The lower-middle-range Aqua Beach Inn is a no-fuss property in downtown Myrtle Beach. It's situated just a four-minute walk from the boardwalk, beach, and SkyWheel, along with numerous nearby restaurants, bars, and shops. The 60 guest rooms are spacious with standard decor, flat-screen TVs, kitchenettes, private balconies, and free Wi-Fi. Only the higher level rooms have sea views. As the units are self-catering there are no on-site dining facilities available -- only a small shop selling basic conveniences. There's an outdoor swimming pool with adjacent hot tub and barbecue facilities. Travelers looking for more features can also consider Captain's Quarters Resort with a beachfront location, several pools, two lazy rivers, bowling alley, and dining facilities (for similar rates).

This 120-room Holiday Inn is located a little bit outside the city of Charleston’s historic downtown area, but still close enough for active guests to walk a mile to shopping and dining districts. The hotel has standard rooms with views leaving much to be desired of the surrounding neighborhood, which is under construction. Atypical for the hotel chain, a unique on-site restaurant features Southern-style cuisine made from locally sourced ingredients.

The four-pearl Westin Poinsett, Greenville delivers a memorable stay in a historic setting in the heart of downtown Greenville. Housed in an iconic Poinsett building that has been a hotel since 1925, the Westin features a spectacular grand lobby. The pet-friendly property offers many modern amenities including good Southern restaurants, concierge service, spacious fitness center, free Wi-Fi and airport shuttle, and popular event space for up to 1,000 people. Its 200 spacious rooms and suites are clean, traditionally decorated, and well outfitted with mini-fridges, coffeemakers, and robes. But, rates don’t include parking or breakfast. The Hyatt Regency Greenville is centrally located downtown in a modern hotel that often has lower rates and unlike the Westin, it has a pool.

The 156-room, mid-range Park Lane Hotel and Suites is situated right off busy William Hilton Parkway, the main drag in Hilton Head. Though the property doesn’t have direct beach access, plenty of beaches, golf courses, shops, and restaurants are within a 10-minute drive. Rooms are spacious -- all are suites -- but dated, showing signs of wear-and-tear. Still they're clean, and have full kitchens, as well as flat-screen TVs with HBO, free Wi-Fi, and private balconies. The property also has a serene outdoor pool and whirlpool, lit tennis courts, a small fitness center, and a business center. A free continental breakfast is served daily, and free Starbucks coffee and tea is available 24 hours. Travelers seeking a hotel by the beach can try The Beach House Resort, which also has a more updated look and an on-site bar and restaurant, but rates tend to be higher.

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.

The Sun N Sand Resort is a budget hotel at the southern end of Myrtle Beach, and though it’s a drive from most attractions, direct beach access is the biggest perk. The 179 rooms are comfortable enough -- all have microwaves and full-size refrigerators, and suites have kitchenettes -- but decor is dated. Some rooms also smell musty, there are housekeeping and maintenance issues, and balconies are rather grimy. Facilities include smallish indoor and outdoor pools, a hot tub, and a gym. The restaurant serves breakfast (costs extra), light meals, and drinks, but only in peak season. Wi-Fi and parking are covered via a daily resort fee. The comparably priced Landmark Resort is slightly more central, and has a year-round restaurant and room service.

The three-pearl Meridian Plaza is a small condo-like hotel that offers few features compared to most Myrtle Beach hotels. While the indoor and outdoor pools and hot tubs are great, there aren't amenities beyond free Wi-Fi, a laundry room, and parking. There’s no gym, restaurant, or breakfast served. The 92 condos are outfitted with ocean view balconies, flat-screen TVs, and kitchens, but lack daily housekeeping. As some units are individually owned, it’s hard to predict if you’ll end up with something dated with maintenance issues or a unit that’s contemporary and clean. The location on the beach and within a 10-minute walk to the Myrtle Beach Convention center are the major draw. For those who want a room with a kitchenette, Sands Ocean Club Resort is a good alternative with a restaurant, spa, and kids’ club.

Wyndham Vacation Resorts Towers on the Grove is a mostly generic mid-range option right on a quiet stretch of North Myrtle Beach. Its 232 suites are individually owned time-share apartments, and can include multiple bedrooms, laundry facilities, full kitchens, and ocean views. They can also include maintenance and cleanliness problems. There's no restaurant or breakfast served, so guests either use their kitchens or walk five minutes to a cluster of seafood restaurants and a grocery store. The beach is the main draw, but guests also enjoy the covered outdoor pool and a seasonal lazy river and waterslide. Wi-Fi and parking are both free. Past guests have complained about aggressive time-share pitches. For something with breakfast buffet and a restaurant, check rates at Crown Reef Beach Resort and Waterpark.

Hilton Myrtle Beach Resort is a three-and-a-half-pearl resort that's adjacent to Hilton Myrtle Beach Convention Center on a quiet stretch of North Myrtle Beach. Overall, it's a contemporary chain property that's popular with vacationing families and business travelers alike. Families appreciate the two outdoor pools, beach access, and casual poolside restaurant. Corporate visitors make use of the meeting space and upscale drinking and dining at Verandah Bar and Cafe Amalfi. The 385 rooms and suites feature contemporary (though slightly dated) decor and private balconies; some have full ocean views. There have been occasional complaints of room maintenance, and there are extra fees for parking, Wi-Fi, and breakfast -- on top of the resort fee. For families who want to be closer to the action in Central Myrtle Beach, rates are lower at Landmark Resort.
