CAPITAL O SUNSET WAVES HOTEL MYRTLE BEACH OCEANFRONT, Myrtle Beach

The property is situated on 13th Street, less than half a kilometre from a cluster of restaurants including Tena's, Atlantis Restaurants, Gazebo Restaurant, and Paradise Pancake & Omelet House. The check-in building is located behind another building, and the hotel name on the building may differ from the brand. The immediate area includes a mix of residential and commercial properties; the hotel's address is on 13th Street, but the check-in area and parking may be set back from the main road. Guests arriving by car should use the free private parking on site, but note that parking spots can be limited and incorrect parking may lead to towing. The hotel's name includes 'Oceanfront,' but ocean views are not guaranteed from all rooms depending on the building assignment.

The hotel offers rooms with private bathrooms and air conditioning, but confirmed room details vary significantly. Some guests have reported that the advertised room type (e.g., quadruple suite with multiple beds, kitchen, or oceanfront balcony) was not available upon arrival. The rooms may have full-size beds rather than the queen or king bedding shown in descriptions. Some rooms have no television, no Wi-Fi, or windowless configurations. Air conditioning units are sometimes residential-style window units that may not function adequately. The hotel comprises multiple buildings (including one named 'Dune'), and the condition of the rooms can differ between them. Designated smoking areas are available, but guests report that smoke and weed odours can permeate the hallways. The property overall is described as run-down and in need of upgrades, with some rooms having stained linens, ripped mattresses, and mould smell. Guests with asthma or respiratory sensitivities should be particularly cautious.

The hotel does not operate its own restaurant, breakfast service, or bar. Multiple dining options are located within 0.3 to 0.5 km, including Tena's, Gazebo Restaurant, Paradise Pancake & Omelet House, Famous Nathan's Hotdogs, Captain Crab Calabash Seafood, Plantation House of Pancakes, and IHOP. A vending machine for drinks and snacks is available on the property for quick items.

A pool is listed among the property's amenities, but recent reports indicate the pool was broken, had algae buildup, or was closed (one pool was shut down by DHEC). The hotel also provides an outdoor fireplace. Given the unreliable status of the pool, guests should not rely on swimming facilities being available during their stay. No gym, spa, or other leisure facilities are confirmed to be operational.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all areas, though guests report the connection may be unreliable or absent. Free private parking is available on site without reservation, but parking may be across the street and incorrect parking risks towing. The building has a lift (elevator), but some guests have noted the elevator floor felt unsafe. The front desk is not always staffed: between 11:00 and 17:00 the office may be unattended, making check-in or requesting supplies (towels, toilet paper) difficult. Luggage storage and laundry services are not confirmed. CCTV cameras are present in common areas and outside the property. An ATM/cash machine is on site. The hotel's management has been described as unresponsive, and the property is reportedly under renovation, with some areas possibly inaccessible.
