Find the Cheap Shallotte Hotels

My family and I just spent a couple of nights there this past weekend. The hotel is nice, nicely located and clean. They offer a free hot breakfast to include eggs (not so great), waffles, bacon, link sausage and turkey sausage as well as biscuits and gra. There was an older woman who mans the cooking station and she has a little glass set up for tips. If you go there, tip her--we did. She was VERY busy on Sunday and running everything by herself. Plus, when we handed her a tip, she had a million dollar smile that was worth every penny of the tip just on the basis of that alone! My only issue, and it's not even an issue from the hotel, is that somehow, the ”privacy please” sign ended up on our door. We had driven down to Myrtle Beach on Sunday and were hot and sweaty and covered in sane when we returned around 4:30. Since the placard was placed on our door, no one ever came in to clean the room. Wouldn't have been a big deal but the humidity control isn't the greatest and the towels that we had used the previous night were still quite damp. I went down to the front desk and asked if we could at least get the trash emptied and new towels. I arrived at the front desk at 5:05 PM and had to walk by housekeeping to get there. The woman at the desk told me that housekeeping was already closed so we could not have the trash emptied. I told her that I had just walked past housekeeping and there was a woman in the department but I was told she had already clocked out and couldn't help. The front desk did give me fresh towels, though. I wasn't annoyed, just a little sad because we wanted the trash out of the room (we had ordered pizza Saturday night because almost everything else was closed and we had an almost 8 hour drive to get there) There is a salt water pool and, while small, is very comfy--water temperature was perfect and they have nice chaise lounges. One word of caution, not about the hotel but about the area: several places we went, including Bojangles next door, are short staffed. As such, we noticed places closing a few hours before the posted closing time and when they close at 7 PM, it can make is challenging very quickly to find food. Call places before you go so you don't waste a trip driving there. All in all, my children (21 and 25) and younger son's girlfriend were pleased with the hotel, especially the cleanliness of it. If we were to go back to the area (we were there for a funeral), we would not hesitate to stay there again.

Unfortunately we wouldn’t stay here again. There was a cockroach in our bathroom and the AC was so loud. Positives: the breakfast, location and right on the beach.
