My wife and I have been coming to the Driftwood for years and we love the place. The beach is spectacular and the hotel staff is great. If you like big fancy resorts with swim up bars, this is not for you. But, if you like a great beach, a comfortable hotel, and nearby casual to elegant dining, you will... more

My family of 5(children ages 14,9,6) stayed at the Driftwood on the Ocean in January 2009 for 4 nights before we embarked on a 7 day cruise. We wanted a low key get away to wind down before a busy vacation. I had traveled to the area and found this quiet motel before I took my family there. The staff... more

We stayed 2/28/07-3/8/07 in room #24, a one bedroom with kitchenette that had a big picture window looking onto the ocean. The beach there is just beautiful, cleaned frequently. The water is clean and clear and there are lifeguards all day. The rooms are cleaned daily and clean linens provided. The grounds were well kept and the small heated swimming... more

We stayed at the Driftwood for one night before flying out of Ft. Lauderdale very early the next morning. The Driftwood is right on a beautiful beach a few blocks away from the Hollywood boardwalk. The ocean there is lovely, and there are lifeguards on the clean white beach. However, that is sadly the main positive thing I can say... more

I have stayed at the Driftwood by the Ocean a few times, this was the worst and last time I will stay. The rooms are extremely dirty. I was forced to purchase a can of RAID on the second day of my 5 day stay after finding a very large insect in our room, it was the only one I... more

My sister booked this place for a family reunion. This hotel has no bar, no restaurant, no fitness center, the pool is located in the midst of the parking lot and the building is poorly maintained. Security is non-existent. It is very expensive and not worth the money. During our stay we were subjected to a cigarette boat race just... more

We spent Easter weekend there. It is older but our room was clean and had everything we needed and the price was right. Upon request we were provided with iron and ironing board. I have read such bad reviews about it, but for the price I thought it was fine. When our shower head wasn't working properly they had it... more

We live in Hialeah, FL (Miami-Dade) and wanted to stay for a few days (3/29/07-4/01/07) on the beach with the kids (12, 13 & 16) for Spring Break. I searched the internet for Hotels/Apartments on the Hollywood Beach Boardwalk, but the prices were outrageous. I came upon The Driftwood, which was 8 blocks away from the Boardwalk and loved the... more

Since I see mixed reviews on this place, here's my experience: complete and total dump! Maybe they had better rooms somewhere, but my friend got one without AC. It was cool out, but her room was hot anyway, so she needed the AC. I couldn't get into my room because the key didn't work. It's nice that it's on the... more
