No staff was on hand when I checked in at 3pm. The room key didn't work. The room had an odor to it.

when it was tine to depart
everything-you misrepresent this as place to stay-it was absolutely filthy - breakfast was a joke - the coffee was the only item that was safe to take-the room service was non existent -- my bed was never made - the room was never cleaned (cockroaches in abundance- the toilet was filthy from previous occupants - the water pressure was extremely low - need i go on?

Reviews about The Drift Hotel
“I felt safe and comfortable at The Drift. Perfect location as stores, restaurants and the beach are all within minutes as you step outside the premises. It is not like those other hotels with a brand name that have aged, old carpet, chipping paint, but carry a major hotel name and charge rates that certainly do not correlate to their product. I really enjoyed my stay at The Drift, it is modern, clean and complimented by a friendly staff. Thank you for your hospitality. I most certainly would return.”
“Location.”
“Great location and the staff members are incredibly nice and helpful”
“Very updated contemporary rooms. Furnishings were simple and functional. No extraneous wall art. The entire room was super neat & super clean! Could see the Atlantic Ocean out the east window. A 2 minute walk to the shoreline. Nice little restaurant next door with direct ocean views. Large flat screen with a myriad of channels. In room refrigerator. Floor lamp on dimmer switch. Attractive, quiet courtyard. Easy, keyless entry. Very nice staff. Super fast easy registration. Plenty of fresh towels, hot water, soaps, lotions, shampoo & conditioner. Spacious quiet room. A very nice little boutique hotel with very good pricing. A great value for the money. Most importantly, Clean, clean, clean!”
“It was close to the beach and it was very clean.”
