The outside looks really bad but the inside was nice and clean. It has a full kitchen with a stove, sink, fridge and microwave. Everything you need is there. Silverware, dishwashing rag, hand drying towel. They have 3 pools, a hot tub and its on the beach. The staff were really nice and security was doing a great job of making rounds. They also have board games and popcorn. Shopping stores across the street. Also, places to eat and drink across the street also.I was very satisfied.
The location and family feel of the Driftwood is superb. We felt safe and loved being able to walk out our door to the beach. Everyone was very nice and friendly.
This hotel is in the perfect location! Right on the beach and a short walk to Pier Park and restaurants. The room and grounds were clean and staff were friendly. Wouldn’t hesitate to book there again.
