I would best describe the Driftwood as a quaint hotel that is a bit tired. The room was also somewhat small. Nothing really bad but not especially modern. It was handy to have a restaurant attached.

Had trouble checking in. They claimed that we did not have a reservation and attempted to double charge us. I was glad that I had the records showing that I had paid. After about 40 minutes they found where I paid in full. I would never stay here again.

Entering the Inn required navigating the gauntlet of people smoking on the front stairs and more stairs to the room. Receptionist was inconvenienced by our arrival. The room was terrible - the floor wasn’t level with at least a 3 inch drop over six feet. This led me to question the structural integrity of our room. There wasn’t any easy seat, just an office chair. There was no where to put suitcases other than on the floor. There was substantial light leakage around the door (unlevel floor & walls I suspect). A 1.5 inch gap at the base of the door required stuffing a towel under it. The bed was a small double with a soft mattress. I feared rolling off the bed all night. The room did have a quiet air conditioning unit that we could control ourselves. Would I stay here again - absolutely not.

There was not clear signage on where to park. Also, there were people sitting on both sides of steps every time we went in and out. As seniors, we need support to hold onto the railings.
