Budget Inn Myrtle Beach is a budget-category motel at 5400 North Ocean Boulevard in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, positioned within one block of Atlantic Ocean beach access on the northern portion of the Grand Strand. The property is designed for cost-conscious travelers who prioritize beach proximity over full resort amenities: rates are among the lowest for direct-beachfront-adjacent accommodations in the Myrtle Beach area, and the no-frills approach suits visitors spending most of their time on the beach rather than in the hotel. Standard rooms and double rooms offer basic sleeping accommodations with flat-screen televisions and in-room mini-refrigerators; efficiency suites add a small kitchenette for self-catered stays, which can meaningfully reduce overall trip costs. An outdoor pool is available at no additional charge, and surface parking is free and ample. The North Ocean Boulevard address in the northern part of Myrtle Beach provides access to beach without the parking congestion of the more intensely developed central strip. Barefoot Landing shopping and entertainment complex is approximately 5 miles north; Broadway at the Beach entertainment complex is approximately 10 miles south. The location suits travelers whose primary purpose is beach time and who prefer to manage food costs through the efficiency suite kitchenette or the numerous moderately priced restaurants on nearby Kings Highway.
