Christmas get together

Hi all,

We%26#39;re looking for a nice halfway point (NJ-FL) to meet my parents for Christmas. They like Myrtle Beach, and it does seem to be halfway.

Problems:

We have a dog, I also need to do some work while I%26#39;m there, so we have two requirements: pets must be allowed and there has to be some type of in-room internet access. Something suite-like would be nice for either my wife and I or my parents...

And something sub-$70 or so would be nice (or something priced more for someone looking to stay for 5+ days).

Condo/timeshares are OK as well if that works...

Personally I like newer places with nice new beds, somewhat modern furniture, etc.

I%26#39;m totally and completely unfamiliar with the area.

My folks normally stay at Dayton House and get a suite, they claim that%26#39;s around $50 (seems low, but I live near NYC, so anything sub $100 sounds cheap). Dayton House suggested Sea Mist for being pet-friendly, but there are some horrid reviews on that one here.

Looking for something geared towards adults, no kids on this trip.

Thanks!

One nice thing visiting MB at that time of year are the rates of our local properties! You can usually find OF resorts for under $70 per night!

There is a thread on this forum re: pet friendly hotels...it may be a ways back, but would be worth the search. A property that comes to mind instantly that does allow pets, internet access and offers smaller suites would be the Sheraton at the Convention Center...the only drawback is that it is not OF. You can see the ocean from some of the upper floors (ask for something above the 5th floor!). One nice thing is that it is centrally located, and the shuttle service they offer is awesome!

Another property would be the Mariner which is located in the Avenue area (north end of MB)....not for sure about the internet access, but there is a Starbucks less than a block away that does have access....this property is across the street from the beach.

Good luck....I agree with the decision on nixing Sea Mist until they TOTALLY complete their renovation!
