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!

This was a very surprising stay. I did not expect much but I must say the staff is soooo nice and super accommodating. Specifically the guy that is there in the morning/day time at the front desk, he was sooo thoughtful. Also helpful when I needed anything (an iron, fresh water, late check out/early check in). Most of all the experience of being able to walk down the block and be at the beach was so nice. And to be walking distance from every type of food is so clutch. Honorable mentions, the guy that is at the desk at night is really nice too, and the cleaning ladies were sooo nice! Overall such a great experience.

The property was amazing, although I will say the ceiling was green in some spots and there was construction across the road. (Which isn’t their fault) over all it was lovely and close to the beach!

If I could give this hotel a zero I would. When we arrived at 8 pm there was no one in the office. We called the ph. no. and the recording said the office closed at 7 pm, yet we were standing in the office. About 15 minutes later, a woman arrived to check us in. There was a mildew odor in the room. The room was very humid as no ac was on. Once we turned on the ac, the room cooled down within 20 minutes. The bed was very hard and uncomfortable. The next morning, I used the shower but the glass door would not fully close so I showered with it open. The glass door was heavy and I feared if I closed it all the way it would not reopen. There was a handheld shower head which was challenging because it wouldn’t stay upright in the cradle so had to use it with one hand. The best part of my stay was the ac and leaving this property.

It was very disappointing. Doesn’t look at all like the pictures. Smell horrible. Remote was not working and there was a very dirty chair in the room that makes the room look poor. Good location.
