Dayton House Resort in Myrtle Beach, SC

The positives: This hotel is between a Hilton and a Marriott. It is 1/3 the price and has direct beach access. The buffet breakfast is a full hot serve, not out-of-the package reheated. It is also centrally located (walking distance) to several events and shopping. Long walks on the beach and 15-20 minute walk to the boardwalk. The negatives: parking is limited, even with the lot across the street. The buffet breakfast is across the street on the other side of the parking lot, so no sneeking down for a quick cup of joe while the family is still getting dressed. The room is abour 20 years old and is need of renovation. Bottom line: If you are looking beach time, water sports, put-put golf, shopping and a cheap place to sleep and shower, ithis hotel is great.If you want to relax in the room - go next door.

When I booked the room over the phone I reserved a Oceanfront Standard Room. And when I got there the room wasn't ready yet so the Clerk ask me it I would like a Suite. Great choice. The room was excellent. I would choice this Hotel again.

This was our first visit to Myrtle Beach and we chose Dayton House Resort because it was one of the places people recommended and I see why. From the time we booked with this resort it was a wonderful experience that has inspire us to return may more times in the future. We stayed 5 days and when we arrived the greeting from the front desk staff was so heartwarming and we felt like we arrived to our home. We chose one of the renovated rooms and it didn't disappoint and it was clean and well decorated.(We loved the TV, the kitchen area, and the bathroom mirror which was great for taking pictures.) The since it was thanksgiving week and most of the things around where closed we where happy to see that the Yella Umbrella was still open the lady on staff was so amazing and she has such a great knowledge of the area which makes us want to explore moving down to the area in the future. We had complementary Breakfast at the Rose Room across the street from the resort and it was the best breakfast I have had any hotel or resort. Every morning we was greeted by Brenda and she was so welcoming and help us when we needed it she was also very knowledgeable about the area and told us some special spots to check out that was open for the holiday. Dayton House had 3 hot tubes yes I said 3 and they where all amazing and the pools where heated as well and a great place to relax as the sunsets. We will always use Dayton House Resort for our future stays.

Great room, awesome ocean front view. Loved the Yella Umbrella. Only critique; make sure if you are paying cash at check in, you are prepared to have an additional $100 hold on the credit card used to reserve the room. They will not accept a full payment over the phone. Was not informed of this after speaking with two different people until check in. It's for a security deposit. Will stay at this location again.

I booked the Dayton House online after searching numerous resorts on the Grand Strand. The one thing that helped me pick this location was the wonderful reviews it received. And it is reasonably priced. I am not disappointed one bit. We have an oceanfront 1 bedroom suite with a full size refrigerator, stove, and microwave (not that I want to cook while on a vacation), and it serves us well. The rooms are clean and the cleaning staff have been great. The special touch is the delicious breakfast provided every morning -- hot buffet. I was helped by Brenda in the Rose Room who went above and beyond to provide super hot coffee to me on Thanksgiving morning (as I left for a family gathering). Thanks, Brenda!!!!!! Nice pools, good parking, and a little snack bar to help quench our thirst. I am pleased with our stay!!
