The Ten Best Hotel Deals for Spring Break in Myrtle Beach

Feb 11, 2009 Real Estate Condos

Nearly 2,000,000 students will be out on spring break March nine through thirteen. I have researched the top deals on these dates since most students will be out then. If you want to see other dates, I am sure the prices are similar, you will just have to go to a booking firm and check to be sure, or convince your school to change their spring break dates, whichever you choose.

You do have to understand that the rates mentioned here are estimates of what will actually be paid, and after reading this you may not be able to find them. That is because I published this today, and I have no way to update the rates. You can use this a guidance for your trip though.

The Polynesian Beach & Golf Resort is an ocean front condo property. Their average nightly rate is $31.00. 50% of guests who stay here recommend it.

Grand Strand Days Inn is right off the beach. A quick walk across the street and you are there. The rooms here start at about thirty-four bucks and over sixty percent of prior guests would recommend the property.

The Oceanfront Viking Motel is an ocean and beachfront property. They have rooms starting at about $37.00 per night. 62% of guests who stay here recommend it.

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 a beach side property. The rooms there start at just 42.00 per night. 72% of our customers who have stayed there recommend it to their friends.

Days Inn Myrtle Beach is about forty-three dollars per night. Sixty two percent of guests who have stayed at this hotel give it the thumbs up.

Sandcastle Oceanfront Resort at the Pavilion runs about 43.00 average per night. 66% of people that have stayed there would recommend staying again.

Sea Crest Oceanfront Resort this is another condo type property that we sell like a hotel room. It runs about 45.00 at the time of this writing per night. 82% of previous guests recommend this property.

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.

If you are looking to go to Myrtle Beach for your spring break now is the time to book. Hotel rates are expected to drop, but demand will also tighten when an equilibrium is hit, that was for all you economics students! As demand rises and supply shrinks you know what happens to price!
