For those willing to stay further from the beach, the Best Western Plus Myrtle Beach is a good North Myrtle Beach option. The mid-range hotel has 90 clean and comfortable rooms stocked with coffeemakers, microwaves, and a mini-fridge. There's a fitness center and small outdoor pool on-site. The free breakfast buffet comes with waffles and other hot items and there's free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel. Guests may want to compare rates with the similarly priced oceanfront Breakers Resort North Tower which offers one-, two-, and three-bedroom rooms with kitchenettes and access to a pirate-ship children’s pool.

For guests willing to stay further from the beach, Hampton Inn Myrtle Beach West is a good budget option at a reasonable price point. Rooms are clean and the beds are reportedly comfortable in the 80 rooms with decor and furnishings that are sleeker than average for a Hampton Inn. The hotel has a small outdoor pool and a free breakfast buffet served in an elegant space, but calling the tiny room that stores the two exercise machines a fitness center is a bit of an exaggeration. Guests may want to compare rates with Hampton Inn Myrtle Beach - Broadway at the Beach, which is within walking distance of several restaurants and an amusement park.

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.

Compass Cove Oceanfront Resort is one of the many mid-range family-friendly properties that grace Myrtle Beach’s beachfront. It has an impressive 23 water amenities that include a water park, as well as entertainment like a game room, gym, and kids’ club. For dining options, it offers a Southern-style breakfast, American restaurant, and a Tiki bar. The 530 rooms are simple and some are dated with cleanliness issues, but they have decent amenities like balconies and either kitchens or microwaves and mini-fridges. Expect to pay a resort fee. Grand Atlantic Ocean Resort is a suitable alternative for those who want a more intimate vibe and rooms that are a bit more modern.

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.
