Save Big Money! 10 Great Deals in Myrtle Beach for Spring Break

February 11th, 2009 No comments

So a vast amount of students will be on spring break March 9 through March 13. There are close to two million students out of school at this time, so the rates in this release are for those dates. The other dates probably have similar rates, but you will have to check that.

Please understand that I can’t change the rates after I publish this post. That means that it is possible at the time you are reading this the rates are more expensive, or if you are lucky, cheaper. The key fact here is, however, that this can guide you on what hotels or condos to look at when booking your trip.

The Polynesian Beach & Golf Resort is a condo or vacation rental property right on the beach, they even have ocean front rooms. The average nightly rate is about thirty one dollars. About one in two guests that stay there recommend it.

Grand Strand Days Inn is located directly across the street from the beach. You can get a room there starting at about $34.00. Sixty Four percent of people who have stayed at this property say they would stay again.

The Oceanfront Viking Motel is located right on the beach. The rooms here start at about thirty-seven dollars a night and they are also recommended by over sixty percent of the guests who have stayed there.

Ocean Plaza Motel is ocean front at the south end of the city. They average about 38.00 per night at this point. 70% of guests who have stayed recommend it.

The Super 8 on Ocean Boulevard is another good place to stay. You can save money here by booking rooms as low as $41 per night and it has a 70% recommend rating.

Atlantic Palms Resort is right on the beach. This hotel has rooms staring at $42. Our customers who have stayed there before give this a seventy two percent rating.

Days Inn Myrtle Beach runs you about forty three bucks a night and sixty two percent of guests that have been to this place say it is a good place to rest your head.

Sandcastle Oceanfront Resort at the Pavilion is a great property for just $43 per night. Sixty six percent of our previous customers have given this property the go as a good place to stay.

Sea Crest Oceanfront Resort is also a condominium property. We sell this one on our site like a hotel, as many discount brokers do. The price is about $45 per night. A whopping eighty two percent of people who have stayed here loved it.

Rodeway Inn Surfside Beach is $45 a night, but has a horrible rating. Only twenty percent of our guests recommend it, and that is low. So we skip that hotel and recommend the Red Roof Inn Myrtle Beach Hotel – Market Commons which is 2 blocks from the beach. Seventy six percent of guests recommend it and it is the same price as the Rodeway.

Now is the time to book in Myrtle Beach for your spring break trip. I know that hotel rates have been published that they will hit a record low, but simple economics will state that as the time gets closer the room rates are going up.
