We were on our way to Myrtle Beach for an eight day stay. I write reviews for tripadvisor so that other travelers with intellectual values will investigate where they are going; therefore, giving them a better understanding of ones perspective from a business and individual perspective. Making reservations was a breeze. Upon arrival, even though we arrived in the later part of the evening, the front desk clerk was very helpful. We traveled with an eight pound Yorkie dog and the desk clerk was glad to help us with figuring out which room would be the best for us. We ended up in a handicapped room that was right by the side door where we could go in and out easily. The first thing we do when entering into a room is to check for bedbugs. We checked the bed and found NO bedbugs! I would advise all travelers before doing anything else; they should ALWAYS check a motel/hotel room for bedbugs. If you don’t then shame on you! If you find bedbugs then you should go immediately to the front desk and report them and ask for another room. This goes for ANYWHERE that you stay. Don’t put your luggage on the bed, put your belongings in the bathtub or shower until you have a chance to check for the bedbugs. Bedbugs are becoming a national infestation; therefore, when visiting ANY place other than your home… INVESTIGATE!!!!! The bed was wonderful, soft, clean, and we had a very restful night. We did not notice any noise from planes or people. The bathroom was handicap accessible and even though neither of us is handicapped all things functioned well. The apartment size refrigerator was clean and functioned well. The coffee pot! It is not that you are missing the pot it is that you have to put a disposable cup, that is provided, in the slot where a normal coffee pot would go. The coffee maker is a one cup serving! If you have any questions ask the front desk clerk as they are very happy to assist you and answer any questions that you may have. We had to ask for a hair dryer as there was not one provided in the room and we took it back to the front desk at checkout. The outside pool was clean; however, the patio furniture could use some updating. There was an iron and ironing board; however, we did not use them. The TV worked very well. We called front desk for wake-up call and received the wake-up call as planned. The breakfast buffet is GREAT! I woke up, half asleep and poured milk in the waffle maker. The staff was right there laughing with me and helped me to clean up the mess that I had made. The staff showed me what I needed to do to make the waffle and boy-oh-boy that waffle was sooooo good! The breakfast buffet had fresh fruit, cereal, milk, coffee, orange juice, pastries, hard boiled eggs, waffle maker, and a very clean area to sit down and eat. I cannot express enough how HELPFUL, POLITE, and PERSONABLE the staff is at this Microtel! You know, they are people just like us out there putting forth their best effort in completing their position functions. GREAT JOB! In closing, I would recommend this Microtel to any visitor traveling to the Myrtle Beach SC area.
