👎 Mermaid Inn. This Mermaid is out!

This place is terrible. There is no staff anywhere to do anything. I mean not even a desk staff. There were parties all nite, so loud it was impossible to sleep. Do not waste your money!
Elizabeth, 2-night trip

Cheap and run down hotel; good location

Location is great; right on beach! Rooms were clean and we didn't see any bugs. Beds were comfortable. However, there was no deadbolt on the door. Room had no hangers at all and stairs up to room looked like they were about to rust through! There was no cleaning service at all during the stay. Shower was terrible! Pool was green and murky. I asked for a late check out and was told we could have one if I left a 5 star review on Google and sent them a screen shot. I declined since that is unethical. Overall, not a good experience.

Last result

I paid for an ocean front view and did not get it. There's no check in, you check in through emails. The shower didn't have the proper shower head on it.

Great

Overall the hotel was great!! Walking distance to the beach, has a pool and convenient to stores and food. I will stay here again but not in the same month. I happened to go while a school was there for spring break and it was loud at times even after hours and they left a mess.

Just needs someone in office all hours to come down people at night.

DISAPPOINTED

Don't ask for extra towels because you will not get them. Don't ask for anything after hours for no one is on the property to assist you with anything. I had to help several other customers find the janitors closet to get the keys to their rooms because their codes didn't work. Those are not listed properly. Just luckily I was outside the room at midnight and they approached me. NO ONE that works there SPEAKS ENGLISH if you call they hang up because they say don't understand. I complained about BUG activity and they reassured me there wasn't any.

10/10 Exceptional

The motel was basic with no frills but very clean and suited me perfectly. I traveled with my 2 dogs and our accommodations were very good. The location was perfect - right off the beach with excellent areas to walk my pups. Check in was different than I’ve had at other motels/hotels. It was done via text. No one was actually on the property but instructions were clear and went well. I will definitely return!
Kelly, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Clean and safe nice location but nobody ever answered the phone or was in the office if you need anything. Also power went out leading to a child’s injury. And they have yet to call answer message anything back about the aotuation

Older, clean motel. Location was nice.
Charlotte, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I loved how close to the ocean this was! The parking was fine. You can tell it’s an old motel that the owners have spit shined and done a great job. Some of the things were weird, the bathroom door had white tape all over like it was kicked in almost, the toilet paper roll was empty sitting in the holder, etc. but those are just small things that didn’t super impact the stay. The beds were super comfortable and the room was clean, that’s the biggest thing for me! I’m a stickler for that! The contactless check in was awesome, too! But the fact it was just a nice little place in the middle of all the chaos of the huge resorts is what sold it for us! Will stay here again when we make it back to Myrtle!

I really enjoyed my stay here. Even when we had an issue with the bathtub clogging they were quick to send someone to work on it. Would stay here again for sure.

2/10 Poor

Terrible communication with virtual check in

I booked this hotel because it is next door to where my cousin was staying and I wanted to be there for her wedding. I never even stayed in this place one night. They have a total virtual check in.I was never made aware of any check in process when i spoke to someone on the phone earlier in the day to let them know I would be arriving late. I got an email saying I will need a physical key and I would get information on retrieving it. They did not tell me how I would receive this information. I never received the information when arriving at 12 am in the morning there is no clerk no way to communicate and we had to find another place to stay.Upon our late arrival we spoke with a guest that also had issues with check in. I called and spoke with someone the following day and they put the blame on me and would not refund although I had all emails and texts they sent and none of it had any information that I needed to check in. They sent me the information a day later. I disputed the credit card charges and did receive my refund. I am glad now that we did not stay here. Being next door at my cousins place and seeing this place from above it did not look like a comfortable or well kept place to stay. The pool was very dirty looking. Definitely would not recommend this place. If they do not keep any clerks or anyone available who would you go to for any issues or anything you would need during a stay there? This hotels operations are inefficient and lack proper oversight.
Maria, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was an amazing stay. I really do recommend. Not a new hotel, but new renovations. Beds are comfortabe, u cant beat the view not from the hotel necessarily but theres a spot u can park at and look over the ocean breath takin sunrises.
