Hurl Rock Motel, 2010 Ocean Boulevard: 26 October 2017 (Temporary?) 1 comment
I noticed this article in The Sun News while I was last at the beach:
The Hurl Rock Motel has been temporarily closed by the City of Myrtle Beach for elevator repairs and other safety issues.
Two notices taped to the front window of the motel at 2010 South Ocean Boulevard also said there was “no standpipe,” -- the pipe to which fire hoses are connected.
So I thought I would get some pictures, especially since there have been several legacy hotel demolitions in Myrtle Beach that I have missed. I've never stayed at the Hurl Rock, but I have fond associations with the name because a) It's a neat name & b) There used to be a Hurl Rock ocean-front putt-putt course further north on Ocean Boulevard (if I recall correctly, it's been gone for decades) where we played a time or two, and of which I have fond memories.
This particular building is not as old or quirky as some of the other vintage motels, but it does have one unexpected feature -- an overflow parking lot across the street behind the main building with its own anchor building, which appears to be an old house, and probably serves as some sort of office or maintenance shed. I do hope they get their issues resolved, but the article mentions that they have been rather longstanding, so we will see..

Honestly, I'm quite happy they're finally dealing with the elevator issue, I've been going to this motel off and on since I was 12 years old (I'm now 31) and they've had the same elevator since I started going there.
So it's desperately needed some fixing in that maintenance department. Glad to see it's getting fixed, hopefully, they'll be around for a long time to come. I know about 5 years ago, they updated pretty much all of their rooms, so the rooms themselves shouldn't be an issue.
