My little family stayed here for our 9 month old’s first vacation. It was clean, the staff was precious, and the room was very large, easily big enough for a pack and play and a portable rocker. We love Murrell’s Inlet, but this was our first time at this lodge, and I’m pleased to say we would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Linda at front desk was so nice and helpful. The room was very clean and the kitchenette was well stocked. We stayed four nights so the full size refrigerator was nice. The room and en-suite were tastefully decorated and quite comfortable. The downside for us (but may not be for others) is that it’s actually too quiet. Although there was a courtyard with a nice outdoor bar and seating, it wasn’t in use. There weren’t many other people staying there while we were there possibly because of the overcast weather. I had hoped we’d be able to hang out with guests over a drink in the courtyard or pool. The attached but independent restaurant, Costas, was delicious and also tastefully decorated with friendly staff/servers. The lodge lobby is quiet and lovely but again no one was around so it was too quiet. The location is terrific to visit the Marsh Walk and to drive into Litchfield and Pawleys Island. I’d definitely stay again because it’s clean, decorated nicely, close to the Marsh Walk, and the friendly service.

Lovely property, quiet and clean. I enjoyed having the complimentary coffee in the morning. The bed was extremely comfortable. And it's a short walk to an excellent Italian restaurant (literally right next door). Would definitely stay there again.

What a great find! We have been coming to Myrtle Beach for 30+ yrs and were looking for a quiet overnight stay before we met up with family for our annual vaca. The last couple of places we’ve stayed were so noisy. Willow Lodge is a gem. It is very quiet, room was clean (I’m very picky about cleanliness), very nice courtyard for relaxing. The costa restaurant is right next door. Very convenient and the food was delicious. A little pricey but the food and service were excellent. I suggest you make a reservation. We enjoyed our stay so much, next year we are planning on staying a few days.

Dirty pool!!

Willow Lodge was nice older place to stay. The studio apartment was nice but the pool area was not! The pool ‘looked nice from a distance’ but needed to be cleaned and I didn’t use it.

AVOID THIS PLACE!!!! Room smelled horrible, the bed felt like it had been slept in, sheets were not crisp. The lobby is seedy, the pool is tiny. I can't understand how this place has received such high ratings.

We have stayed there twice in the past when it was inlet sports lodge. Now that it is Willow Lodge, it has not been upgraded in a while. The signage is still the old signs and it feels a bit neglected. It used to serve breakfast, but that is no longer available. The room door locks were difficult to work.The rooms used to be vibrant and tropical. Now all beige and poor quality brown bedspreads.

not much changed from Sports Inlet to Willow

It was ok. not much changed. this year we were on the bottom floor and the room smelled musty. We stayed only a day so it wasn’t bad. I wish the new management would change the annoying shower spouts. There are 4 jets that spray all over, and a shower head. it’s confusing and annoying to simply figure out how to take a normal shower. management did change the locks from keys to cyphers, which didn’t matter to us
