Driftwood Resort

This hotel is very old and not well maintained. The room adjoins another room that is separated only by a thin wooden door. We could see the shadows of people walking in the next room and hear them as if they were standing in our room. There ocean view does not have a balcony so you could not open the curtains unless you wanted passersby to see in your room. I would expect to pay less than $100 for a room like this, however, it was nearly $250 per night.

The only saving grace of this place is the great service and the cozy bed. We don’t hang out in the room, so a cozy bed is really all we needed. The room looked dirty. Things were broken. Towels were stained. Coffee pot was dirty. Outside and next room noise were loud. We could hear the guy in the room next to us, peeing in the toilet. But, the bed was super cozy. When we needed service, the young man at the front desk was super nice and did everything he could to help. It also had an amazing view of the beach and a nice pool. This place has potential. It looks like they’re trying to make it work. Hopefully they get it together sooner than later. The price was cheap. You get what you pay for. We would probably stay again, just bring slippers.

I stayed at this hotel for the first time in 1980. I have stayed here every time I’m in the area! Tradition

If you’ve seen the movie ‘The Florida Project’ that’s what this is on a smaller scale. But the pool area is nice and the beach is out back

This is a lovely Motel directly on the beach with a pool plenty of chairs barbecue grill. The rooms are comfortable clean with a little refrigerator and a microwave. We had a lovely view of the parking lot LOL but we enjoyed our stay anyway. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is not looking for the freaking Hilton

I hate to write bad reviews. We did not have a good stay at the Driftwood Beach Motel in Daytona Beach. I decided to look for a place on *******. I have to say I will never look for a place on ******* again. It was very misleading. The good thing about our stay was the Driftwood accommodated our late arrival by leaving a note with directions on how to get our room key. We were able to get in to our room. The bad…the room had a strong smell of bleach. It was very thick and was almost unbearable to breathe. There were beard shavings around the bathroom sink faucet and on the frame of the bathroom mirror. Pet hair on the bed spread and sand in the bed. There were people banging on other room doors to get in. You could hear everything in every room around us. The bed was so uncomfortable we had to take pain meds for our back. The shower had black mold in the cracks. The room itself was just run down. It needed TLC and a real good clean. I would not recommend the Dritwood to anyone. Very disappointing. Just looking for the basics at least. If you’re thinking about staying at the Driftwood…do not do it! My review has been rejected for the third time now.

The positive: Nice ocean view; bed seemed newer, comfortable mattress, newer stainfree comfortable sheets. Smaller things that make a difference that were missing: Could've used a notepad, pen, clock, Kleenex, non-slip adhesive strips on a slippery tub. Also, please buy some wall-mounted door knob stops to prevent holes in the wall. Finally, don't turn off your sign at night! Alot of these are easy, inexpensive fixes that can be remedied with a trip to Costco/Walmart and Home Depot. If you can work on getting the little things correct, then you can focus on working on newer furniture in the room, paint, caulking and overall improvement to appearance. Guests can tell if you care or not. With so many choices on this part of the beach, I'd pick a different place to stay if I was coming down again.

Have stayed here a few times before…think new owners since last time I was here…very satisfied and employees extremely friendly

Decent place, no problems. Older hotel and price was jacked up due to being Daytona 500 weekend. Would consider staying here again if the price is right. We prefer staying on the beach so didn’t gawk too much about the higher rate
