Hotéis Residence Inn em Myrtle Beach

This was out third stay at this property. Our first stay was when is first opened. We stayed for 4 nights and overall had a great experience. Star at the front desk was really nice and very informative. Here are the Pros & Cons of this hotel. Pros: -They have done a decent job keeping up with the maintenance of the property. -The lobby/common area is bright, modern, and offers an amazing view of the beach. Wether you are eating breakfast or just want to read a good book in an inviting atmosphere -Room-spacious (we used suite rewards to upgrade to an executive double queen studio), full kitchen, decor was modern and flooring allows room to look and smell clean since there is no wall to wall carpeting. -Large balcony-can store beach chairs and umbrella, while still having room to sit -Ocean view and Oceanfront rooms both offered nice views (we have stayed in both types) -Location-quiet less populated area of the beach. This may be a con for some because there is not a lot to do within walking distance. -Fitness area-modern equipment, spacious enough. Included ellipticals, treadmills, weight machine, balls, etc. Cons -Bathroom- spacious, but not sure why there is only half of a shower door. I also wish that the shower head was detachable. -Breakfast could be improved. When we visited a couple of years ago the buffet had things like Brie cheese & chocolate croissants. No such luck this time. The quality is not great (eg. tasteless eggs, watery oatmeal, limited fruit selection). -Housekeeping-this is an extended stay location so they no longer clean your room everyday. You only get a “refresh” (remove trash and replace towels) after 3 days. I wish Marriott would remove the option in the APP for housekeeping everyday for these hotels. You opt in only to find out it’s not possible. -Parking garage-it’s tight and challenging to maneuver, but I appreciate that it’s covered, easy to get to, and there is ample parking. There are 15 min check in areas on the first floor which are helpful. The problem is that people still double park and cause traffic to back up. -Beach-the area in front of the hotel is very rocky (bring water shoes). I also did not like that the chair rental company set up their items in a line (chairs & umbrella) obscuring the view for everyone else. We were forced to set up our chairs behind theirs and did not have as nice a view of the water. Overall, we still like this property and will eventually come back.
