Verified review

6/10 Good

Great location and price especially for spring break. Good option for a couple days if you'll be out and about, but the building itself is not in the best of condition.
Verified review

6/10 Good

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.
