10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
My daughter and I loved this choice for a hotel. We didn’t know anything about it but the price fit what we were looking for in the area we were hoping for. The reviews we read are all accurate to our experience. It was the ideal location and the room we had was quiet. The space was small but super functional and fit two of us perfectly. The cafe downstairs is a delight and you get a free coffee daily. We will definitely be back and we’re so sad to leave!

8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2026
The location of The Drift is perfect. Everything is very walkable make it super convenient.
One item to note, the rooms are VERY SMALL. Well decorated but unless you are getting a larger room they really aren't meant for 2 people.
I will say the staff are AMAZING, from great communication prior to going and during the stay, everyone was great!!
Definitely would recommend this hotel as it wasn't a bad stay, just was thrown off by the room size for the price.
