If you plan to use event/meeting services, banquet or wedding services, request a detailed estimate and payment schedule from the event team in writing so you know which charges will appear on your master bill.

If your confirmation shows parking or resort fee included
Some booking confirmations (especially direct Marriott Bonvoy bookings or special packages) may list self-parking or internet as included. If your confirmation states parking or the resort fee is included, bring a printed or electronic copy of the reservation and confirm at check-in to avoid duplicate charges.
Because third-party sites and Marriott pages sometimes disagree about which items are part of the resort fee, ask the front desk to itemize charges on your folio if anything looks unexpected when you check out.
- Keep reservation confirmation (PDF or screenshot) that lists inclusions.
- Ask the front desk to review the folio before you sign or provide final payment.
- If charged in error, request a correction before departure and get a copy of any adjusted folio.
| Action | Why |
|---|---|
| Show reservation confirmation at check-in | Proves which fees/inclusions were promised |
| Request detailed folio at checkout | Helps spot incorrect or duplicate charges |
| Contact BookResorts agents | If you booked through BookResorts, agents are available 24/7 at +1 (888) 605-1350 for help |
Alternative parking and transport options
If you prefer not to pay on-site parking rates or need longer-term parking, consider local public lots, rideshares, taxis from Myrtle Beach International Airport (about a 15–22 minute drive), or pre-arranged off-site parking—availability and pricing change seasonally.
The hotel does not provide an airport shuttle; taxis and rideshare services are commonly used to reach the resort from Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR). Confirm current rideshare or taxi fares and allow 14–22 minutes travel time depending on traffic.
- No hotel airport shuttle is offered; plan a taxi or rideshare from MYR (approx. 9.6–10 miles).
- Local public parking and private lots may offer different rates — check location and hours before leaving your car.
- For group events, discuss shuttle or valet arrangements with the events team in advance.
| Option | Notes |
|---|---|
| Taxi / rideshare | Common choice from MYR; travel time ~14–22 minutes |
| On-site parking | Self-parking or valet (daily surcharges commonly reported) |
| Off-site parking lots | Seasonal availability and rates; verify in advance |
