The 400-room Sheraton is located in Downtown Myrtle Beach, attached to the convention center and close to the airport and great shopping. The rooms are comfortable, especially by Myrtle Beach standards, with high-quality bedding and microwaves (if generic decor) and the large fitness center has modern machines and a yoga/Pilates area. This property caters mostly to business travelers with its many business-friendly amenities, but some are disgruntled by the lack of Wi-Fi in the rooms (it is only available in public spaces).

Typically used by business travelers (or those who missed their flights), the 112-room Hilton Garden Inn is all about convenience, with a business center, a 24-hour mini-mart, a small fitness center, laundry facilities, and a location close to the airport. The room decor is fairly generic, but the plaid curtains and white comforters lend a homey, clean feel, and the microwaves, mini-fridges, and large flat-screen TVs are nice additions. Families vacationing in Myrtle Beach may prefer to stay in an oceanfront hotel, but this property does feature a small indoor pool and tiny outdoor pool with adjacent Jacuzzi.
