We took advantage of a long weekend and our search online got us a $46/night rate at the Caravelle. It is in the northern part of Myrtle Beach which is fine in January (not too much going on in "downtown" Myrtle Beach anyway). Our main priorities were ocean front and a hot tub. This place was great!! Three different hot tubs to choose from (two are outdoors) and great indoor, heated pool. The rooms are modern looking; not your usual "beachy" interior decoration, and ours came with a full kitchen even though all we used it for was making coffee and English muffins. One small problem was the light switch for the kitchen...it was a on the wall up beside the refrigerator and we had to move the refrigerator a little to turn it on. Bad planning but manageable. One big problem was an unexpected 7am wake-up call by the elevator service guys. The elevator was right across from our room and, even though we had asked before we booked about renovations during our stay, they gave us the room closest to the elevator that was being upgraded. Staff at the front desk were very apologetic but put the blame on a rouge maintenance company that they could not control (and had already had complaints about). Sounds like a hotel/condo management issue affecting paying customers. Luckily, it was the last morning of our stay and we had to get up anyway. The breakfast buffet in the hotel restaurant was great and a very good value.

My husband & I stayed here about three times now and we are making it our perm vacation spot in Myrtle Beach. The rooms are very reasonable. The jaccuzzi suite was beautiful, we stayed there after my husband returned from Afghanistan. I would def recommend it for a romantic getaway with your spouse or bf/gf. The staff is great and really kind and helpful. It's a very short distance to the strip and to Broadway. You will not be disappointed!! Can't wait to book for this summer!!!

My husband and I have stayed at The Caravelle several times over the past few years. Rooms are nice, beds are comfortable, location is very convenient, quiet area, pools are great. The staff is very friendly and personable. Room rates in the off season are quite reasonable and it made for a fun get away with our grandchildren.

Worst hotel I've stayed in years noise all hours of the night don't feel safe walking around the security is useless
