    If you ever come back to MB you need to try Burkeys as a a MB resident cheap but great food and the inside feels like a 1950s diner.

      The only thing that sucks tho is it’s been closed for a few months now because a fire broke out but is reopening soon.

      Back in 1995 during our Senior week getaway. Some of my friends stay at South Seas. It was a nice place back then.

    I have a few more motels to add to your future hunts. The Tropical Oasis Hotel is still standing at 9th Ave S and Ocean Blvd. It was most recently renovated and owned by a famous hotel chain. Now it’s up for sale. Another hotel is called Blu Atlantic Hotel which used to be called the Atlantic Paradise when I stayed there many years ago. On the ocean front in the southern part of town. One final one to add is the Beachcomber Hotel which is still called the Beachcomber and was recently renovated a few years back. It’s also located oceanfront in the south end of town. I used to stay there as well back in the 90’s. Check em out and enjoy. I just subscribed to your channel so I’ll be watching your videos

      And the Polynesian. $31 a night for a ground floor poolside room back in '06. Voted one of the top 10 dirtiest motels in America. But man, did we have some memories there. Being broke college students from SC, Myrtle was the best we could afford for spring break.

      I was at Simply Southern Smokehouse restaurant in Myrtle Beach last month. One of the employees was telling me they heard Myrtle Beach had plans of bringing a Casino to the old Pavilion location. They could not confirm it for sure. I guess we will see what happens in a few years. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend my friend.

    My family have been staying at MB consistently for the last 15 years and love it. I first stayed there when I was a kid in the early 70s. The motel was T & C Motor Court off King's Highway. I'm guessing it was at 2nd Ave N. I remember walking down to the 2nd Street Pier (I believe). Wonderful family memories! Anyone remember that motel or where it was located?

    Wow you have that history. Very nostalgic motel vlog. They look pretty kept up. Hard for them to compete with the big guys. Myrtle holds many spaces in peoples memories. I bet someone would jump off the 3rd floor to get into the pool on that second one. Now I am hungry and need food! You had me at BBQ. 🍖

I believe you are right about someone jumping off the upper floor back in the good old days.😂 I may or may not have done that crazy move at a motel in Carolina Beach in the mid 90’s.🤣 My choices were questionable back then.

    Back in the late 60's as a kid we stayed at Waikiki Village on the southend,it's still there with a nice recent renovation.My grandparents stayed at the Sun Fun motel a few blocks from the boardwalk,it's still there and in pretty good shape,I think it's being used as a long term stay motel.I also think it would be cool if they had an Amphitheater or a Bandshell where the Volleyball courts are now for free concerts.
