My husband and I recently stayed at the Fifth and Ocean Hotel in Myrtle Beach. Overall, it was a decent stay, but there are a few things worth noting for future guests.
Location:
The location is definitely a highlight. It’s conveniently situated just a short walk from the beach, which made getting to the water quick and easy. There are also shops and restaurants nearby, which was a plus.
Room:
The room itself was nicely decorated, clean, and stocked with plenty of towels, washcloths, and a blow dryer. We appreciated the thoughtful touches, and the space felt welcoming. However, noise was a significant downside. The walls are quite thin — we could hear loud bass from cars on the street and even people walking past our door. If you’re a light sleeper, you might want to bring earplugs.
Bathroom:
The shower had great water pressure and got hot quickly, which we loved. That said, the drain isn’t centered in the middle of the shower floor, so water pooled and didn’t drain efficiently. It wasn’t a dealbreaker, but it’s something management might want to address.
Parking:
Parking is available but a bit tight, especially if you’re driving a larger vehicle. We managed just fine, but it did require some caution when pulling in and out of the lot.
Amenities:
The room only had one small trash can, which wasn’t quite enough for the duration of our stay. Luckily, we brought our own trash bag, which came in handy. For larger disposals, there are bigger trash bins located outside.
