First, I want to thank Cynthia Arnot for how warmly I and my fishing group were welcomed to the Windsurfer Motel! Been going on this trip for 21 years by myself. In 2006 I brought 3 of my best friends from Happy Valley Baptist Church in Asheville N.C. I made reservations at the Windsurfer for the first time. This is when I met Cynthia. She took us in like we were family! Her professional action on handling the process, coupled with her kindness,...just don't see this anymore. The accomodations and staff services are 5 star in my book! If you are looking for a great place and your on a budget...then call Cynthia at the Windsufer Motel. You will not be disappointed! My fishing gang from church wouldn't even consider any other place after 6 straight years!!!

i have read these reviews, and my husband i have stayed here on several occasions and on those occasions and the place was clean and orderly. staff was friendly,and maintainence was very good.. on one occasion, we called front desk to let them know the handle was loose on the sliding glass door.. they were there within minutes to fix it.,.overall, this is a great place to stay... there are no smells, or problems with the a/c.. people just have to complain about something. i have never, ever had a bad experience at this hotel... some people just have to find things to complain about to make themselves happy..

I have stayed at the Windsurfer two times now. We have had great experiences both times. The location alone is great, you are right by the boardwalk but still far enough away it doesnt seen to get too crowded. The hotel is great, yeah maybe the rooms don't all have brand new paint on the walls and the newest curtains, but who cares? The rooms are very clean, the jacuzzi tub works great (not all rooms have the jacuzzi tub, but the one I stayed in did), the kitchen is great if you are there for an extended stay and want to make your own food instead of eating out all week. I think I saved the best for last though, the staff and service is truly great. All of the cleaning staff is incredibly nice, and the people at the front desk are just great. They have gone above and beyond both times I have stayed there to make our stay truly great. If you are looking for a great hotel in Myrtle Beach with a great location and some of the absolute best rates, you'd be crazy not to book a room here.

We just arrived home from another perfect ten day stay at The Windsurfer. Our room was ready when we arrived and as always spotlessly clean. I would like to address some complaints that other folks have had.

Parking. This is the only hotel on the strip that has some onsite parking. No, it's not enough to accommodate all rooms, but overflow is directly across the street. Not a huge issue.

Updating. This is a beach hotel and as popular as it is, the rooms get a lot of abuse from people. The furniture is hotel furniture, pine, and not my taste, but, there isn't one scratch on it and all the drawers work amazingly well. The appliances in the kitchen worked fine, though the side of the refrigerator could use some appliance paint to cover some rust spots. Yes there are some cigarette burns on the tub in our room but there's nothing to be done about that unless the whole tub is replaced. Water stains on the tub floor could be removed with some commercial wax stripper. I would like to see lids put on the toilet seats. All units have been repainted, old wall paper removed and new bed skirts and comforters put on the beds. Looks GREAT!

Housekeeping. I have no complaints at all about housekeeping. As always, they are very pleasant and accommodating. They do a wonderful job as long as you do *your* job and don't use your room as a pig pen.

Elevator. Well, what can I say? There is only one and when housekeeping is there working in the morning it's a bit of a wait. This year though, I was disappointed in the appearance and cleanliness.

The outside of this hotel is kept impeccable by Javier. The pools and decks are cleaned every morning, chairs arranged nicely, bushes and flowers trimmed, all trash is picked up, sidewalks cleaned. It's perfect. One note, there are two pools for this small hotel, which is a huge bonus compared to all the over crowded pools at the high rise condos around town.

I do have a complaint about the outside lighting. Always there have been spotlights on this hotel at night that were blue/lavender. For some reason, one of the bulbs has been changed to a bright white and the first night they turned it on, I thought there was a police raid going on. If your curtains are not shut properly, it can light up the whole room and make you think it's 8 a.m. when it's only the middle of the night.

The staff at this hotel is amazing. Miss Cynthia, Javier, and Mike all work hard to make your stay perfect. Even the owner is there every day with a warm hello. We stay at this hotel because of these folks and plan on returning each year.

Like I said in my last review. This is not the Atlantis. It's a beach hotel, great location, right on the boardwalk, clean inside and out, beautiful grounds, wonderful staff and owner.

It's the perfect place for your perfect vacation.
