Comfort Inn North Myrtle Beach

It was scary-we went in thru back door-hallway was nasty, dirty, smelled of smoke-the non-smoking rooms were on same hall and very close to smoking rooms. We were there for relaxation, fun, and quiet time of reflection. So this made it pretty uneasy to stay in the room for long periods of time (which we had planned a day of reflection in the room). We didn't really want to stay. We found chocolate in the chair, hair in tub, empty bag of chips behind bed, light bulp filthy, small holes in bed spread, seem like bugs (not a lot just enough to notice) was plaster to the wall (but you could hardly see it) we saw them because we totally disinfected the room with amonia, bleach, lysol, all purpose cleaner [from the frg, microvave, bathrm & tub just about everything you could touch, sprayed the beds, didn't walk barefoot on carpet. I just stopped looking because it was discouraging. We had to pray and encourage each other that we will do more research and spare no expense next time. It took us [my sister-in-law]about 2 hours to convince ourselves to adapt to dealing with the conditions. We were there Sun-Thurs. and even on Tues. I still considered checking out or just spending one day at a more suitable place. If you are a person with low standards and like the Motel 6/8 type then you will love this hotel. If you want to feel somewhat at home and carefree, then this is not the place for you. It is not something I wish to experience again. I only booked because of the breakfast but next time complimentary breakfast won't be a factor-I'll get my own. When looking at the reviews for this hotel before I went, I attempted to give them the benefit of the doubt since some reviews were from 2009 & 2010. Thinking that surely someone with the company is monitoring the reviews and correcting the complaints. But as we entered and throughout our stay the reviews kept penetrating my mind, so I never reported anything to the staff. I figured that serves me right trying to cut costs and I had been warned by the reviews. Please read reviews they are at least 90% right. So if you can deal with taking a chance then go ahead and book, but please beware sometimes pictures aren't worth a thousand words but a headache. The only great part was the breakfast and friendliness of the staff. The location wasn't that bad as well as having free internet access and the business center in lobby free of use.
