ROYAL PALACE INN AND SUITES MYRTLE BEACH OCEAN BLVD, Myrtle Beach

The hotel sits right across the street from the ocean, offering direct beach access within a minute on foot. Myrtle Beach International Airport is about 10 minutes away by car (3 km). The Myrtle Beach Boardwalk is 3 km away, and Broadway at the Beach is 6 km from the property. A wide range of casual restaurants, including pancake houses, seafood spots, and pizzerias, are within a short walk (0.3-0.5 km). Parking is free and on-site, making car-based exploration easy, but the immediate area around the hotel has been described as having a rough edge, so caution after dark is advisable. The beachfront strip itself is lively, with pedestrian and vehicle traffic visible from the property.

The hotel offers family rooms and double rooms, all with private bathrooms, air conditioning, a tea and coffee maker, refrigerator, and flat-screen TV. Many rooms have balconies, some with pool views. Beds in standard rooms are full-sized rather than queen or king. Efficiency rooms include a kitchen with a stove. The property is older and has had some renovations, but the interior style remains dated; some rooms have carpeting that can hold odors. Room size varies-some are compact, while family suites offer two bedrooms and a kitchen area. Maintenance inconsistencies exist: some fridges may be unplugged or not cooling, and air conditioning units vary in effectiveness. Road- or light-facing rooms may experience more noise.

The property does not offer a continental breakfast or any on-site restaurant. A vending machine for drinks is available. For dining, several casual eateries are within a short walk: Loco Gecko (0.5 km), Breakfast at Tena's (0.5 km), and a cluster of restaurants including Paradise Pancake & Omelet House, Shoney's, and Captain D's Seafood Kitchen (0.5 km). This makes it easy to plan meals outside the hotel, but you'll need to budget for breakfast and dinner costs separately. Room fridges and microwaves allow for storing and reheating simple food.

The pool is a key leisure feature, open daily from 9 am to 9 pm and fenced for safety. Sun loungers and beach umbrellas are provided at no extra charge. The property also has a billiards table for indoor recreation. The pool area has a view and is popular with families, though its condition has seen some variability. The immediate beach access (across the street) provides the primary wellness and recreational draw of the location.

Free WiFi is accessible throughout the property. Free private on-site parking requires a reservation. A 24-hour front desk provides check-in/out, private check-in/out, and an ATM on site. Express check-in/out and fax/photocopying are available for an additional charge. The hotel offers luggage storage and is equipped with full-day security including CCTV and key card access. Accessibility features include accessible parking. No elevator is confirmed; ground-floor rooms may be available by request. Housekeeping is not automatically daily-towels and room cleaning are provided upon request. The hotel is not pet-friendly.
