Clean hotel, luv the bed, but the bathroom...
if we go back to that area, i may consider staying there again. the only thing that would hold me back would be the bathroom. it is just so tiny. i am not a huge, huge person, but i do like room to move around. the tub & toilet is in an area about 8'x 5'. and the shower is a great height if you are like 4.5' tall. when i was my hair (which is really long) i had to bend so far back, til it actually hurt my back and i am 5.8' tall. the bathroom looked to have been painted recently, but really needs a good update. the shower was so backupped, til it was like taking a shower and a bath at the same time. it tub held about 6" of water while showering cuz the drainage was so slow.
we did get in the pool once, however i was scared to touch the side. we have a 4yr old also, so that was even scarier. the water was clean and clear, but there appeared to be black looking stuff stuck on the cement. we were also charged a small fee (like 2 cents) for making local calls on the phone.
the room was GREAT!! nice and clean!! and ohhh, the bed was the BEST that i have ever slept on in a hotel. i even told my husband i wished i had one like it at home. this bed was a plus with the back problem that i have. the room looks like is was recently updated, carpet was clean and soft. bedding was also clean as were the towels/washclothes. we were on a 5n/6d vacation. the 1st 3n we were in the myrtle beach area, then the last 2n, we were in pawley's island at best western. if we had of know about b/w, we would have stayed there all 5n. we paid b/w 89.00 a nite on the weekend in june whereas most other hotels were double that, some even triple. i've told people if i go that way again, i'd stay in pawley's island. this is so much better than staying in myrtle beach with all of the crowd & some of the run down hotels on the beach. my opinion, alot of hotel on myrtle beach should be shut down cuz they are very nasty looking. i told a few ppl that i would not stay in some of those hotels if i were offered it for free. best western was quiet and not that crowded. i think it is a good family area!!
overall, on a scale 1-10, i would give best western a 9. the bathroom is the only thing holding it back from getting a 10. however, if i had to choose between a small bathroom or a good bed (like b/w has), i would choose a good bed. so, 4.5* for best western!!
we enjoyed it!!
also, i did not report to the desk about the slow drainage or the pool, so they may have or may not have taken care of it.
