We booked this hotel online. We had never been to Myrtle, but judging by the price ($179 per night) we thought we would be ok. I was shocked when we arrived. I kept thinking the outside was bad, but maybe the rooms were ok, boy was I wrong The rooms were dirty and dated. The carpet in the rooms was just gross. Ours had a big imprint of an iron in it. I made my son wear socks or flip flops when we were in the room. The pool was cloudy, several of the plastic chairs around the pool were broken, there was a planter at the pool that guests used as a trashcan, it was over flowing with garbage. My biggest concern of all was the unsafe railings on the balcony, in my opinion, they are too far apart for children. Another guest at the pool told me you could get "chicken wire" put up on your railing upon request.......ARE YOU KIDDING???? Just fix the railings!! I did see a couple of balconies with orange plastic mesh. It did not matter for us because the chairs on our balcony had broken straps and could not be used. I should have taken the time to complain and demand a refund, but we were tired from the trip and my son was excited to get to the beach. Also, there were no vacancies in the area...we looked. We dealt with it for 2 nights by staying out of the room as much as possible. I know nasty hotels exist, but my issue was that I was paying the same thing per night as folks staying at a really nice hotel 3 doors down. If the Sailfish refuses to put any money into their hotel, they could at least price it accordingly. It is a shame because they have a beautiful location and great views. I think it is a big stretch to use the word "Resort" in the name of their hotel. Last, the photo we saw online when we booked was of the Sailfish Condo, which is much different from the hotel and very misleading. It is much nicer. We learned you must request the condo or you get the hotel.

We stayed at the Sailfish July 20-26th, 2007. The location is right on the beach so that is a definite plus. The resort needs a lot of updating & overall cleaning. The housekeeping staff brought towels each day and emptied the garbage. They did not make beds, vacuum, clean the bathroom etc. The room had two beds, a livingroom area and a kitchen which was really nice to have the extra space. If the room would have had clean carpet & an overall paint job it would have been great!

We had booked our stay online. We arrived to a nasty run down hotel. One of the family members layed down on the bed and the headboard fell off the wall and hit his head. The "window unit" was hooked up with a dropcord and had a funnel under it with PVC pipes hooked to it so the water from the AC would drain down the side of the hotel. The microwave had rust all inside it. The bathroom had "Personal" hairs all over the sink and countertop. The shower had gunk coming out of the drian. the whole hotel smelled like it had been on fire! We demanded our money back which was a huge fight!!!! They were very rude and finally after an hour of fighting and finally threating to bring the police in we got all the money back! Do not stay at this hotel!
