Camelot By The Sea

The location is spectacular but the rooms are so so. I would equate the furnishings the level of a budget inn.
The paint was damaged in several rooms, white patches of joint compound was every where. Very few in room amenities. The check in person was very rude. Cleaning staff rarely showed up. We had to wait forever for clean towels. It was very very expensive. We expected a nicer room.

NEVER AGAIN !!! This place is run down dirty hand prints all over the walls the bathroom was nasty shower head broke ever dirty rooms. They have me a key to another room and it was just as bad rust on the refrigerator stove was nasty the rooms had bad smell. The parking deck was falling in. The elevators had a bunch of broke tiles in them they tried coved it up with a rug

Our view was awesome but the entire building as well as our room looks like its seen better days. Everything is older and appears to be in need of updating. The location is great but we’ve definitely stayed at better places for less money.

We stated three nights from May 15^th to 18^th, which is the tail end of bike week (we did not know that when we booked). The price is higher than what I am used to paying for a room, almost 200 night for 2 queens (the sofa may have been a sleeper and it had a kitchenette). However it was right on the ocean so you could not beat the location/​view in room 1208.
The bedroom furnishings were nice, however the sofa was full of stains and too gross to sit on without a sheet, the chair not much better
The cleanliness of the room was questionable, the carpet seemed grimy and that showed up quite obviously on my white socks.
On the last day I woke up with my neck very itchy and when I looked in the mirror I could see that I had a bug bite. The only bug I actually saw was a dead one in the picture frame in the bathroom that was literally under glass. Yes it was small, maybe a flea, but guys, you may want to get that out of there!
The toilet backed up while we were there, fixed within an hour by very courteous gentleman.
The hair dryer was super powerful, forgot to get the brand of that! Awesome!
The bathroom fan was very effective, also something that is typically lacking.
The kitchen was fairly well furnished with dishes, pots, etc, which is not always the case. A dishpan was the only thing I would suggest bringing. Oh and a salt shaker!
Parking is VERY tight!
The front desk employees were all super nice but I hate to say they were some of the most unhelpful people I have come across. Everything they told me from where the closest video/​grocery store, closest restrooms to the beach, restaurants, etc was inaccurate. By day three we decided not to ask them anything.
Guest should know the beach policy is $ 35 dollars to rent 2 chairs and an umbrella. I thought initially that it was provided by hotel. You need to find a lifeguard to pay (good luck with that). The good news is that if you can’t find one, and there is space available you can just use them for nothing which is what we did.

Our kids loved if because they are too young to no better. As others stated, wifi is laughable, room is outdated and our room had laughable mattresses that were years past their useful life. God location but there are definitely better choices for the money.

Camelot (in Myrtle Beach) is… a fairy tale. I was SO excited about our trip! An affordable room in a lovely hotel, surrounded by activities for my two teen-​age boys! (Go-​karts, putt-​putt and water slides people!) And along with our room fee, free passes to these activities?! Which are within walking distance!!? This had to be too good to be true! Aaaand it SO was.
Where to begin? Reservation was placed wrong, so we didn’t get the room that I reserved. When calling down to the front desk, was told there was nothing they could do. How about one free breakfast at the greasy spoon diner across the street instead of the room that you paid an extra $ 50 a night for?
Then, come to find out… these activities for the kids? Walking distance? Um… not even close. The water park is 20 minutes away… by car! And if there’s the least bit of traffic? Took us 35 minutes to get there. And when we got there… well the go-​karts (located inside the park) are NOT included in the free pass. Not to mention that this is the most run-​down water-​park on the entire SC coast. And the free putt-​putt course? Well, just make sure you get there at a certain time, or else you have to pay. Not a huge expense, but not free as we were told. And certainly NOT a mini-​golf course that we ever want to go to again. Matched the water park experience though. Ponds with no water in them, only nasty sludgy grime. A lovely disappointment for children that have seen mega putt-​putt courses all over town.
If you want to drift off to sleep by the sound of the ocean, you’re out of luck at Camelot. Hotel is right on the ocean, which is lovely. Of course, if you’re anywhere low enough to hear the ocean, you have to wait until after 11:00 when the cheesy 80’s music and the kids water fountain shuts down. And even then, there’s probably gonna’ be some rowdy bar crowd that hangs out until God knows when, way after that.
And let’s get into the ambience of the establishment, shall we? Run-​down rooms. Run down furniture. No wifi to speak of. (When I called about it, was told to go out on the balcony.) A pharmaceutical company’s free promotional clock on the wall. (Really? That’s super classy!) And four elevators from 1972 that hardly ever ran. And when they did, they were so full of unhappy, sweaty people, you’d decide to wait another 10 minutes for the next one. (not an exaggeration)
And the staff? I felt like they all wanted to lit-​er-​ally stab me in the face. Their attitude was nothing short of pure hatred for their jobs. Not one smile from ANY staff member. In five days. Not ONE smile. Not even the bartender. We were actually (very rudely) told by one staff member to get out of her way. You might as well forget calling down to the front desk for any assistance with anything. If they even answer the phone, they will NOT be pleased to have to assist you.
I will never never never never never NEVER go to this establishment again. And I will certainly warn EVERYONE to stay away! Their reservation center literally LIED to me. The website lied as well with its pictures of a lovely clean establishment. I cried I was so disappointed. So much money… for an insulting experience.
Oceana Resorts — you have failed. We only get one family vacation a year. It’s all we can afford. And this year… was a heart-​breaker.

For the most part, DON’T GO! Jenna was terrific at check in and the view of the ocean was great. That is where it ended. The room was not updated and when it was, they painted around the pictures. Everything formerly white is now yellowed with age. Furniture is worn, scratched, and stained. Tiles falling off walls. Hairs on the bath towels. Ewww! No counter space in mini-​kitchen so electrical appliances balance precariously on the edge of the sink. No dishwasher or washer/​dryer. Disappointing, to say the least. Thankfully, we enjoyed each other’s company in spite of the location. What others have said is true, you need to stay on floors 11 or higher. Otherwise, the parking garage shares your floor/​hallway, and it is noisy and smelly.

My wife and I had a wonderful stay. We booked our room at a last minute budget website, we paid roughly $ 60 for the night. For us it was a perfect deal. Parking was included, the hotel is very close to the boardwalk and we had a magnificent view of the ocean. Our room was clean and spacious. The kitchen was small, but useful. The one and only negative for us what the bed, it was not as comfortable as we would have hoped. That being said it wasn’t terrible either. We would definitely stay here again. This is our first trip to Myrtle Beach, It’s a wonderful area.

Considering value for price paid, well done. The staff was friendly and cordial. The location was very good. Our room was well kept and had a great view. We would definitely consider a future visit.

Camelot is a nice old hotel. Nothing fancy but the design of the building provided for an enjoyable beach experience. Parking was close to the room which made unpacking the car easier than most. The room had a beautiful view of the ocean and was equipped with a fully stocked kitchen. This hotel is a solid choice in a town where hotel disappointment could be hiding around every turn. Enjoy !

For anyone who would enjoy an updated unit with «beach cottage» feel please ask for unit 615; king size bed; updated; clean. Enjoy your vacation wherever you choose! Please see our unit’s photos above too.

I did not personally stay at this hotel, but the other half of my friend group on senior trip did. So, all 15 of us were frequently hanging out in their room — room 817. It was a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo on the 8^th floor. It wasn’t nearly as nice as our hotel room (we stayed at the South Wind on the Ocean), however, it was nice in comparison to many others in that area.
The hotel looks huge from the pictures on the internet, but what you don’t realize is that the entire front half of the building, all the way to the top is a parking garage. And behind the garage are the motel-​setup rooms.
The pool area is nice, with a lazy river, two pools, two kiddie pools, and two hot tubs. There is also a bar in the pool area. This hotel is in the busy area of Myrtle Beach, so if you’re looking for a peaceful place to stay, this probably isn’t it. Also, if you aren’t a senior, avoid this place like the plague on the first week of June.
Overall a decent hotel, and the prices for rooms aren’t too bad.

We’ve stayed here a couple of times now. We’ve gotten the 3 bedroom suite both times. Awesome accommodations, nice hotel & amenities. Get a room above the 10^th floor if you can & make sure it’s not «senior week». Otherwise you’ll have a bunch of teenagers screaming & yelling at all hours of the day & night. Overall a great place to stay.

it is actually an OK but we find pretty good deal so i paid only 200 bucks for a week! considering the place, i give 4 stars. otherwise, 3 stars

Our experience at this hotel has been bad from the beginning. We arrived at midnight after driving 10 hours. There was a line at «check in» of about 5 guests. The night clerk moved in slow motion and did not seem to be in any rush to check folks in. There were zero customer service skills used at check in. We got to the room and saw that the sofa bed had no blanket. I called the front desk and was told that they were out of blankets. I noticed when I was walking to my room that there were many rooms that were not rented. Their curtains were open and you could see in the rooms. I suggested that maybe they could get a blanket from a room that was not rented. He said he would try. An hour later I called and he said he forgot. An hour later at 3 in the morning they brought us a blanket.
The room is dated and needs renovating. The housekeeping staff only works till noon so if they don’t get your room then, it won’t be cleaned. The gift shop is only open sporadic hours. I hate the nine story garage and wierd lobby. So yourself a favor and don’t stay at this hotel!!!

While this place does have outdated décor, the staff and amenities are nice. We were able to get an early check-​in at 1:00 in the afternoon. We were only staying one night so we wanted to get in all we could as quickly as possible. The hot tubs were not very hot, and the jets weren’t very relaxing but there were plenty of pools for the kiddos. The view was absolutely amazing! We stayed in a two bedroom suite on the third floor, and ended up having a very good time.

This Hotel is OK, it is better suited for a young family looking to stay on the beach and cut costs by having an effeciency. It is an older hotel in need of a facelift, cheap mattresses and furniture. Your room doors open directly to the parking garage which makes it very noisy when someone starts their car. The rooms have no sound proofing so you hear everything around you.

This hotel is very clean with great parking. It is located on the beach which is a plus for an oceanfront room. The beds aren’t that plush and it was upsetting but tolerable! You can get great deals off season!

I booked a room here over the internet. Three bedrooms, ocean view (I think all the rooms are) and got lucky enough to have a room on the 17^th floor (though it did enable my friend to – possibly, we’re still not sure – throw a glass over the balcony.) We saw a special on their website that entitled us to four free IMAX tickets and pounced on it. It was about $ 150 per night, which is great for a three-​bedroom on spring break.
Check-​in was quick. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The room was clean, we had a great view, and I slept peacefully every night while listening to the ocean. The kitchen had everything we needed – including a dishwasher – and I didn’t have any problems with the wireless. The elevator scared me at times (because nothing that can kill me with a malfunction should make that sound) but obviously I didn’t die screaming in an elevator crash.
Loved the lazy river. Loved the hot tubs, especially the outdoor one, which I thought felt good even in the chilly March air. The parking garage is huge – goes up to the 10^th or 11^th floor, I think – and you need to be careful when driving in and out of it. We couldn’t hear the other guests from our room. We were on the corner of the building, which was great, too. Really just a nice, inexpensive hotel. Give it a try!

I enjoyed my stay here. Nice sized clean room with a ocean view and balcony. I recommend it to anyone looking for a nice moderately priced hotel on the beach.
