Rooms were very smoky smelling, no non smoking rooms.Wifi never worked, staff kept rebooting but sill would not work. We even sat in lobby next to wifi and could not use. Lights in kitchen and bath room rarely worked and no one camed to fix them.

Very noisey, right by where people came in from beach, water running alot where they washed off, kids yelling even after 10 pm. Ice machine right next to room was always empty and making rining noises. Room was very old and dated. Windows outside room were broken and cracked.

No staff overnight. Had to leave keys in room and then left a note in mailbox when checking out.

You have to pay one might upon reserving room and all other nights upfront when you check in.

Housekeeping staff was the best thing there.

Room tip: Dont get anything on bottom floor or near 106.

We visit the diplomat every time we come to Myrtle Beach. The owner and staff are super friendly and will do anything to accommodate you. It is not a five star hotel with fancy things like the high dollar resorts, but it is CLEAN and feels like home. I'd much rather be here than anyone else. They don't rent to misfits or trouble makers which makes it great for my kids which is a big plus for us!

This was the most horrible experience I have ever had at a motel.

1. There was a roach in the refrigerator upon arrival
2. The room smelled rancid
3. Outdated doesn't even begin to explain this place, the room key was a standard key with a metal key tag dangling from it, the bathroom fixtures were rusty, and the pepto pink tile in the bathroom was atrocious.
4. There was what appeared to be red blood stains on the mattress cover
5. The bedskirt had what appeared to be feces smeared on it.
6. The air conditioner was dilapidated and not working
7. The bathroom ceiling fell in
8. The room next to us was broken into
9. There was no staff in the office to help us for at least four hours that we are aware of.
10. We called all the emergency numbers posted with no success after MULTIPLE attempts, finally after an hour of trying we reached a woman who was not on the property.
11. When the female manager arrived to check out the room after waiting for nearly 3 hours, she did not seem surprised when we discussed the roach with her or the cleanliness of the room. When she looked at the ceiling she said that happens a lot. Her simple response to all the issues was "Well do you want to go stay somewhere else, I'll refund your money for tonight." We agreed upon the refund, she scoffed, stormed out of our room and slammed the door extremely hard. I tried to give the benefit of the doubt, but I would have much rather stayed overnight in my car than at the Diplomat.

I have never felt uncomfortable in any motel the way I did at The Diplomat. I felt disgusted, unsafe, and I will NEVER stay there again, and I would strongly urge EVERYONE to stay anywhere but the Diplomat. .

Room tip: Do not stay in any room at the Diplomat!

Checked out several motels near the Boardwalk and the Diplomat was the closest and most reasonably priced. Rooms a little dated but clean and great balcony overlooking the ocean. My room overlooks the walking path on the boardwalk and several restaurants are 2 minutes away. Second time here and will come back again as pre - Memorial Day prices are very cheap in Myrtle Beach
