I had an amazing stay at Driftwood Motel! The rooms were spotless and spacious, and I loved being so close to the beach. The pool area was a highlight, and I enjoyed the delicious food from the snack bar. The only downside was the tight parking, but it was manageable. Overall, this place offers excellent value for money with its convenient amenities and beautiful views.

The hotel has a great beach location, making it easy to access the ocean and pool. However, the rooms were in rough shape, with cleanliness issues and outdated amenities. Parking was a headache, and the overall value for money felt lacking. On a plus side, the staff at the cafe were nice, and the beach was beautiful in the morning.

My stay at Driftwood Motel was quite disappointing, to say the least. While I booked my room four months in advance, I was informed upon arrival that my reservation had been mistakenly canceled, leaving me without accommodation for my family. The owner was incredibly rude about the situation. However, I did hear that the location is great for beach access, although I can't say much else was positive.

Rooms

Unfortunately, I couldn't stay in my reserved room due to the cancellation, but from what I gathered during my brief time there, some guests mentioned the standard of the rooms being average.

Service

The owner was incredibly rude and dismissive when addressing my concern about the canceled reservation. It was a frustrating experience, especially considering I had driven four hours with children.

The location seems to be appealing with easy access to the beach, but my experience left me unable to appreciate it fully.

We had a decent time at the hotel, enjoying the private beach and the cleanliness of the facilities. However, we faced several issues like a stale odor in the room and parking challenges. The service was pleasant, but the dining options were limited, especially since the snack bar was closed during our visit, which was quite disappointing.
