I've been around the world, and I must say this is actually the worst room I've ever stayed in, even worse than rooms I've gotten in Bangkok and the Philippines. It was very cramped, decrepit, and full of mosquitoes (until we turned on the air conditioner and they disappeared, hiding from the cold -- we smashed the stragglers). There was... More

I stayed here on a February weekend, during the off-season when rates are very low along the strip, and many of the money-gouging policies, like minimum 3-nights stay, are not in effect. This motel is very conveniently located to the downtown area, within walking distance. That, unfortunately, is part of the problem- this motel appears to be a spring break... More

This was our first trip to Myrtle Beach and we were very excited. We did not get to view the room in advance as there were people in the room until 3 pm. It costs us $109.00 for the one night even though the sign out front said $48 per night. But this is not about the money. There was... More

Let's just be real here: if you're checking into a place called the BUDGET INN, you kind of have to drop your expectations. Paid $60 for a room for one night and I don't regret it. Upon entering the room, yes, it smells pretty musty - cigarettes, maybe some mildew. Not so bad. Febreze should do the trick if it's... More

We checked in here after staying at the Lighthouse Motel for a couple of nights. The Lighthouse is the MGM Grand compared to this place by the way, but their rates tripled because of the holiday. After checking in, and signing away any chance of getting out of our stay at the Budget Inn, we ventured to our room. Upon... More

This place was completely, unthinkably horrid! Me and some of my friends paid for a weekend here on the fourth of July. Unknowing what we had gotten ourselves into because we became completely desperate for a room we paid $400 to stay here (literally the only thing available). Looking at the place from the outside leaves much to be desired... More
