I will never have enough words to say how pleased I am with this motel. Driftwood has such pleasant and helpful people who work hard there. Both rooms (2 different times I’ve been there) were super clean, ice cold AC and mini-fridge, nice shower stalls with great water pressure coming from the overhead faucet. It’s right across the street from a mini golf and there are a couple local restaurants down the street in either direction. For me, I’d rather save money and bring food to grill ( 2 outdoor grills - the type like at campgrounds) or make sandwiches. The pool is super clean and fun to laze around in. Plenty of loungers and other chairs. Two stairways down to the beach (where dogs are allowed!). Oh, I also love how there isn’t carpeting! There’s a lot of sand that clings and comes back into the room with you. There’s usually a couple of brooms somewhere in case you want to sweep away some of the sand out. They don’t come in and make your bed, which, I totally appreciate the privacy. Every morning you can put out your dirty towels and garbage, later, they’ll bring more towels, garbage liners & toilet paper. I cannot enunciate how clean the rooms are and as well as the pool. If you’re looking for easy access to the beach, a warm & welcoming place that’s CLEAN… this is your place!!

This was the second time I stayed at Driftwood. This time I brought my husband and we stayed in a “King” ocean view room (C115) The bed was the perfect softness!! In the double ocean view (A102) the beds were firm. Nothing wrong with that, just not my thing. I came back because EVERYONE there was so friendly and very helpful. The rooms are very clean and you certainly cannot beat the great beach access (right onto the beach where puppy dogs are allowed). The pool they have there is clean and fun. There’s two small bbq grills (if you elect to go w/o a kitchenette), plenty of picnic tables and lounge chairs/chairs. Yes, the building is older and parking is interesting (at times), however, just the fact that it’s CLEAN and everyone is beyond friendly and helpful; that’s way up there in my book. I will continue to go back to Driftwood when I can. Plus, my Shih Tzus can come along with a lower pet fee policy.

It was nice to be able to walk right out to the beach and pool. The rooms needed more attention. When you rent a large room with ability for lg family the kitchen should have the basic necessities. No paper towels, no additional trash bags, toilet paper. There were not even enough towels for everyone. Parking was terrible.

Pure disappointment! There is no staff. Only someone at desk to check you in and that’s it. No house keeping. We were told to leave used towels on ground outside front door in the morning and they will leave new ones on ground in front of door later in the day. Our particular room was BEAT hard. Floors were sticky, walls were stained, bed had sand in it (at least we think it was sand). There was mold on the bathroom ceiling. The kitchen was a disgrace. They have apparently made repairs to the ceilings in a couple of rooms and failed to paint/finish the ceiling. Rooms were missing baseboards in spots. Kitchen table had a picnic table cloth on it and that was beat and ripped. Just a disappointment. Grass/lawn area had dog/pet feces. We tried looking into other properties once we arrived but most everything was sold out during our stay. When we booked we knew we were heading to a motel with 3.5 stars, but at over $1,000.00 for 3 nights we expected at least the 3.5 stars. If we could have found another place to stay that was a similar drive to the events we were attending we would have walked into this motel and walked right out. My wife has re-named the motel the “Dirty Dirty Driftwood”. Parking is a joke. At check in we were told that parking was difficult and to park on the street aside the mini-golf place and if we park elsewhere - towed! The only thing this motel has going for it is - open up the slider door (which lock mechanism is a sawn off broom stick) is the Ocean.
