I had a great experience at Forest Dunes. The location was so convenient for North Myrtle Beach activities, and I enjoyed the clean and comfortable room with an amazing ocean view. The staff was always helpful, making my stay pleasant. On the downside, the facility could benefit from having more amenities, especially electric vehicle chargers, and I was a bit disappointed by the lack of snack options and an ice machine.

Our stay at Forest Dunes was filled with ups and downs. The views from the ninth floor were absolutely stunning, and the location couldn't be better—right on the beach and near many attractions. However, the room we stayed in needed a good cleaning and some attention to minor issues, making it less than comfortable. The service was mostly helpful, but some aspects could use improvement.
