I REALLY want to thank everyone for the reviews.. I will be going to Myrtle Beach Next month, And u all have really helped me.. SOunds like the New ones are the ones I need to be in! And judging by the pix the older ones need ALOT of work.. I will for sure be taking pix,and doing a review.. Happy travels all ;-)

Although we booked on Priceline we were given a lovely suite with a view of the beach.Since it is off season and Myrtle Beach is very quiet, I assume we got this upgraded room because the hotel was pretty empty - but still it was very nice and we didn't even ask for the upgrade. the suite had a nice sized kitchenette/living room at the entrance to the suite and then a bedroom with a small balcony overlooking the ocean (and King Family Waterpark which was closed, so very quiet) and a nice sized washroom with large walk-in shower. The furniture was very attractive, the king-sized bed was super comfortable, although the sofa bed in the living room was not at all comfortable. The kitchen had a full sized stainless steel fridge, dishwasher and micro. The kitchen was outfitted with every possible convenience (except an oven - but who wants to cook a turkey while on vacation) including dishwashing detergent, dishes, cutlery, pots, etc.

The suite appears to have been recently painted and everything was very clean. This is more like a condo, so housekeeping is only done every 4 or 5 days - this suited us fine. They will empty trash any time you request it - although they have no recycling at all, which is very disappointing. My only complaint regarding the room was the poor water pressure in the shower (in addition to the already mentioned uncomfortable couch).

Front desk service was very pleasant. But I was quite disappointed in the performance of the concierge. I asked for suggestions for reasonably priced golf courses in the area and he advised me to buy a paper(they don't provide them free as in many other hotels/resorts). This town is supposed to be the centre of the golf universe, so a decent concierge should have some suggestions about golf - and if he doesn't have an answer, should tell the guest that he will find out and have an answer in a little while. I just felt like he was giving me the brush-off

If you are looking for a place to stay for someone you really don't like book them at the Westgate. They will get the service and experience they deserve! The staff is incompetent and the facilities are old and gross. They were not even an 1/8 full and my wife and I asked if we could be moved to a king size room and they said yes for a fee more than what we paid. Unbelievable! We called down and asked for a late check out and they said okay no problem. We went down stairs and when we came back we were locked out of our room!

My husband and I had the opportunity to stay at Westgate Myrtle Beach Oceanfront in June of 2011. We felt that the room was beautiful had a wonderful view of the ocean as well as a wonderful view of the main road and looking out West over the area. We were accross the street from the amuzement park and also a waterpark. The vendors that would take you out parasailing and riding behind a skidoo were also right there by the resort. The ocean was very warm when we were there and we also enjoyed all the pools at the resort. The resorts employees were great and very helpful in explaining places to go and see and things to do. It was the greatest vacation we ever had. We want to go back and take all of our adult children and grandchildren or even just the two of us again.
Thank you for the wonderful stay!
