8/10 Very good

Good spot for a quick trip

We stayed at the Drift for one night before leaving on a cruise. The hotel is basic but did the job - beds were comfortable, A/C worked, bathroom functioned. Great location a block from the beach but surrounded by high rises. I would stay here again.
Nancy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great staff, room has mold in the light and bathroom but other than that was a great value for what it was for sure! Would return for a future trip for sure!

6/10 Good

Could be better

The rooms are clean and big. The hotel is in a very nice area. The room cleaning process make the hotel looks like they are remodeling, you see cleaning products on the outdoor tables, towels on the chairs and toilet brush on the rooms tables.
Rodolfo, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay. Very easy to get in and out and have access to the beach and restaurants. Would stay again 100%
deshante, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

I only stayed for one night, but location was great and walkable to the main restaurant areas. it was good for the price. very thin walls, i heard my upstairs neighbors walking and talking all night. probably wouldn't stay here more than a night or two but good budget hotel.

4/10 Fair

Less than okay!

This hotel used to be a lot better and cleaner. Besides floors and furniture being used up and outdated, there was constant smell of weed in the evening from guests sitting at the gathering area of the first floor inside the facility. This was my second and the last stay here. Not coming back here ever again.
Ilya, 12-night trip

8/10 Very good

very food for spring break
Brianna, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

For the price it was a good deal! Room was simple. Would’ve appreciated a chair and desk in the room…, but everything was clean which matters to me more. Loved that it was a quick walk to the beach and dining. I’d stay here again for a quick affordable getaway.
