Honest review here, we arrived staff was very nice. Our room had a weird smell especially around the air conditioner. Floor was sticky feeling we just wore our shoes 24/7, we were given 4 towels for 6 of us which was fine I brought some due to previous reviews. We found a total of 5 cockroaches all along the wall that adjoined their supply closet, no bed bugs and beds were comfy. It was quiet, very close to the beach. I probably wouldn’t stay again but it wasn’t horrible.

Okay so this property is not the Ritz so adjust your expectations. We arrived early in the day and were pleasantly surprised to be able to check right in. We stayed in 108. Initially the room smelled bad and had a leaky refrigerator. I told the lady at the front desk and shortly she had someone bring another refrigerator. Housekeeping came in and mopped several times, as it was clear that the fridge was the source of the odor. Once it was throughly cleaned they sprayed some fabreeze and the smell was truly gone. I was impressed with the overall cleanliness of the room. The beds were decent, the sheets smelled clean and there was no mold in the bathroom. The towels were clean but a bit rough but what do you expect at this price. The housekeeping staff was so nice and took pride in the fact that their little motel is kept clean despite its general shabbiness. The beach was very close and there is an ice cream shop just across the street. It rained the night we stayed so we didn’t notice anyone hanging around the parking lot. The rooms next to us has people in them but we didn’t really hear anyone . Overall a great find- we would stay there again. Tips: 1. Bring a broom to sweep out your room after going to the beach 2. Bring small amount of cash for ice to fill your cooler 3. Only provide 1 parking space but there was plenty of parking right next to the rooms 4. We booked through Expedia and were not asked for any cash deposit as indicated by other reviews

Excellent staff makes all the difference
The staff was excellent and made all the difference. An older hotel, could use some updating. But the room was clean enough, and everything worked. You can't help who the hotel lets stay, but when we had a large, ridiculously loud family next door blaring music and the kids throwing firecrackers, the staff took care of the Addams Family right away. Then we got some sleep. Overall, the staff (all of them) made our stay better than it would've been.

Save your money or spend a little more elsewhere
My husband and I booked a trip for 5 days. On the first day I was ready to leave. The room was horrible. There was old candy on the floor around the bed and side chairs, no kitchen area as website had shown and there was a hairy mess around the toilet. The air conditioner barely worked and looked as if it was ready to fall off the wall at any given second. I thought after the first night since the room was being occupied they would clean better...nope. I was completely uncomfortable with the whole thing. We did end up leaving a few nights early. I will say that we saw no bugs(thank goodness) but i would not recommend this hotel if you're looking for even a decent getaway. Also, this place was surrounded by homeless people hanging around the parking lot, which was unfortunate because we had quite a few asking for money, to use our phones or to just ramble. I'm not knocking homelessness but when you have an older lady getting high in your "pathway" to the beach it can be unsettling. We have been going to Myrtle twice a year for the past eight years but i think this year did me in.

An average older beachfront motel. Has been fixed up some, but there is only so much you can do with such properties. Good location, and all rooms have at least partial ocean views. Some guest were a bit rough & noisy, but quieted down at 11 pm. Reserved a non-smoking room, but got a smoking one. No offensive odor so decided not to request relocation. Would stay again if only looking for basic accommodations in a resort area.

I rated this property as "ok" only due to the fact that it was so inexpensive to stay at. Check-in process was a lot more complicated than it needed to be (wanted to see my wife's ID at check-in when in fact I had made a room reservation for two people - did they think she was a prostitute?). The room was also not very clean...had dog hair on the dust-cover blanket and what looked like dried up dog food on the floor (maybe hotels in Myrtle Beach should consider having a "pet-free" option for a room). Also had to show a copy of my check-in receipt when I left in the morning because apparently my name "disappeared" from their database. A lot of incompetence but for the low price and the fact we were just there to sleep it was tolerable.

My stay at Sea Dunes was overall good except for we were unable to get ice I was told that ice was only for the residents facing the ocean I think they call it triage rooms the rooms in the back. But the overall room was clean and housekeeping provided great service.

Property is old, no elevator so be prepared to lug belongings up 2 flights of stairs. Had trouble getting clean towels, room cleanliness was awful. Lamp shades looked like they had throw up on them, A/C hadn’t been cleaned in some time, behind toilet on floor was nasty, not cleaned. Old doesn’t mean it can’t be clean. Would not stay again.

Disappointing
This room was advertised as having a partial ocean view with a balcony. Instead it was a view of the parking lot and a chair outside the door in the walkway. The door did not seal well at the bottom, so smoke from the employees on their smoke break drifted in. This area is very loud.

The price is great!
We were pleasantly surprised by our stay. It was lower priced than others that are not nearly as nice. It is a small older motel on the oceanfront. We were able to park just a few feet from our door. The laminate flooring was new. The room was spacious with 2 very comfortable queen beds, 4 tables and 6 chairs. The kitchenette was small but included a stove with oven as well as microwave and refrigerator. We were making a quick return trip to Myrtle Beach so we did not have time to use pools and other amenities that the resorts have and charge an extra fee for. I would definitely recommend this place and will plan to stay there again.
