Property looked nothing like advertised, i had a whole in my cieling with plaster coming out of it. There were electrical outlets no cover wires exposed. On the Balcony a huge structural crack. Checking in the counter person was not friendly and acted as if customers were bothering her. Room had no towels had to call front desk and they only gave me 3. Speaking of calling there was no cord that connects the phone receiver to the actual base of the phone. I called next day asking if house keeping would bring towels he said no you need to come to front desk and bring your used towels. Horrible!! Will not come back. They need a city or state inspection this place does not look safe.
Overall Ocean Crest was a no for me.
1. roof falling in
2. Bottom of Fridge rusting
3. Not 1 towel
4. check in Front desk Rude
5. Room key didn't work
6. Electrical outlet exposed
7. Again not 1 towel
8. No apology for no towels,
9. Something leaking from the balcony above.
Just be careful booking here. Definitely disappointed.

Very poor experience.
I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. The room that was originally assigned to us smelled of wet dog, the hotel overall is not clean, the stairwell smelled like urine, the smell of pot was thick in the air, I would say that this hotel is pretty nasty. It is outdated terribly. The desk clerk was able to give us a little bit better room that smelled cleaner. The floor had not been mopped in quite a while, as when I wiped up some water off the floor the tissue that I used was filthy.

Hotel right on the beach. Accommodations were adequate for our stay in Myrtle Beach. Only real complaint would be that the air conditioning didn't seem too cool adequately. Good place for the money.
I am very disappointed in my stay at the Ocean Crest Inn located in South Myrtle Beach . Not only were the pictures misleading looking nothing like it does online . It has Rust , Mold , Roaches , Broken Doors , Stains on bedding and towels and that’s just the half . The staff was amazing ! But the room experience was awful
The room was dirty and run down nothing like the photos the entire property should be condemned will never stay or use hotels.com again allowing misleading information and photos to be used on their site
The place is incredibly run down and dirty. The elevator felt like it was going to fall apart. Roches were in the trash. Doors were busted and bent. Card reader to open door broke while it was 100 degrees out and the had to call maintenance in to fix it. Other people were also having the same issues. Would never stay there again.

Disgustingly dirty. Stunk of weed, cigarettes and bodily fluids. Black mold growing on the walls. Holes that appeared to have been punched in the walls. The elevator to the 5th floor is extremely unsafe and the doors jammed shut and wouldn’t let us exit for several minutes. Found curly black hair in all the towels. Moldy showers. Hole in bathroom ceiling above the shower. Floors are tripping hazards with inconsistent leveling. Extremely outdated and gross. The halls don’t appear to have ever been cleaned. Honestly the whole place should be burned to the ground.
