Shore Crest Vacation Villas is a large club resort with mid-range, timeshare condos on the beach.

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.

SpringHill Suites Charleston Downtown/Riverview is a three-pearl chain hotel that's well maintained, if a little generic -- particularly in contrast to the charming historic area nearby. It's across the river from downtown so guests will need a car, but the hotel provides good value and reliable amenities and facilities. All 123 rooms come with chrome microwaves, mini-fridges, and flat-screen TVs and many have sofas beds, which make it a good option for groups and families. Still, facilities are geared toward business travelers, with two meeting spaces, a business center, a 24-hour gym, and free Wi-Fi and parking. A large breakfast buffet, with all sorts of hot and cold offerings is also included in room rates. Overall, it's a solid choice for travelers with cars, but those wanting to be walking distance from sites should consider Doubletree by Hilton Hotel & Suites Charleston - Historic District instead.

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.

This beachfront resort occupies a quiet location in North Myrtle Beach. Overall, it's a tired three-pearl property, but offers a decent selection of features and roomy accommodations. The property has several outdoor pools, including a lazy river, kids' pool, and hot tubs. There are two dining options, one of which is open seasonally, while other features include a fitness center and, unexpectedly, a bait and tackle shop. The property's 259 one-, two-, and three-bedroom condos are dated and could use some updates, but they're equipped with full kitchens, washers and dryers, separate living rooms, and furnished balconies -- some with beautiful ocean views. Travelers looking to be more centrally located (Central Myrtle Beach is a 35-minute drive) might want to consider the Captain’s Quarters Resort instead.

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.
