Located at 2400 N. Ocean Blvd., Dayton House Resort has been around since the 1960's. They offer a family-friendly atmosphere in Myrtle Beach right on the ocean. I don't work for the Dayton House Resort and did not mention that I have a travel blog when I made reservations or checked in to the hotel, so I feel that I received treatment just like any other guest in mid-July 2023. I found all the staff to be friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable.

At the front desk, Sierra was professional and pleasant, even when I had several questions and changed my reservation since a couple of people in my group were unable to come. I also checked out sandbags for playing corn hole at the front desk and found each person at the desk to be knowledgeable and welcoming.

If you vacation right on the ocean, keeping the rooms clean can be a significant challenge. People are often tracking in sand on their shoes and areas tend to get moldy easily with the combination of warm temperatures and high humidity. We found our room in the middle building to be very clean. The beds were comfortable and everything including the air conditioner, microwave, refrigerator, and plumbing, worked fine. Annie, the housekeeper, made a point of welcoming us to the hotel and offered tips for times to visit when the weather is particularly nice. She went the extra mile for us the entire time we stayed at the hotel and checked more than once to see if we needed anything.

Since we vacationed during a very hot part of the season, I began checking to see if my daughters wanted to do some indoor activities during our vacation, but they unanimously decided they wanted to simply enjoy the amenities at the hotel, so we stayed on site for our whole vacation.

Dayton House Resort offers a complimentary hot breakfast that was delicious and served with a smile. The staff is very conscientious as they work together to keep the indoor areas, grounds, and rooms looking nice. I saw several crew members meticulously lining up the deck chairs and straightening the lawn chairs with the umbrellas each morning.

My crew found the pools and hot tubs to be relaxing and refreshing. I particularly liked how some pool areas offered shade and indoor options. We had lots of fun playing corn hole one evening as well.

Those who enjoy the beach won't be disappointed staying on oceanfront property. We could walk right out onto the balcony and see and hear the ocean. Taking walks together on the beach offers a great opportunity to enjoy the simple pleasures in life together.

The Dayton House Resort has lots of yellow umbrellas on the lawn on the way to the beach, so it's easy to find the hotel after taking a walk along the shore.

I stayed at this hotel for the first time about 20 years ago and am delighted that it is still thriving and offering great service. They have added more buildings and items like the lazy river, but they have maintained a welcoming family atmosphere that can appeal to multiple generations. The resort actually had quite a few guests staying when we did, even though my photos tend not to have people in them.

Complimentary Breakfast at Dayton House Resort in Myrtle Beach - Hot Tasty Meal Served with a Smile

We visited Myrtle Beach in South Carolina in the middle of July 2023, a time when the ocean waters were beautiful and blue! A complimentary breakfast is offered with reservations for guests. We stayed two nights, so we had the opportunity to enjoy two free breakfast meals. Upon check-in guests are provided with armbands that permit entry to the breakfast and pools. I noticed they had some well-maintained pretty flowers growing around the Rose Room building as well as beach-themed artwork on the walls, which was a nice and colorful touch.

The free meal is served from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. daily at The Rose Room. If you are walking out of the lobby of the middle building, you can see the The Rose Room on the far side of the parking lot directly across the street. Signs at the hotel indicate that breakfast is least crowded during the first hour and most crowded during the last hour. We went after 9:30 one morning and shortly after 7:00 the next morning and found the signs to be pretty accurate. We found that they had plenty of food during both of our visits. I did not mention that I have a travel blog ahead of time, so we were getting the real deal without any special treatment.

Guests are invited to enter the building on the left side of the building and then turn to the right. We were greeted by Mrs. Hager, a delightful lady who asked our room number. She was quick to notice anyone who was not sure where to go by quickly offering information. Ashley, another staff member, would switch off with Mrs. Hager or bus tables whenever needed while we were there. At least one other person was bussing tables and I didn't catch his name or get his photo, but I did notice that he also did a great job with a smile.

After checking in, we were treated to a buffet with a nice variety of breakfast foods, such as fruit, granola, yogurt, eggs, sausage patties & links, grits, cheese grits, seasoned potatoes, biscuits & gravy, coffee, and juices. L.J. and Von were also quite welcoming and brought more of the same pleasant atmosphere as they served us our meals. Guests could choose to eat in the restaurant or take a carryout box. In addition to multiple tables inside, a picnic table is on the porch or guests may wish to eat at tables to the right of the middle building while listening to the sound of ocean waves or head back to enjoy air conditioned rooms.

I am guessing that Dayton House Resort serves several hundred meals each morning, but nobody had to wait in line more than a couple of minutes and the entire area was kept very clean. I was particularly impressed with the wonderful social atmosphere at The Rose Room. Being surrounded by welcoming, kind people while enjoying a tasty, hot meal is a great way to start one's day at the beach!
