The beachfront Ocean 22 by Hilton Grand Vacations opened in 2015 as an upper-middle-range option that draws families and couples. It features lovely indoor and outdoor pools that include a sunbathing lawn and a seasonal bar. There's also a well equipped fitness center, as well as a game room stocked with toys and games. Though there's no full restaurant here, the hotel has an inviting lobby bar and a small shop selling snacks, sandwiches, and Starbucks coffee. The 220 one-, two-, and three-bedroom suites are sleek and contemporary, and all come with furnished balconies, living rooms, and full kitchens decked out with stainless steel appliances. Expect to pay a resort fee that covers self-parking (valet parking is extra), Wi-Fi, and two bottles of water. Travelers looking for more activities might want to consider Captain’s Quarters Resort, which is not as chic or modern, but has a water park, bowling alley, and arcade.

There’s a lot of promise at the two-and-a-half-pearl Carolinian Beach Resort. In 2017, it updated 100 rooms to a contemporary style not often seen among the Myrtle Beach beachfront properties and are planning to do the same with the Suites (which have kitchens) in 2018. A free hot breakfast is a nice perk, but there’s no restaurant or bar on-site. Families and couples have a lot of water amenities to choose from, from the beach to lazy rivers, hot tubs, and indoor and outdoor pools. One major annoyance is resort fees, weekend surcharges, and marketing fees added to rates. Couples enjoy Carolinian Beach Resort’s relaxed and not overly family-focused vibe, but might consider North Beach Plantation which has an upscale design, spa, and swim-up bar.

Guests don’t seem to mind that the mid-range Hampton Inn Myrtle Beach - Broadway at the Beach is a 30-minute walk from the Myrtle Beach beachfront. Most are happy the hotel is in the Broadway at the Beach complex, packed with dining and entertainment options, which is great since the hotel lacks a restaurant and bar. It helps that the hotel offers a free hot breakfast buffet and indoor and outdoor pools. The 141 rooms were updated in 2016 and are equipped with microwaves and mini-fridges. For those who like chain brand names and a beachfront location, the Best Western Plus Grand Strand Inn & Suites offers both, but the rooms aren’t as updated.

Hilton Garden Inn Myrtle Beach/Coastal Grand Mall provides the safe, clean, and typical mid-range stay that Hilton members expect of the brand. While indoor and outdoor pools, a hot tub, and a restaurant serving a paid breakfast and dinner are convenient, some might not appreciate a 10-minute drive to the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and Promenade. A free airport shuttle and a location across from the Coastal Grand Mall may make up for the beach inconvenience, as could the 112 contemporary rooms with modern amenities like microwaves, mini-fridges, and Keurig coffeemakers. Travelers who trust chain brand names might consider Best Western Plus Grand Strand Inn & Suites, which has similar amenities and lower rates, plus free breakfast and a beachfront location.

The Roxanne Towers consists of 72 condo-style rooms that are individually owned but rented out like a hotel. Rooms have oceanfront balconies and full-size kitchens, but leave much to be desired in the way of decor. Furnishings appear outdated and, although the building opened in 2004, both the interior and the exterior look like they’re stuck in the 1970s. The best part about the property is its location right on the beach and proximity to tourist attractions like the SkyWheel.

Travelers looking to be right in the thick of things -- as well as right on the beach -- will find both at Landmark Resort. Located in Central Myrtle Beach on the Grand Strand, the resort and the surrounding area offers pretty much everything visitors could want for an action-packed South Carolina vacation, no car required. But keep in mind the hotel is just that -- a hotel, as opposed to a home-away-from-home that describes many other accommodations in Myrtle Beach.
