The location of this hotel is perfect!! It has the potential to be so much more than it offers -- I think the dirty and unorganized lobby and courtyard are unfortunate. Just cleaning this up would make a big difference. The rooms are fine!

Well what should I say… if need somewhere to lay your head while you stay this is the place. If you want an enjoyable, more of an actual hotel feel I would pick somewhere else. It gives more A class motel but C-hotel, in my honest opinion.

This property was disgusting. It was moldy and dirty and so terrible. I could not believe the amount of dust and dirt everywhere. Towel rack was ripped off the wall. The table outside our room had all the dirty cleaning supplies on it. The smell was so terrible in the rooms. Do not stay here.

Someone should check these rooms to see what works and what does not…like a flushable toilet! Rooms are pretty rough. Buyer beware on this one!

Disliked: Amenities
Pathetic WiFi, not working inside my room. Got good WiFi only in lobby, highly inconvenient. I paid good money $130 per night to stay here. Not a good value for my money. No breakfast. The lady in reception barely speaks English, very slow Checkin process. Not allowing guest to Checkin before 2pm. $100 refundable security deposit was demanded by receptionist in order to have keys to room. Hotel is in excellent location walkable to beautiful beach and plenty of bars and restaurants, this is the only positive thing about this hotel.

Budget friendly but thin walls. You hear everything from upstairs and around you. Trigger warning: you hear EVERYTHING. Obviously they can't control what other guests do in their rooms but its not an experience I ever want to experience again.

Had to change the original room they had me in because it smelled like moldy lead paint, and being on the first floor, finding the windows wouldn't lock was not going to happen. They kindly put me upstairs and the windows worked, but again, it smelled like moldy lead paint, I left the windows open to try to air it out. The courtyard had people early in the very morning chilling out speaking loudly and I had to ask staff to have them be quiet because they kept waking me up. There's construction on two high rises across the street and that woke me up a few days too, but obviously not the hotel's fault. It's a block from the beach I wanted to frequent, and that's why I chose Drift, but next time I'll spend a little more and stay at somewhere else. All the staff I encountered were very friendly.

This is my second time staying here and it was good. The staff was very nice. They allowed us to check in early, which was great! Since it was Thanksgiving, there was no construction noise from across the street from high rise condo’s that are being built. Room we had this time was a King suite, large shower was nice. No coffee in the room but the office has coffee available if you want it. Beach is right down the street, restaurants and shopping are all within walking distance. I would stay again!
