The Drift Hotel

This hotel is very bare bones, not much in the way of amenities, decor, or creature comforts. Knowing we were only staying one night made it bearable, but for the price it was not quite up to par.

The hotel is a first floor motel off a side street to the main road. The room we were sold did not have a working lock. No other rooms were available and the staff wasn’t concerned. I give them a 1 star simply because they refunded us the money but we didn’t stay, went to a holiday inn instead.

There are only about eight parking spaces. The chances of getting one a very slim when we arrived at 3 PM there was four cars waiting for a parking spot. We ended up paying $50 to park our car overnight at the hotel next-door.

They should warn ppl of how noisy the priority gets during spring break it’s was super hard to sleep with so much noise and late night parties

There was 11 parking spaces for 22 units. Additional parking was over two blocks away if you couldn't find any street parking. There was no ice machine. The room smelled of a disinfectant, windows didn't open to get rid of smell.

My observations are based on a stay during spring break. I thought there might be a problem when reading a notice at reception warning guests about unruly behavior. This was prophetic as during the night it sounded as if WWIII had started. The room was spartan.

I have never left a negative review for a hotel before but I can’t not say something about my stay. When we got there, the first thing we see is a cockroach coming out of the chair in the room. The fridge has grunge on the front so I am not sure how much the room has been cleaned. There is no Kleenex in the room or cups so we had to save a cup from Starbucks instead. Later, I killed another cockroach in the bathroom and 2 flies. On another note, Wi-Fi was so spotty, I had trouble just doing a simple search. Lastly, when they “cleaned” the room, they left an empty water bottle on my side table. Why do you put garbage in the room when you are cleaning it? I had booked two nights and couldn’t cancel the second night so I had the worst sleep thinking that cockroaches were going to crawl on me as I slept. And one more weird thing, my TV randomly turned on in the middle of the night. I think another guest must have turned on their TV and ours turned on as well. So bizarre to wake up that way. Don’t stay here unless you absolutely have no other options.

Nice little place 1 block from beach construction going on across from building a big project but nothing they can sue about that .

The room itself was nice, lots of room. Location is very convenient. Construction is happening across the street, so the noise starts very early.
