What happened after Hotel Impossible?

Carnival Inn in Myrtle Beach, SC, appeared on Hotel Impossible (Travel Channel) in the season-four episode "Making Waves," which aired 2014-05-05, when consultant Anthony Melchiorri worked with the independently owned property on service and renovation issues typical of the show's format.

The coordinates and address associated with Carnival Inn at the time of filming, 6900 N Ocean Blvd, Myrtle Beach, SC 29572, now match a Google Places listing for The Caravelle Resort, with a business status of operational. The Caravelle's website, checked 2026-09-09, returned current content, including oceanfront amenity pages covering on-site breakfast and a poolside bar, with no copyright year or dated material older than 2026 found on the pages reviewed.

No dated news article or public statement describing when or why the property at this address began operating as The Caravelle Resort rather than Carnival Inn was found in this review, so the exact date of the change in name is not established here. The current listing and website content confirm only that a hotel is presently operating at the same Myrtle Beach oceanfront address under the new name, with amenities including a poolside bar and on-site breakfast service.

Anyone able to document the specific date or circumstances of the change from Carnival Inn to The Caravelle Resort, including any change of ownership, would add the next dated fact to this record; none was found among the sources checked for this update.
