Bayview Resort

Swimming ban on beach due to high bacterial levels. They don’t tell you this and the signs are facing the ocean so it’s easy to miss. They are extending the outfall pipes further out into the ocean with the hope that it will improve water quality on the beach. That is the construction that another reviewer thought was a pier. The swimming pool was closed several days during my visit. It is difficult to supervise children in the lazy river because you can’t see the whole thing. House keeping threw my soap away and didn’t leave a replacement. They didn’t clean anything and there were no cleaning supplies. The box springs were covered in dirty (bed bug?) mattress covers which grossed me out. I never received a reply to my email. The next door motel is boarded up and there were sketchy people standing in front of the motel across the street. I guess they were people watching?
Despite all that, we had a nice time and everyone was friendly. Hopefully Myrtle Beach will get their sewage problems fixed. I suppose we wouldn’t have gotten such a good price if there weren’t problems. I picked something up while I was there, perhaps from the beach? Or maybe a dirty pool? Myrtle Beach is on the top 13 dirtiest beaches list. We will not return and I’ve now learned to check on such things.

Wonderful setting, right on the water, with daily room service. Our unit was clean, but very poorly equipped; no dish soap, few dishes and bowls. Wi-​fi was intermittent.

I am writing my reviews based on my stay back in June 2014. I didn’t have any issues with my room at all. It was very clean and smelled good. My favorite part was the view which was amazing. The actual down side was the elevators. We had to wait so long to use it (we stayed in 15^th floor). They were musty and dirty. The other issue was the parking lot. You had to walk by some real low motels. (creepy people). Once you got inside the parking lot, it was all dark. That made it feel very unsafe.

This is the worst resort ever the construction work is a hassle and the 100 dollar hold they put on ur card till u check out is ridiculous when it wasn’t stated in the fucking reservation and I’m very disappointed that they r unbothered by my concerns and the parking is crazy u have to walk in the back of two crack head hotels to get to ur car very unsafe and scary especially if u have kids. They need security the advertising is a scam just to get u to stay SO TAKE MY WORD AND STAY AWAY! But the room was nice that was it.

I read the reviews and I visited the website and I was so excited that we would get a beachfront stay at around $ 155.00 a night for a two bedroom condo oceanfront condo. I thought this would be amazing!
From the moment we arrived at the resort it was a nightmare! It claims to be a resort but it’s an overpriced hotel with beach access. Once you arrive and realize that you have to wait hours to park. As a woman with a young child, DO NOT COME TO THIS RESORT!!! You have to park blocks away and it’s a very sketchy neighborhood. I personally was approached by a homeless man who followed us through the lot! It was so scary!!! I was so scared!
Pros– nice large condo space, close to Boardwalk, free DVDs rental, nice space and it was ok! I expected spectacular at that rate!
The hotel is ok, sub par at best! The furniture has scratches the walls have holes and there is inexplicable matter on these sheets! Ewwwwwww!
The Starbucks downs stairs is he only bright spot and it closes at 6pm. I was not that happy and I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Hotel location was prime if you want to be close to the heart of the strip in MB. My room was a two bedroom suite with a full kitchen, two bathrooms, and three balconies with beautiful ocean views and awesome for «people watchers.» It was nice and generally clean minus some dirt in the hallway and random hair in the bathroom-​ew. The parking was a couple streets down and the hotels around the parking deck attracted trashy people probably on drugs. As a female I would be afraid at night to have to park my car alone and walk back to the hotel. The group I was with had concealed to carry licenses and were strapped for that walk. The elevators sucked, it took forever to catch one so if you do just jump on and make new friends. Overall, I might stay again with friends but as far as families go I would pay a little more and stay in a nicer area.

I am reading these other reviews and I guess we must have been the exception… I was treated like poop at the three palms down the street, canceled and came here… and we extended twice! loved it! Maybe it was our room choice. we did the oceanfront condo… it was a huge comfortable room… employees we interacted with Joe, Taylor, and I cant remember the shuttle drivers name I think Greg? (I remember hes been with the company 6 years). they were ALL top notch, and made my wife and I feel welcome. the security of this place. which. beleive me, is important at myrtle. was top notch… card access to the building… then the outer door of your condo pod. then the room door itself. the parking garage has a full metal door that goes up and down to the swipe of the card and its huge… the garage in my opinion is too big for the hotel! they spent lots on that thing. very spacious no trouble parking. again. important in myrtle. they give out blue rubber wrist bands for the common areas so you can rest assured security knows your supposed to be there… the room was huge. the view amazing… we found our new spot when we come to myrtle. we check out tomorrow after extending from a two day to a 5 day stay! I really dug this place… go bayview! :D

Let me start off by saying the manager was very friendly and concerned when problems arose. But on the down side, many problems arose. First off the sofa and floors felt like they were damp the whole time. I also didn’t enjoy how terrible the elevators were. They took 10 mins each time and held barley anyone. Our other problem was that our bathroom would randomly start smelling like a mixture of cigarettes and weed at night. Which in return made our room smell like it. The room was so hot and humid while the living room and dining area was freezing. One night we heard constant banging on doors in the hallway. Another issue was that room service only does a «full cleaning» the 3^rd night you are there. Which made no sense since we were there only 4 nights. Finally they came and just took off the sheets and laid the new ones on top. Which they brought the wrong size sheets anyways. Lastly is that the splash deck was closed for 3 days out of our 4 days which I was looking forward to. The pools were not swim able to me because it smelled like complete chlorine with no water at all. Other than that the room was very large, plenty of parking, and friendly staff.

Great, clean, and private rooms. We didn’t experience any noise other then obvious traffic in the morning and around dinner by other guests. Myrtle beach is a loud environment… so no matter where you stay beach front… it will be that way until around 10 PM. Great law enforcement presence around this location… always patrolling and seems to be safe. If you’re one of those people who has issues with the «class» of people that live nearby… do yourself and everyone else a favor and stay at home. The guy at the front desk was wonderful to us. We arrived way before check in… he checked us in and told us he’d personally give us a call when they were ready (which he did) and recommended some places to eat for us (spot on). Very personable staff and will cater to your every need. Don’t stay at this, or any hotel at MB oceanfront if you mind waiting occasionally for an elevator or on traffic. Don’t hesitate to book here. You won’t regret it.

update: we were just locked out of our condo and had to go back down to the front office, where they proceeded to tell us that if we get our keys wet, they won’t work! this is the beach right?. ughhh. I did have sort of an attitude with the front desk man, but it’s frustrating that this keeps happening– he proceeded to ask for my name and if I was even on the reservation. rude. Hopefully next year we can get our normal condo farther up in north Myrtle. this is just frustrating. Over priced and under delivered. Also, roaches on our balcony. big ones.

Hmmmmm after seeing the other reviews I was a little bummed especially because the check in drive up area is a terror, there is no organization, do expect a looooooonnnngggggg wait here and it does really suck the parking deck is across the street behind two sketchy motels so I wouldn’t recommend women going by themselves to park their cars … Awful …
The hotel isn’t this horrible place like all these other reviewers posted, you can’t expect super fast elevators with 19floors and tons of beach goers pressing that button every second. Also, it states each unit is privately owned so not every condo will be the same. We had a 2bedroom, 2full bath condo with fully equipped kitchen, wash &dryer unit, 3 flat screen tvs and 2private balconies facing the beach so no complaints here, I personally didn’t like the furniture decore but it was clean. The only other negative about this hotel is the indoor pool, Jacuzzi, and «lazy river» is small and gets crowded easily.

This hotel was not that great. First the elevators were terrible and we spent most of the time waiting on them or using the stairs. We had to wait 25 min when we were trying to checkout and eventually ended up carrying all of our stuff down 6 flights of stairs. Also THERE IS NO OUTDOOR pool. I also barely slept the entire time I was there because of the traffic noise and loud music outside the room. The indoor pool
Is really small and hot. The only thing that was nice was the beach but the view is
Obscured by the construction of a new ugly
Pier. We won’t be back!!!

Very disappointing. The only really good thing about this hotel was that it was very close to the beach. The furniture was very dirty and outdated. The halls, stairs and pool areas were not very clean. The elevators were very slow and you had to wait forever or take the stairs. We didn’t realize when we came it was «Senior Week» so it was terribly noise well into the night. Didn’t seem like a very safe place either. Would definitely NOT stay here again. Was not that it was a huge discounted hotel either. Certainly did not get our money’s worth here.

The location is right on the beach, but in a very seedy area. The chairs and couches in the room were stained and gross, I did not sit it them the entire 4 days I was there. 2 of the 3 DVD players did not work. The main TV in the living room was busted, we ended up checking out 2 days early. Also just to add not at all impressed with myrtle beach at all.

I am leaving a review here from when I came here in 2011. Honestly there were so many things wrong with our stay I don’t know where to begin…
Check in was horrible and we were told that the elevators were down… We arrived the second to last week of August and we literally had to WALK UP 15 FLIGHTS OF STAIRS MULTIPLE TIMES WITH ALL OUR LUGGAGE. By the time we did this we were exhausted and drenched in sweat. We did not want to switch our room because we like being high up and we paid to have that view so we sucked it up. But I did complain and the management swore up and down that they were being fixed but this problem continued throughout the 10 days we stayed… Sometimes they would work, and other times they didn’t and two people got stuck in the elevators while we stayed there so to avoid this, we took the stairs through most of our stay… This was only the beginning of the nightmare that was this hotel…
The parking was horrendous and your car is parked so far away in their garage that it’s completely inconvenient. The hotel itself is in an area where you don’t want to walk at night, it’s situated around budget motels and section 8 housing. It’s real shady around here and I would never walk through there alone to get to the parking garage… Our room was actually nice and had a beautiful view but we paid a lot of money for a decent room and nothing else. There are no pools outside and nothing entertainment-​wise. There are so many other beautiful hotels in the myrtle beach area I would never waste my time with this one again. Also, it seems from all the other reviews that the elevator situation hasn’t improved since our stay and that is just unacceptable for the money you are paying… Stay somewhere else!!!

Stayed for a week in January. Had the kitchenette unit which was nice but for the old dried up food on the walls and refrigerator. The floor was very sticky; kind of grossed us out. The view and location were great and, it was nice having laundry capabilities right in the unit. The pool amenities were also very nice. We’ve never stayed in MB before but, by walking the beach and seeing the other hotels along the shoreline I’d have to say Bay View probably rates the best for location and view. The room was a little noisy at times from the adjacent guests and, as every other review states: The elevators are slow but, in the places defense: they have heard the complaints and are in the middle of adding another.
Would we stay there again? Probably not. Only because we did not like Myrtle Beach as a whole: too touristy. A money pit. Golf in January was very nice though!

The nice staff couldn’t make up for the lack of amenities. No outdoor pool, rooms were way too small for the $$ and the elevators were ridiculously slow. They do have a nice deck and lounge area out front, but we wont stay here again, even with the Groupon discount.

Resort is a stretch… Parking is terrible and a 20min to wait to get checked in. The parking garage is a block away and the walk through the area is less than desirable… Rough area. When they have to hand you a sheet at check-​in that warns you about securing your vehicle, that’s a bad start. It’s a rough crowd that I didn’t want my family around.
The beds are SMALL and bathroom wasn’t very clean. I now realize why the prices were lower than other places… You get what you pay for.
Never coming back.

I would have given this hotel 4 stars out of 5, but because I have asked the front desk twice to fix the HVAC system and they still have not done so, I can only give it 3 stars. Luckily we came in the fall so the temperature is not too bad and the hotel room cools itself as the outside temperature drops. Other than that one issue, the hotel is great.
The ocean front view is beautiful and the staff is friendly. The hotel is conveniently situated on Myrtle Beach’s new Boardwalk and there are several restaurants and bars within walking distance. It is also located in between and within walking distance to the Sky Wheel and a pier.
The registration parking area is a bit awkward and there is not a lot of room, however there are security guards located outside to help move traffic along effectively. Parking is located across the street from the hotel in a private parking deck that requires key-​card entry and it has roll-​down gates for extra security.
The hotel is very clean — I even walked around the room in my white socks and they didn’t get dirty :) I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Clean, fresh, somewhat new suites with locked garage. We love the warm pools, ocean front rooms (2 balconies), location on the grand strand, and lots more. Would love to come back.
