The Sandbar Hotel Myrtle Beach, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

Staff was excellent! Great location 15-20 minute walk to food and fun. The beach was right across the street. They have an indoor pool, but it was in the building across the street. Loved the location. Strongly suggest bringing air freshener (luckily I always do). The rooms were really clean. Just didn’t like the smell. A little updating and touch ups wouldn’t hurt. Loved that everyone actually used the shower before entering the pool, which kept the pool bottom from being sandy which I usually expect at the beach. The rooms have everything you need including a broom. So if you’re like me you can sweep up the sand on the floor. Never had to ask for towels they were very efficient. Really liked that they had pool towels in the room.

Although the property is older, the owners are obviously working to update the facility. We had a lovely 1b/1b suite that was quite comfortable. The bed was great. It did need some minor maintenance, but it did not hamper our stay. The property is pet-friendly, but they charge $60/night for your animal. So this doubled the cost per night during our stay. If looking to book a stay in Myrtle Beach, be aware that virtually all properties near the beach will charge a "resort fee". This property charges $20.00 per night. We found this to be the lowest in the area. We would happily stay at this property again.

DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL! Checked in at 3:40P on 09/14/2025 at the hotel across the highway from the beach. We called to see if we could check in earlier since we arrived in Myrtle Beach. The man said we would have to pay for an extra day and another $60 security deposit, and we would have to check out then check back in. He was not sure we would get the same room. So went sight seeing for a few hours. A nice lady checked us in. Told us we would have to pay $60. but would get it back if no damage to our room. When we got to our room, it was disgusting. Very long black hair was in the sink. Floor was filthy. The bed seemed clean and was comfortable. Hardly none of the outlets worked for us to plug in our cell phones and iPads. Was only able to plug in one phone. Went out to for 3 1/2 hours. When we returned there was water on the floor coming from the bathroom.When entering the bathroom there was a puddle of water, and water was coming down the wall from the ceiling. We did not use the shower at all! The stool was dirty and gross! It was late, we went to bed. Got up at 4:30am., there was water still coming down the wall, and the sink was full of tiny little bugs. We instantly got dressed and was gone by 5:00. When we went out our door, there was a woman going through the trash can. No one in the office, left key card in the room. Hope to never see that hotel again. Waiting to see if we get our security deposit. The room and bathroom was horrific! I did take pictures of the sink filled with bugs, And the wall with water coming down from the ceiling and on the floor. However, don’t see a way to post it. Will save the pictures in case my deposit is not fully refunded.

I really enjoyed staying here. The room was nice. The people who work here were very pleasant and helpful. That not only includes the Front Desk folks, but the cleaning staff. They have a nice pool which stays open until 11pm. My favorite is they are across the street from the beach. Grab your gear and get there in a few minutes. I would absolutely stay here again And I recommend it

We had no choice but to stay here due to all the other hotels being full. There was rust around the soap dispensers and shower. There was pubic hair stuck on the bathroom ceiling, which leads me to believe they use the same towel to wipe down multiple areas. We booked through booking.com. We paid an extra $100 to push back our check out time. The housekeeping guy walked in without knocking first into our room while me and my daughter were getting dressed to go to the beach. Then he came knocking again at 220 asking if we were about to check out. I told him no we paid to stay longer. We felt rushed the whole time. Few days after we left I see a charge of $220. I called the hotel (recorded the call) and the guy told me he was told that we had a pet. The only person who we saw in our building was the middle eastern guy from housekeeping.. So I proceeded to tell the front desk guy about how housekeeping walked into our room without knocking and he said was “yea I don’t know anything about that. These people make up lies to try and charge you extra and they don’t care about customers. You would think due to the hotel not being so great that they would at least make up for it with their customer service.

I am writing this in hopes no one falls for this hotel like we did. We stayed a total of 4 nights and everything was fine except when we went to check out! They charged my card an additional $40 without my permission. I still don’t have my $200 security deposit even though the room had NO DAMAGE, NO ANIMALS… it was left the same way when we first arrived! When we called to inquire about this charge… the guy said “oh they stated you had a cat in the room”. This is pretty ironic because I am HIGHLY ALLERGIC to animals and I don’t own any! When I proceed to explain we had no animals and I wanted to speak to someone higher up. He stated I must email since the owner manages multiple properties (last time he was there was over a week ago) No direct number. I emailed and STILL no response. I am leaving a bad review and letting everyone know… DO NOT STAY HERE. I will be pursing until my funds have been recovered! Even if that means my lawyer gets involved.

Our first impression was decent rooms, a bit dated and cramped but overall okay. Check in staff was friendly. The outdoor pool area is nice and very family friendly. We never used the indoor pool since it was in a different building almost a block away. We learned the first night people will be screaming and fighting in their rooms and outside the rooms every single night. We were next to a gate that loudly creaked the whole wall every time it was opened. Good luck parking anywhere near your room after 7pm. We extended our stay and were told at check in everything was taken care of. Well the day we extended for we found out we needed to check back in with another deposit when we got back from the beach and couldn’t get in our room so that was super frustrating with a tired kid. Our last night there the person above us flooded our bathroom showering. So we had to deal with maintenance coming in and out at 10:30 at night. He was very friendly and apologetic but it was still a ridiculous situation. Said it was from kids playing in the tub but definitely seemed like a leaking hot pipe since it happened off and on all night as their family showered so we just kept a pile of towels on the floor so none of us slipped in the middle of the night. Also housekeeping will barely come in to take towels and throw a pile of new ones on the bed at random times each day, usually the evening. They won’t take trash. We had to get pool towels a few times since they never brought them back and finally gave up after the 3rd day. We also found out the very last day housekeeping has a broom and dust pan tucked behind the fridge and ironing board in each room since they don’t come in to clean at all. Overall would stay somewhere else in the future.

I don't know what the bad reviews are about. We booked a room here for July 4th week. And we had the best time. Room was right across the street from the beach. Outdoor pool and lazy river. Indoor pool and jacuzzi. The kids had the time of their life. Our room had a great view of the ocean. People that worked at hotel helped us with anything we needed. Can't wait to go back. Hotel is located in a very good location. 👍

Cheap rates, AAA discount, last-minute booking, room for 70 a night, 10$ for additional cars, 50$ refundable deposit. Level 2 EV charging, two damaged Teslas, one verified working. Also has two J1772 chargers. Bland and empty room, tub plug requires holding open to drain. Pool empty but relaxing with lazy river, 9ft pool. Hotel staff was friendly and nice.

I booked this hotel from photos on Priceline. Those photos were sooooo misleading. There is no ocean front property. When we arrived to the hotel we couldn't pull into the lot due to a large crowd of people blocking the driveway partying. We obtained a room on the street, literally on the street, and woke up to a parade the next morning on Ocean Blvd. The room was clean but my son could sleep on the pullout couch due to all the stains.

Location Location Location. On the strip right across from the beach. I gotta say we got the Best Room in the place. Ground level beach side. Close to beach. Pool with a Lazy River, Kitchen and full fridge stove n microwave if you don't wanna eat out every night or if you are here for a week or more. Close to everything. Only down size it is dated. Not fancy at all. It's a beach spot so the wear and tear is noticeable. Staff was friendly. Parking not an issue. Good experience for our family.

I have zero complaints regarding Sandbar hotel. My stay was excellent. This is late October, and it may be " off season". The beach, just steps from the hotel,(tower) was fairly quiet. A smattering of beach-goers. The views from the balcony, beautiful. The bed and pillows comfortable. I slept soundly. My room had a kitchenette. Fridge microwave coffee maker. Bathroom well stocked. Shower. Hot. Towels decent. Across the street main hotel, pool, coffee bar, waffles 630-930, and front desk staff A++ I checked in with Venecia and I highly recommend 10/10

The hotel hosts were so helpful and respectful. Our room was very clean and well kept. We had plenty of towels I mean plenty . The walk to the beach was minutes away from the hotel and so was all the food. Had a very pleasant stay

The only good thing about the stay was that the beach was beautiful. The room was terrible. Balcony door was a pain to open and the toilet paper roll was hanging on by 1 screw. The room was dirty and the furniture was old. Found a couple dead bugs in the room. Management was no help. My guests left after 1 hour of being there. They said there is no way their son is staying in these conditions. Wish I would have booked at the Hampton inn next door.

This hotel was very clean, friendly and fun! I don't even know where to start, it was all around a great hotel, especially for the price. The staff was incredible, so sweet and accommodating. My friend and I went to the lazy river at night. It wasn't turned on but we were floating around anyway. A staff member came out to turn it on, got us tubes and played us some music. Shot out to that guy, he was great. But all of the staff was wonderful. They stopped us on the walk way to check if we needed more towels and were all around amazing. The room was very very clean! Towels and bedding were spotless. It's very noticeable that the staff here actually cares about your stay. Both pools were a ton of fun! I'm a huge fan of their little lazy River. My friend and I had to have gone around it at least 50 times! The indoor pool being across the street is a little strange but it's a very short walk. The gym was also very clean and nice, I didn't work out lol Between price, cleanliness, and the friendly staff, I wish I could give them a higher rating.

Rooms are trash.. Also it's a scam stay away... water stains on the wall. Never trust internet pictures...

Booked through third party company and went through the proper channels to confirm my reservation and my request (ocean view / balcony). Spoke with woman at desk who informed me that if the room was available I would be able to get the room at the hotels discretion. Past trauma with motel style rooms which was expressed. With that being said the manager who was working 4/2/2024 should count his blessings. Laughed at my request because the amount paid to the hotel was less than the value of the room placed upon the hotel. Mind you I called the company I booked through and the hotel before booking. Refused my request and tried to charge me $214 more to book the room (ocean view/balcony). Hotel is split so what's advertised is not always what you're going to get unless you book directly at the desk. High rises /Ocean View is across the street and motel style rooms are on the opposite side of the street. Mind you the room was not even being used nor being requested by anyone else. I paid money for two nights and spend about 2 hours if not 3 hours going back and forth about the integrity of the phone calls prior to the conversation at the desk. Spend your money else where because at this point...you could have been in a whole lot better resort or high rise for the amount they are requesting for there rooms. Close to $400 they wanted me to pay to not even have an ocean view.

I hate Myrtle Beach, can't stand it, too crowded, tooany people, traffic sucks in and out. I was on a job and got booked at this place. Considering half of the clientele I saw when I arrived, my hopes weren't too high. I was pleasantly surprised, the lobby was fresh, and clean, dated but clean. Staff was just lovely, very jovial and polite, they actually have a sense of humor. I was on the 4th floor, 2 room suite. The elevator is quiet and smooth as hell. The fourth floor was not part of the original motel and was added later as I'm sure the elevator was and the portico over the entrance. There is also an annex on the actual beach. The room was fine. Very sparse, the loveseat in the main living area was fine. The living area needs a sofa and a couple armchairs. The bedroom was huge with a private balcony, once again fine. It needs a desk and perhaps a couple armchairs. Bathroom was nice and clean. The whole room felt early 2000s earth tone chic. That's all, just dated. The rust on certain finishes is 100% normal. It's just part of coastal living. That's all this place needs is a fluff and stuff.....the peeling concrete should be addressed by a professional on the second and third floor promenades Honestly for a coastal motel, it's just fine. The bed was comfy, the room was adequate and lets be realistic, at Myrtle your room is a place to sleep.

Stayed 4 nights 710.00 dollars .Charged 271.00 dollars because we had a small dog with us. Black mold present on spackle where water damage had been repaired . Lose ceramic tile in bathroom ready to fall off the wall near floor by vanity. Lots of indigent drug addicts in this area of Myrtle beach.

Hotel itself is adequate. Nothing fancy and close to the beach but not on the beach. Staff is pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately, it's not a great area of town. There's a fair amount of beggars, junkies and prostitutes in the area. You will be solicited if you wander. Pool is unsecured and I saw a non patron using it who also was looking for a fight with one of our party. Indoor pool is across the street in another building, it's key card secured but they leave the large, side windows open so drug dealers were in there one night forcing us to leave. If you can afford better, then do so.

This Hotel Does Not Offer Breakfast Like The Website States And Housekeeping Was Horrible - I Asked 3 Times For New Sheets And Never Received Them - Not Once Did They Come In And Clean The Room In The 8 Days We Were There - We Also Had To Go Buy Toilet Paper Because They Never Replaced It - Right Next Door To A Crack Hotel With VERY Shady People Next Door - ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE PLACE - Also Charges A $20 A Day "Destination" Fee - IT's A JOKE - Don't Stay Here!!!

The good: To start, the actual hotel itself wasn't too shabby. This hotel had all the amenities I ideally want in a hotel such as an outdoor pool, indoor pool, hot tub and "lazy river". All in all, these pools were well maintained and quite enjoyable! Very close walking distance to the beach which was superb. The Bad: the staff was definitely not helpful. I was very disappointed to find out that the complimentary breakfast as advertised all over the website was no longer available. When I asked about this the employee insisted that they do not advertise this anymore and that it must have been through a third party. I knew this was not accurate so had pulled up the pictures and information regarding the breakfast on the Sandbar website to show her. She then called out her "manager" who said "okay I will delete it from the webpage". That was all they were going to do for us. I know it's silly but for us, we were excited to bulk up on the breakfast and then have a light lunch for the day so to find out that was no longer available and falsely advertised was a real bummer. We had flown in from New York and when asked if we could check in early they proceeded to tell us it was 60$ to do so. If the room is ready, just let us check in early? I have never heard of a hotel charging to check in early. Was also pretty shocked to have to put down a 200$ security deposit but I guess I didn't read the fine print. Had to ask several times to have someone empty the trash in our room. We ended up doing it ourselves. Also when booking i didn't realize how far the boardwalk was from hotel, about 1-2 mile walk! Overall, was okay but probably won't return

First, let's start with Rose at the front desk who helped me carry my luggage across the street to the high-rise on the beach. Yes, there are two parts to this hotel, and I had asked for an ocean view room and it is fabulous. But since i flew in, I couldn't park right next to the high-rise. But she is more than worthy of a major salary raise for kindly schlepping a huge duffel across the street. The view from the room is fabulous and has a separate little living room/kitchen. Feeling like a queen. Everyone here is super friendly and helpful.

Allow me to establish my credibility as a seasoned traveler and a professional with a deep understanding of business practices. As a retired combat vet with 23 years of service, I have had the opportunity to travel extensively, staying in various hotels and accommodations during our many permanent changes of stations both overseas and in the continental United States. Furthermore, I hold an MBA and am a doctoral candidate, which has honed my ability to evaluate business practices. As someone with a keen understanding of business principles, I must express my profound disappointment with our stay at the Sandbar Hotel in Myrtle Beach. The management team's lack of transparency and failure to address the numerous issues we encountered was disheartening and a stark departure from the service we expected from a Wyndham franchise. The following were encountered during our stay: * Numerous verbal and physical altercations among people outside of our hotel cottage. For example, two suspects assaulted a victim outside our cottage at 3 am, and the police were dispatched. An ambulance responded and transported the victim. * Upon Our return to the cottage after dark, we noticed a grocery buggy on our front lawn and a person on our back patio. Considering we were sharing the patio with our daughter, staying in the adjacent cottage, we were startled as no one should have been hanging out there. We asked him if he was maintenance, and we got a response that he was recharging his phone. Therefore, we expressed our concerns to the management, who, despite calling the police and issuing a trespassing warning, seemed unconcerned and offered no resolution. The cumulative effect of these incidents left us feeling anxious and uncomfortable, necessitating our decision to leave. We then went to the front desk; thankfully, the clerk was empathetic. Without being able to consult with management, the clerk decided to move us to one of their smaller main hotel rooms. * During our stay in the smaller hotel room, we dealt with the presence of roaches. Also, fights broke out in the motel across from us. Additionally, we noticed someone passed out on the bench next to our room when taking our dogs out around 1 am, and they were still present on the bench when we checked out at 10 am. * When leaving, we noticed that our room charges per night were the same as our daughter, who stayed in a 3-room cottage beside us, compared to our 1-bedroom cottage. We complained to management and were told that we were somehow charged a 3-bedroom rate, yet because we acknowledged the reservation, we had no recourse to receive a refund for the overcharge. The response was: "You decided the rate you booked, and the hotel is not giving you a discount." Therefore, either the management team condones charging the same rate for each cottage regardless of size, or their business practice allows no compensation for mistakes made on their part. * When reserving our reservation, the website noted they offer a continental breakfast. However, there was no breakfast, and the clerk advised us that the continental breakfast had been discontinued months ago. While we understand that the hotel is under new management, a confident management team would have contacted guests who had booked before the decision or offered refunds. * Additionally, my daughter also had a negative experience with similar issues. We both complained to management. When contacting the manager, I relayed my dissatisfaction with his response and noted I would complain to Wyndham. He remarked that Wyndham would refer to the hotel's management team for a response. Whether intended or not, I felt this was a way of them alluding I was wasting my time. My daughter and I complained to Wyndham and received an identical cookie-cutter response stating they had addressed all our issues. This is not accurate. For example, management did not switch our rooms. Instead, a concerned clerk, after attempting to consult with management with no response, decided to change our room. Also, our trouble was a cascading waterfall as more issues were encountered. While not all these issues were identified during our stay, they are essential and should be considered after the facts are presented. If we could render a 0 rating, then we would. My recommendation is if planning a trip to Myrtle Beach, you avoid this hotel at all costs.

There are two buildings for this hotel, only one is beach-side so unless you paid for a beach-side room, you will be across the street. There is a cross walk to get across, which is fine but what was not great about the hotel is that the area is pretty noisy at night, the walls are thin enough to hear eeeeeverything. People talking outside, cars, etc. The rooms look like they've been recently renovated, maybe? The floors are vinyl but DIRTY. It's as if they don't mop or wipe them after visits because we walked around without shoes/socks and our feet were black on the bottoms. We had to wash our feet in the bathtub and then continue to wear our slippers around the whole room our whole visit. It was pretty nasty. The bathroom has rusty shower rails and rusty door hinges. A plus is that they are pet friendly. Other then how close it is to the beach and being able to bring my pup, I probably wouldn't stay at this hotel again if I went back to Myrtle Beach.

At check in we were upgraded to the "Penthouse" which is 6th floor and on the beach. Peggy was great. Wonderful wrap around deck and kitchen and 2 bedrooms. Not sure why we got upgraded, but it was really appreciated. 1980's themed décor like much of Myrtle Beach but clean and in good working order. Breakfast was wrapped bagels and doughnuts and not hot like the website says, but that was OK. Great place, would return.
