I've been going to the Aloha for the past 24 years and Im getting ready to spend the weekend there. This will probably be the last time I see the old place because I was informed when making my reservation that it is being torn down to make room for a high-rise called the Aloha Tower.
I hate to see all the "Family Style" motels mowed down by the flashy corporate hotels. There really is a charm that you cannot get at the large hotels. I like that you can park two steps from the door, step out your back door to the pool (no freezing elevator rides soaking wet) or have a cookout with family and friends.
For those of us that like to ride bikes you can bring your own and park it on your patio or ride one of theirs. Try taking your bike up the elevator to your room at one of those fancy hotels or parking your minivan/SUV in the hotel parking deck with a turtle on the roof, it can't be done.
Well at least I have my memories and if you hurry you might have time to make some too.
ALOHA Motel... I love you.

The Aloha is my home away from home! I have stayed at the Aloha for over 21 years now and there isn't another place I would ever stay. No its not a five star resort but the environment around the rooms and pool is what makes it so wonderful. It is a family owned business that has been around for 35 years. The family is incredible and if you visit during the summer you can plan on meeting them by the pool for music and great food! I would strongly suggest giving it a shot!

This small private hotel will be torn down this fall for new condo construction. It was so easy to park take three steps and be in your room. That is very rare with lodging. If you like convenience and a clean modest motel, then it is a good deal.

We stayed at the Aloha Motel during the Sept., 2004 Beach Bound Hounds gathering. We found the motel to be plain but very clean. I went loaded with bug spray but did not see a single bug in the rooms.
Pools were very clean and the poolside areas inviting.
Staff were extremely nice and accomodating.
Short walk to the beach.
We will definitely stay there for any future visits to Myrtle Beach....with or without the greyhounds.
