We absolutely loved this hotel and we stayed for 5 days so we spent enough time there to use most of their facilities. The location of the hotel is kind of interesting - across the street from a closed down mall / amusement park, but it was easy to get to and from all the attractions in the Myrtle Beach area and was quite peaceful and quiet. The lobby is very attractive and spacious and the beautiful indoor/outdoor pool area is just off the lobby.

Our only complaint about this property is the very cold water temperature of the pool. We even made a specific request to turn up the heat in the pool, but it never happened. Since we were going to be there for 5 days, we wanted to be able to actually use the pool during our stay. We tried going in it on 2 different days, and it was so cold we just couldn't force ourselves to go all the way in. We did settle for the hot tub both times, but even that was very cool by normal hot tub standards.

The complimentary breakfast was by far the nicest one we have ever encountered at any hotel, which included hot scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits & gravy, pancakes along with the usual waffles, cereals and fresh fruit. The eating area is huge and has a lovely view of the waterway that runs behind the hotel. The service was also excellent so there was constant attention to keeping everything well stocked and cleaned up.

Our room was quite roomy and comfy and we had a first floor room with a sliding patio door opening up to the parking lot. That might not necessarily sound like a big plus, but when you are travelling with a dog (this is a pet friendly hotel), it is a very convenient feature.

Another nice amenity was the availability of two clothes washers and two dryers for the use of hotel guests. Since we were on an extended trip, it was very handy to be able to do two loads of laundry simultaneously while we ate breakfast.

This was our first visit to the Myrtle Beach area, and we liked it enough that we are planning on returning next year. When we do, we will definitely plan on staying at the Clarion again.

The hotel is in a area that tourist attractions have been abandoned. The hotel is clean but outdated. They have redone the lobby so maybe the rooms are next. We had a room with a balcony overlooking the intercoastal waterway so could watch the boat traffic.
Only one of the elevators was working .
