Ocean Plaza, Myrtle Beach

I would not recommend this place. The office was never open, had to go to the hotel next door. We were unhappy with the room. A spring was coming through one mattress, the other bed appeared to falling down. I called the front desk and they refused to give us a refund. I wanted a refund and was planning on finding somewhere else to stay. They did offer to allow us to move to another room or change out the mattresses. We left the room and when we returned they had changed one mattress but not the other. I called to the office and the maintenance man changed the second mattress. The mattress that they removed was nasty!!! The water in the tub would not shut off, the entire faucet was loose, the ceiling tiles over the shower would move up and down when the wind was blowing through the balcony door, the exhaust fan in the bathroom looked like it would fall off the ceiling and it didn't work because after each shower everything in the bathroom was wet from the steam, the water was actually running down the mirror and the sink. The room just was not at all clean!! You could tell that the facility is old and very run down. The outside pool looked nasty!! The door wouldn't close well. I definitely wouldn't leave anything valuable in the room. It was fairly cheap but I guess you get what you pay for!!!

I was really concerned because I had read reviews before our vacation. I was not disappointed. We went there in September and when we arrived the clerk was very nice and explained if we needed anything to go to the motel next door. We got a room on the 6th floor, it was older but very clean. We were staying for 7 days so on Monday we asked the clerk if we could change to a floor on a lower level. They put us in a room that was pool side and faced the beautiful ocean. Still clean. The bathroom tub wouldn't drain, the desk clerk called the maintenance personnel and they were there within the hour and fixed it. The cleaning staff were very nice and efficient. They brought clean towels every morning and asked if we wanted them to clean. I loved the location. 20 yards to the beach and two steps to the pool. The indoor pool was very clean as well as the hot tubs. Our stay was wonderful and I will go again. The rates were very good. If you like being close to the ocean and not paying sky rocketing prices I would recommend the Ocean Plaza.
