Great nights stay with only one personal observation… the bed was just a bit stiff, but we are comparing to our homes bed which is wicked fluffy. Folks may find our bed mattress to soft so all relative. Great redo of an old school motel, loved it. Thank You!

Retro-chic done well

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.

I have travelled around the USA and always look for a clean nice motel and usually when you get to a lower price point you start to compromise on quality and cleanliness. Not with this property. I was super impressed, the owner and the manager met me at the office and the manager got me setup into the room which was super simple using a code rather than a key. There is a common area and they offered free coffee and donuts with a fridge to put your things as needed. Was super convenient. The room was updated and very very very nice, everything new, bed, shower, shelves bathroom all clean and super new. I cant recommend this enough. There needs to be one of these in every town along the way. I would never stay anywhere else

Great find!

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!
