Hotels Near Banter by Piercing Pagoda in Myrtle Beach

Clearly, ”clean” is relative. The hotel has a sheen of dust/dirt. Their standards of clean are subpar. I'm so disappointed in the hotel. Front desk staff was VERY friendly and helpful. One housekeeper had to come and clean again after we checked in and she was super pleasant. Hair on shower wall, greasy tile floors that hadn't been mopped, dust and sand on the desk and other surfaces. Remotes were filthy (I always travel with bleach wipes and the wipes had visible dirt on them from the buttons). The breakfast was ho-hum and the area not that clean. Serving utensils were never cleaned or swapped out. And hot food and Styrofoam plates and bowls is diabolical. The young man was nice. The lady was rude and had on a dirty shirt at 7:30am. Toddler underwear were in one of the elevators for more than 24 hours. Trash can was dirty at 6:55am. The bulk of the housekeeping staff appear to be white women, and as a black woman in the South, they did not feel hospitable (to me, and I know the vibe well). They barely speak even when greeted. I'm a platinum IHG member on a tour with Holiday Inn Vacations. Both companies should be ashamed.

The staff were super nice and rooms really clean. The property was super clean and the beds were very comfortable. I highly recommend staying here for a couple of night. The swimming pool was super clean. There was so many in there. The breakfast was not to good but that doesn’t matter.

We've been staying at this Hampton for more than 12 years and always enjoyed it. This year there were too many problems to ignore. Check in was very slow, we waited for almost an hour to get checked in, which has never happened before. The elevators need some maintenance. It sounds like there is a lot of sand in the door track and not sure if they were cleaned while we were there. The room we finally got was nice, although the couch needed to be cleaned and the room could be updated. The breakfast was good, the usual Hampton meal. They have 2 areas to serve breakfast since this is a large hotel, however only one area was open so breakfast was very busy. The breakfast employees did a great job of keeping up though. The pool wasn't cleaned the first day we were there which was a Monday so you can imagine how much sand was in it after a busy weekend. Also made me wonder if the water had been tested for cleanliness. The shower area, when you come off the beach, wasn't cleaned for the 4 days we were there, so rinsing your feet off did no good. That's probably why the pools are full of sand. The boardwalk steps are being overwhelmed by the plants from the sand dunes and look to be in disrepair. But probably the most disturbing thing was the dog situation. We really feel Hilton has made a big mistake allowing dogs on all their properties. This property is not set up for dogs to do their ”business.” The only convenient grassy locations are right by the swimming pools and I do mean very close proximity. Anyone that has ever had a dog knows that no matter how well you try to pick up after a dog, many times there is ”residue” left behind, not to mention all the urninating they are doing in the grass. We sat on our balcony and watched dogs using the grass as their bathroom and then watched people walk through the grass and get in the pool. Not a good set up at all! I really hesitated reviewing this year, but felt the hotel really needs to get back to what made them the number one hotel in Myrtle Beach for years. Not sure if we will give them another chance, which is sad because we really loved this hotel!

This was my little guys first spring break and first vacation and that’s to all the amenities offered at this hotel I’m the BEST MOMMY EVER! The pool area was everything and more! The game room was a nice time to waste time and have fun while it was raining. The views from the lobby during breakfast was beautiful and well as the balcony view from our room on the 19th floor and impeccable! Over all 10/10 . The only hiccup to mention was the Wi-Fi not working so well.

This was definitely a great choice for vacation!!. It was home away from home!!. Very spacious rooms, great amenities, the units were very clean and the staff was very professional!!. I definitely enjoyed the ocean view!!

We stay in a lot of Holiday Inn Expresses. Consistency is key for them and I expect it. This one stood out with an individual desk clerk. I provided his name to HIE but don’t recall it now. After my check in, next time by the desk he said hello with my name! Hasn’t happened before in any hotel. He made it memorable for us.

Ocean 22 was fantastic!!! Everyone is nice and kind and professional. My advice is to get there between 3 pm and 3:30 pm for a quicker check in. We got there at 3:30 pm. Check in is at 4pm but if you show up after 5pm, you gonna have to wait. Also you have a better chance of getting a luggage cart which are short in supply but high in demand. The market place was very convenient especially if it's storming outside. Had an issue with one of the vents but maintenance guy came and took care of it quickly and was very personable. The elevators may take a while but that's to be expected due to the building having 24 floors. They are not pushy regarding a sales pitch. There are 6 restaurants within 2 blocks so we just walked to them instead of driving. Plenty of towels and the full kitchen was great. Plenty of things to do in the area. Great for families or just couples. Pool and beach were awesome. It was the best timeshare I ever stayed at!!! My wife and I will definitely be back!!!

We stayed there on Aug 9, right after hurricane. Taylor was fabulous! Our room got upgraded as there were many open due to cancellations from hurricane. Taylor was very helpful with any questions or needs that we had. Bar/ restaurant staff friendly also. Rooms very clean, beds comfortable. Ocean view was awesome and appreciated!

I stayed at this hotel for one Month on business. We had over 200 Consultants in town. Which means the hotel was booked. Cleanliness was the first thing I noticed. The staff were great. I'm a person who leaves her key in her room often. There was never an issue the front desk staff was always friendly and welcoming. Even though I knew I may have gotten on their nerves. It never showed. The breakfast was good. They had red velvet waffles you could make as well as other kinds. The red Velvet was good. I had to write a review to speak about the two housekeepers on my floor. Sam and Terri. I hate to get my room clean when I'm not there. So I do not get it cleaned often. One day I came into the hotel after work. When I got to my floor #2 I said it smelled funny. Sam heard me and said Ma'am I will have the carpet cleaned. Not even 20 mins later. A gentleman was cleaning the carpet on the floor. After my 14th day, I asked Sam to clean my room. I've been traveling for work for over ten years. I can't remember the last time. A Housekeeping perfection. Cleaned my room so well. She not only cleaned. Had it smelling amazing. She dusted the furniture. Just cleaned everything you could imagine. Today I started to hang out a little bit before work. that when I saw Terri on her hands and knees cleaning these rooms with perfection and care! I have a phobia about hotels. I have stayed in so many upscale hotels that had bedbugs or just were filthy. Meaning just cleaned to the eye. Not sanitized these people here! Sam and Terri! They Clean Clean and Sanitize! I don't know the man's name that cleaned the carpet but I want to say thank you! He got on it quickly! This i a great hotel to stay at and bring your family!!! Thank You, Sam and Terri! You gave me hope to trust that most people love their job and take it seriously!! it's very serious!! PS from a person with high anxiety due to staying in unclean hotels
