The rooms were SO cute! 24/7 lounge access was so thoughtful and convenient, and the pool at night was so peaceful! Only stayed for one night, but wish we had booked for two. 10/10 :)

The Driftwood hotel exceeded our expectations. We were looking for an inexpensive hotel for the night and didn’t expect the little hotel to be as nice as it was. To start, the staff was awesome! We were able to meet the owner as well as the property manager. The rooms were all freshly remodeled and extremely clean. The bed was really comfortable, the room was well equipped and they even have a heated pool. We loved everything about the place. We will definitely stay at the Driftwood again in the future!

This is an old motel in the style popular in the 1950's and 1960's that has been completely remodeled and updated. The exterior of the building and the parking lot were beautiful and well-maintained. The recreational area in the center was completely updated. Everything is styled to give a retro-chic feel, and it works. The interior of my room was perfectly updated while keeping the original footprint. The floors appear to be LVP in a light wood grain that makes the room feel airy. The lighting in the room is updated and bright. Check-in was by text and room access was via pin code sent to me just prior to arrival.

The property and room appear recently remodeled and extremely clean. The room was basic but stylish and comfortable. We didn't use the pool but alot of kids seemed to be enjoying themselves. There is a nice little area outside the office with tables and chairs and a outdoor tv. One weird note, the doors have digital locks and do not automatically lock when you shut the door. We were in bed and a woman walked into our room thinking it was her room. I obviously thought the door was locked.

Older motel which has been completely updated. Very clean room. Pool area was excellent. Breakfast is a DIY. You have use of a kitchen where there are snacks, drinks, coffee and breakfast items. The young couple who run it are very nice and accommodating. Love the town too! Only a few miles from the beach.

I loved the whole retro vibe. It’s a renovated 1961 MOTEL, which means the rooms are not big. They’re small, but they’re clean and have what you need. There’s a community kitchen with 24 access to guest, stocked with free drinks, snacks, coffee, etc. All of the 60’s touches is so cute and you can hang in the salt pool listening to a little Sonny and Cher or CCR. The pool was beautiful and sparkling blue. We will definitely be going back.

Just an FYI, mattress are very firm. The hotel is very nostalgic and well kept. The attention to all of the small details (right down to the small fan in each room) is what set this hotel apart from others we have stayed in. This hotel really focuses on the guest having a great experience and it shows! We will definitely be returning!

Title: A Charming Stay at Driftwood Motel I recently had the pleasure of staying at Driftwood Motel, and I must say, it was a delightful experience! The accommodations are truly inviting, featuring a beautifully renovated retro style that adds a unique charm to the place. The attention to detail in the decor creates a warm and nostalgic atmosphere that made my stay feel extra special. One of the highlights of my stay was the excellent complimentary breakfast. There was a great variety of options, and everything was fresh and delicious. It was the perfect way to start each day of my visit. My only complaint would be the pillows. While everything else was fantastic, I found the pillows a bit lacking in comfort. A little upgrade in that department would make the experience even better. Overall, I highly recommend Driftwood Motel for anyone looking for a cozy and charming place to stay. I look forward to returning!
