The first time I stayed there last year I didn’t have an issues. These last 3 days were absolutely terrible. No linen in the bathroom I went to the first desk he informed me someone would bring some to the room . Hours later I went to ask again and was told the owner stop supplying because people kept stealing the towels. There was sewage smell and no drinking water on the property.

This little hotel was a secret jewel years ago. I have sent friends to stay here several times. It had a B&B charm and the location is terrific, a block off the beach. Now it looks more like a no-tell hotel. The outside courtyard reeked of smoke. Check in was most confusing. I arrived 15 minutes after the lobby closed. I followed the directions for after-hours check-in. The lobby door was open with reservation receipts spread on the desk. I had to go behind the desk to figure out how to check in. I called a phone number there, but it was a contract AC guy. I clicked the mouse and checked myself in on the computer on the desk, where I could have accessed everyone’s information. I took one of several plain white key cards. It was odd like being pranked. The King Suite had a bed and night stands. It was sparse to put it nicely. There was a console table and another storage table. The only seating was the bed. One lamp had no bulb and there were no washcloths. The wires from the wall mounted TV were hanging from underneath it along with the dangling cable box. The refrigerator had a giant rusted out spot on the front. The worst things were 1. There was absolutely no HOT WATER, and 2. There was this loud generator sounding motor going all night which was most annoying. The bed was excellent, very comfortable. The air conditioner worked great as well. We made the best it, but I doubt I will be returning. I am sad and disappointed by the current condition of The Drift Hotel.

DO NOT BOOK HERE! We arrived to a lockbox on our door. once in the room we realized there was no way to lock our room door. Room was filthy! Bed was slept in, makeup on sheets, dirty floors, dirty bath towel. Sand in shower, dirty bathroom, AC did not work! There was no fire alarm just wires hanging out of the wall. We arrived late a night and there was nothing that could be done as staff was not available. We were forced to book another room and cancel this stay. I have made a formal complaint with EXPEDIA not response yet despite being told they would respond that day.

When I booked this the pictures and location made it seem like this was a perfect choice! The location, perfect. The room and property are very misleading from the add on Orbitz.

Pros: Location!! Parking is free, but very TIGHT. There were times you couldn’t walk between cars. (But they made it work!) They even had to park cars in the walkway to the court yard, so people had a place to park, which I commend them on. However, if you sat in the courtyard you’d be sitting next to a car and getting around them was tough. The staff was very nice, I’ll say that. The bathroom was clean and the fridge was great for storing drinks and food.

Cons: the property is no where near as nice as the photos! You could hear everyone around you in your room, we had loud neighbors at night that were up to 4am. You can hear people and the tv through the walls and if you’re downstairs, forget it, you can hear everything in the unit upstairs too. We were trapped on the first floor between units so we heard everyone around us all night. Our unit overall was okay, but the flooring was separating in places so you could see the sub flooring in spots. The Internet was awful. You had to be in the courtyard for it to work. Even our tv couldn’t get internet service most of the time, so no tv for us! No phone, no tv. If you needed to use the microwave it was in the office, if no one was there, no microwave for you! Same with coffee maker.

Overall it was “okay”. Sleeping at times was a challenge.

I selected the Reserve Now, Pay at Property option, yet the hotel repeatedly tried charging my card on the day of arrival. When the charges failed, they canceled my reservation while I was in the air. I called several times, and even customer service couldn’t reach anyone. Thankfully, they honored the reservation when we arrived. The location is excellent, with the beach, restaurants, and bars all within walking distance. Unfortunately, the room was overwhelmingly musty, the bed was hard, and the property felt neglected with rust and stains. I’d stay elsewhere next time.

The building is very cute, unfortunately our room has not been kept up well. Needing paint and quite a bit of water damage in the bathroom. We actually bought cleaning products to clean floors and the shower/bathroom. The sink was severely clogged which I had a plunger and was able to clear the drain ourselves. Yes we could have called maintenance and house keeping. What can say that would be inconvenience then the hr or so and few bucks to take care of ourselves. It’s great location and inexpensive. Keep

We were looking for an affordable place to stay within walking distance of the beach, restaurants, and shops, and Drift Hotel was a great fit for our needs. The location was definitely the highlight—we were able to easily walk to everything we wanted to do.

The hotel itself was simple but comfortable and worked well for a short stay. One thing to note is that parking is very limited. Vehicles park in the courtyard area, which made unloading and loading luggage a little more challenging than expected.

Overall, this was a good budget-friendly option in a convenient location. If you're looking for an affordable place close to the beach and attractions, Drift Hotel is worth considering.

I stay here very frequently with my last stay being in March and the hotel is beginning to go downhill. I arrived Sat night 6/6 to a dirty room with mold in the sink (room 17b) and no parking available at all other than the original option to pay $57 to park overnight next door at a different hotel. The employee in the office was helpful enough to give me kids parking spot even he left and change me into a new and clean room on Sunday morning.

This location is very good and I enjoyed walking threw the Local area A few negatives is that it was a holiday weekend and Parking no guaranteed on site so I kept my car there for 5 days and there is a courtyard but it was full of cars. I would just suggest to get a second floor unit because it seemed like there were families moving in above and sleeping was difficult. But the room was clean but empty of furniture In other words there was and there was a TV stand and two Bar stools and that's it and I was having back problems so I had no place to really sit for 4 nights. But the location is very good a nice restaurant like A football yard a way NA Starbucks Quarter Mile. All in all I would suggest this place Just don't get a bottom floor rm 4

I chose this property for location to beach and airport and free parking. I was disappointed that its fairly run down. Could be cute in the courtyard but empty pop bottles and paint buckets and rollers were strew about making it look cheap and run down. They had 2 towels and a hand towel in the bathroom only. I asked for facecloths (washcloths) and they said they don't have them. What are you supposed to wash with? Also the room was bare bones. I had a corner room and it could have been really cute but was void of any decor. It wasn't well maintained - dirty and scuffed up walls. The bathroom had hair from the previous person still in the shower as well. The beds were hard as rocks. If you just need a night, it will do but not for any longer than that.

Ok..so..I do not ever leave reviews..good or bad..however..I was motivated to do so this time. Umm... 1st of all... it was the tiniest room I'd ever seen.... it looks like they divided one room to make two 🤔 .. also... the room did not have a closet.... yes..you heard me..no closet! Furthermore.. it had no: microwave, coffee maker, hair dryer, nor even an iron! Secondly... the floor was \"FILTHY\" ... it looked as if it had NOT been mopped in weeks! Thirdly... we were visited by a rather large spider one night that I had to chase around the room and kill or my wife would have made me rent at another hotel. The parking situation was not good.... yes..parking was free... but not guaranteed... i left one night for 45 minutes and when I returned I had no parking spot... thank God the night manager moved a few cars so I could end up parking inside the patio with 2 cars blocking me in... but props to David still and all... which leads me to giving thanks to the managers who were great! Equally as great was the motel's location... within a short walking distance to everything!

The pics were deceiving. The room looked very old and the bed was broken. The mattress was extremely hard. In the bathroom, the bathroom was extremely small with toput anything for toiletries. There was only enough room for hand soap. The 2nd floor did not have an elevator so you had to bring your luggage up the stairs with no hand with no hand rail. The office closes at 7 local time. So if you come in any time after that, you have to figure out how to get into your room with a keypad. But the bed was obvioualy broken and they aloud guests to sleep in a broken caved in bed. I would say the only plus to this place is it's next to a beach. I won't be staying there again. I wish I stayed at the bigger hotel across the street.

Good for the cost. Would I have chosen this space again in the future, no, but it is a very affordable place as a home base in DTFL, but don't expect anything luxurious. Bathroom had a big whole in the ceiling above the shower head and was rusted and pretty rough, like it has been that way for a while. Shower curtain smelled like it hasn't been cleaned in a while. A lot of cigarette smokers in the outside hang out area, pretty gross and literally made me walk faster past them and didn't make me want to hang out there at all. If you're looking for a place close to the beach , this is it, but don't expect any of the amenities all of the other hotels around have. It's a place to rest your head, that's about it.

I usually do not leave negative reviews, but unfortunately my experience at this hotel was very disappointing.

From the moment we entered the room, it did not feel clean or comfortable. The shower was dirty, the walls and baseboards were dirty, and there was visible dust on the windows and nightstand. The mini fridge was especially concerning because it had mold and was clearly not cleaned properly. Some of the closet areas also seemed damaged or broken.

There was also trash left outside another room, which made the overall environment feel neglected. Although the hotel is located in a tourist area near the beach, the inside of the property felt very different from what I expected. It did not feel safe or well maintained.

What also concerned me was the check-in process. I arrived, gave my name, and was handed a room key without being asked for proper identification or any additional information. That made me feel uneasy about the security of the hotel.

Shower was either scolding or hot with no pressure. Tv didn’t work and had wires hanging all over the place. Parking is insane, no guaranteed parking and cars are literally parked into the property grounds, like into the court yard where it’s meant for people to walk. There is little to no security with drunks staying at the property screaming and partying into the night setting off smoke alarms. There were dirty floor mats hanging everywhere on the stairwells, and the grip tape on stairs is peeled up everywhere but still there causing a tripping hazard. Various trash all over like empty hot sauce bottles and batteries on the stairs. The ac units are impossible to work correctly. Not much good to say about this place except for location, but for $300 night it’s a complete scam.

price was fair. close to beach and not a far walk from nightlife. room was clean (however, smelled of bleach). Bed was real firm. Construction was being done on the hotel. The big issue, FREE PARKING was advertised, however, appeared they don't have a spot for every room. Arrived at checkin time and no spots. After an hour, mgmt found a spot but was not big enough for a standard size pickup. Pictures appear old, as this place no longer looks this nice.

The Drift Hotel is an absolute gem when it comes to location—you really can’t beat it. Everything you’d want to see or do is just a short walk away, which made the stay incredibly convenient and enjoyable.

The rooms themselves were decent—nothing overly fancy, but cozy and clean enough to feel comfortable. There was a noticeable chlorine smell that was a bit strong at times, and the room could definitely use some updates or minor improvements. Still, it had a welcoming feel that made it easy to settle in.

The grounds were very well maintained, which added to the overall charm of the property. One standout feature was how incredibly easy the check-in and check-out process was—quick, smooth, and hassle-free.

Parking was a bit of a downside, as space is limited, so that’s something to keep in mind if you’re driving.

Overall, if you’re looking for a place with an unbeatable location at a great price, The Drift Hotel is a fantastic choice. It may not be perfect, but it’s absolutely worth it for the value and convenience.
