Fabulous location between the beach and the Intercoastal waterway. Casablanca restaurant was a block away and across from the beach, excellent! Perfect breakfasts. Lots of restaurants nearby. Walking distance to Las Olas. CVS drug store nearby. I felt safe walking there. The 1940s Hotel is not fancy. It is a hidden gem for people who care about location. There is a large outdoor sitting area with tables between the two buildings and lit up at night. We enjoyed meeting other guests there. Our large room on the ground floor was updated, beautiful and very clean. Marble bathroom. I would definitely stay there again.

It was close to the beach and restaurants
You could hear the person above you walking back and forth and there was construction across the street that woke you up early they're building a 28th story, building and they're just starting there is also people yelling in the middle of the night hotel needs to establish a quiet time

This cute little hotel is a diamond in the rough. Located half a block from the beach, on a quiet side-street. My room was small, but very clean. Nice simple decor. Ten to twenty minute walk to popular luxury hotels (Westin, Hilton, Four Seasons), and their restaurants, shops.
This did not affect me, since I arrived early, but there is a serious shortage of parking spots on-site. Approximately 8-10 spaces for 35 rooms. Some guests had to find parking garages, which were not clearly marked. Staff was unable to provide assistance to those seeking parking spots.

For the price you couldn't find a better room at the location it is in. Just a 2 minute walk to a beautiful beach and a 5 minute walk to CVS and numerous gift shops, resturants and bars. The rooms are clean and the staff is very friendly. I stayed here a few nights before my cruise and came back for an extra night before flying home. Love the Drift House. It is a wonderful small place amoug the giant motels surrounding it (next door and building one next door)
During the day construction is happening across the street. But I was rarely in the room during daylight hours. It was quiet in the evenings and during the night.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful courtyard for lounging and enjoying the evening nights. Rooms were spacious and clean. Check in process was smooth. Location is unbelievable. Just a short walk to the beach and all the night life. The bathroom was better than a Marriott, very modern. I would absolutely recommend this hotel and would most definitely stay here again.
My only gripes are lack of furniture in the room. It could use a lounging chair or a desk and a chair as there is nowhere to sit besides the bed. As for the bathroom my only issue was mold growth above the shower head (very common in humid south Florida). Not a deal breaker at all as overwhelming most molds are not inherently dangerous. Just needs a little bit better attention to detail when cleaning.

I was there for work, so the distance to the conference location was crucial. The price was good considering what was around. The people there were nice and helpful. The room was fairly clean and well taken care of. They provide water to drink, beach towels and sun protective filter (lotion)
I don't speak spanish which is clearly language number 1 in that hotel, but some did know english so it was ok. The walls are super thin, i would not sleep without ear stoppers, so you could hear things from the street etc. The stay in the hotel during the week was impossible due to a huge construction site across the street. The Wi-Fi was pretty bad.

Price for room in location was acceptable given the amenities. Location was great. Room could have been cleaner but was acceptable. The staff were very friendly although speaking spanish makes it easier! Parking it a little limited but the staff was very accomodating.
Wifi in room 7 was not the best but again the staff were accomodating in giving us access to their wifi. As a couple we only needed one bed but the room came with two - no complaints as it meant the room was larger and gave us a place to lay down clothes

The location is amazing! We had to find a last minute hotel after our flight got canceled and were very pleasantly surprised we found this gem! So clean and newly remodeled, perfect location, very staff. Only downsides were the lack of standard options like ice, breakfast, water as advertised, but extras that were wonderful such as beach chairs, body boards, beach towels, outdoor shower area for keeping sand our of your room. We will definitely return!
No ice, no breakfast, front desk girl was amazing, but gentleman made me feel like a bother as he was ALWAYS on the phone.

My room was immaculate. The bathroom was gorgeous. The adjustable bed was a delightful surprise for me.
My room had a lovely scent but.... it was too strong. The air conditioning wasn't needed when I checked in, but I wasn't able to figure out how to use the remote to turn it off. I finally reached an off switch way over my head. In order to get warm, I doubled up my sheet and blanket. If the front desk clerk had better English, I would have asked for assistance.

I loved how friendly and helpful the staff were! They provided me with a hair dryer for my stay. I love the beautiful design of the rooms. I love the beautiful courtyard with chairs to relax in and lights. The room was spacious and well-furnished, with a desk, stools, a closet, and a mini fridge. There is also a place to borrow a beach chair, towel, and umbrella which is very convenient.
The walls of the rooms are a bit thin, so we would hear our neighbors talking and the above neighbor was stomping around in shoes for quite a while in the evening.
