The Springmaid Beach Resort is a 485-room, mid-range property located south of the SkyWheel and the main tourist area on Myrtle Beach, offering a little more privacy and seclusion than other hotels. Business travelers can rely on the resort’s large conference center while multiple pools, two eateries, and a location right on the beach make Springmaid ideal for families. Rooms are modern, particularly for Myrtle Beach -- no tacky patterned bedding here.

In the quieter northern stretch of Myrtle Beach, Cabana Shores Hotel is a value property with 74 rooms and suites, including some with full kitchens, located directly across the road from the beach. All rooms feature private balconies -- and some offer beautiful ocean views -- as well as mini-fridges, microwaves, coffeemakers,TVs (flat-screen or tube-style), and free Wi-Fi. The hotel also has an outdoor pool area with lounge chairs and umbrella tables, and an inside hospitality room with a dartboard and pool table. The property, however, with its outdated furnishings and bedding, has an "old" feel about it, and guests have complained about musty smells and stained carpeting. Guests might want to consider the (often) similarly priced Best Western Plus Grand Strand Inn & Suites -- a 16-minute drive south of Cabana Shores -- which offers a free breakfast buffet and an outdoor barbecue area.

The budget Windsurfer Hotel is conveniently located near the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and 2nd Avenue Pier, about a 10-minute walk to the Family Kingdom Amusement Park. Many of its 69 rooms, including Suites, have balconies with oceanfront views, and cable TV; some have whirlpool tubs. But rooms are dated -- tiles, curtains, and furnishings could use an upgrade -- and some have a musty smell. There's an indoor/outdoor pool and whirlpool, as well as a small outdoor pool and children’s pool. Parking is free, but it can be difficult to find a space. Guests might want to compare rates with the Best Western Plus Grand Strand Inn & Suites, an upper-middle range property with a free breakfast buffet and outdoor barbecue area, that's about a six-minute drive south from the Windsurfer.

The four-pearl Sheraton Myrtle Beach Convention Center Hotel doesn’t have tons of water features like many of the family-focused hotels along the beach. Rather, it offer 25 meeting rooms in the attached Myrtle Beach Convention Center, thereby attracting a business or event-attending crowd that can be seen interacting in the Southern restaurant and stylish bar or enjoying a swim in the hotel’s (only) indoor pool. The 400 rooms are contemporary but not as upscale as other Sheraton properties, and, according to guests, may have thin walls. Beyond that, rooms include mini-fridges and coffeemakers with Starbucks coffee. Though there are some distant beach views, expect an eight-minute walk to the sand. As another upscale alternative, consider North Beach Plantation which has a luxe design and spa on-site.

The 540-room Caravelle Resort is like many hotels in Myrtle Beach -- it's right on the beach, there are numerous pools, and it's always crowded. The bedroom decor is a bit more up-to-date than at some nearby hotels but the elevators move slowly, especially considering the hoards of people in line to use them. Overall, the hotel is a good value -- with freebies like free Wi-Fi and free parking -- but it doesn't offer much more than you would expect in Myrtle Beach (although the fitness center is on the ground level with floor-to-ceiling windows, unlike the many basement fitness centers in the area).

This mid-range Holiday Inn is conveniently situated right by the beach and the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and Promenade, plus it's close to dining options and shops. Though interiors are chainlike, they're clean, and all of the 138 guest rooms have private balconies (with either ocean vistas or unattractive parking lot views) as well as flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, and microwaves. Many units have kitchens. The hotel has both indoor and outdoor pools, including an indoor lazy river, plus there's a seasonal poolside bar. Other features include modest fitness facilities and a free continental breakfast, though it gets mixed reviews from guests. Captain's Quarters Resort is a comparable alternative with more dining options and a bowling alley, but it's also a dated property.

Like its sister property (and so many in the area), the Schooner II is a decent, slightly worn mid-level resort located directly on the beach and close to many of Myrtle Beach's attractions. Suites are a little tight on space and feature generic décor with modern touches like flat-screen TVs and stainless steel kitchen appliances. Bathrooms offer Jacuzzi tubs and are somewhat sizable, but their yellow walls may look tacky to some. With no children's activity program or kids' pool, this resort lacks some of the family-friendly features found at other properties nearby.
