“Really enjoyed the hotel. We will be back!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 July 2011

We went to Myrtle Beach on vacation. We found Affordable Family Resort on the interner. It looked good in pictures so we booked our room. A few months later I found some reviews about it. After reading some, we almost changed hotel plans. Very glad we didn't! We had a great time there. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was very clean. The pool area and kiddie pool were great for the kids! The water was very clean. We could walk right across the street to the beach! We are planning another trip to the beach next summer. We will be staying at Affordable Flamily Resort!

“Not the "Ritz", but not a Ritzy price either!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2010

This hotel was actually better than I expected for the price. At $75.00 for 2 bedrooms ( a king and 2 queens), 2 Bathrooms, full size refer, a Microwave, in a central location and just across the street from a fantastic public beach, throw in the kiddie pool and water slides and the price is a great deal. Yes, it could use some renovations but I found the rooms to be clean and serviceable. If you are expecting a Hilton or Sheraton you will definitely be disappointed! It is what it is. A VERY affordable hotel with beach access and amenities that easily outweigh some dingy carpet and less than 4-star details. My kids had an absolute blast and can't wait to return. Another big plus for us was that the pet deposit is only $15.00/night! if you travel with a pet then you know what a great deal that is! we will be back.

“Nasty Resort”

people found this review helpful

This hotel is needs to be completely renovated. We went down with extended family and everyone had some type of complaint about their room. My aunt stayed in one of the condos out back and she had a lizard in her room. We seen roaches and a waterbug in our room-disgusting!!!! Needless to say we left the hotel and got a room at another hotel down the street. The manager Stephen was rude bc I wanted a refund. They make enough money to get an exterminator and keep up there property.

“WARNING THIS HOTEL VICTIMIZES FAMILIES!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2010

Arrived and found "Water Slides" were closed down and locked off-was told by someone else staying there that it had been that way all week and they wanted to leave but owner refused refund. Pool dangerous, overcrowded, nasty, out of control and had sharp objects in and around it. Website shows what appears to be an elaborate kiddie pool. If someone finds it there, please let me know. Room nasty and smelly. Toilet rusty. One of my daughters was concerned because in the corner of her room she found a ball of what looked like a mixture of some type of fur or hair and a bug. Bed less comfortable than a cot and linens were dirty. Pillows as thin as a towel. No light bulbs in lamps. Had to run outside half dressed during the night because someone pulled the fire alarm. After that, went to office to see if I could cancel the next days reservation and another guest was there doing the same. Personally witnessed the clerk threaten to "drag" her "kids out in the street and beat them with a cane." At this point demanded a full refund and was refused. Clerk called owner/mom who also refused and threatened to call the police because we were being "rude" to her son by asking for a refund. Went back to room and walked out a few moments later. The owner and clerk son walk outside of office and started screaming at us. Went back inside and locked the door. Owner then called us on phone, threatened us again with the police and stated the "slides had been opened all day." Stated that we would not receive a refund and that if we tried to leave she would charge us a cancellation fee on our card. By this time we were scared to even walk out of our room because of the sheer craziness of the people. My young children cried all night. One had been with me when owner's son/desk clerk threatened the other woman's kids. Returned key in morning light and owner was there. Asked her again for a refund and a copy of any paperwork we had signed. She threatened to call the police again. While walking out the door I told her "thank you for ruining my family's vacation." She responded "you're quite welcome." Did not receive refund. Was raked for over $300. Then had to turn around and find and pay for another hotel for remainder of our stay. Had to cancel debit card to avoid any further fraudulent charges being added. Will be seeking legal representation for damages, warning everyone I know and filing a complaint with the BBC. Places like this need to be shut down. They turn families into victims.
