there is access to the rooms on ground level. Don’t stay here and spend the extra money to stay downtown.
