Drifter's Reef Hotel - Hotel in Carolina Beach - 701 N Lake Park Blvd, USA

There is a good restaurant next door, and you get 10% off your bill if you let them know. The water pressure was very low. So the shower was like s slow drip in our room.

Lady was very nice at front desk, the girls cleaning rooms do good job , place has fresh paint in rooms and outside...nice place other than parking. With the lazy pirate next door you have to fight for a parking spot and the city charges $25 and up for day parking every where you go .. All and all had a nice stay for few nights. It's call Pirates Cove now

perfect place for a night away with our dogs! Reservation process was easy, check in and checkout was smooth. Love that that have a fenced in pet area with waste bags. Our pups loved being able to stretch. Only issue was the ice machine was out of order BUT the restaurant next door was happy to help. We’ll be back 😀

I thought itvwas a decent clean place. The pet fee was almost equal to 2 nights stay. I thought that was high. But we have 2 small pocket dogs. This is a good place if you want ro stay up and party. I do not. It is loud all night. And I mean all night. If you sre looking foe a quite place to rest at night this is not it. I did not get hardly any sleep just checked out at 630am because of being up all night because of the upstairs TV being wide open all night. Called the front desk. Got nowhere. So got up packed and left. Want a good clean room decent price and don't care about noise this is your place.

The room wasn't terrible for what we paid, certainly not the best for the price, a very strange bed that is made of metal at the bottom and makes a loud noise if you hit it with your foot by accident. The staff was reasonably amenable. But the biggest problem I have with this place is the pet fee, they charged us double for having a dog with us! Over $50 without warning. I've never seen a pet fee so high. AND THEY DONT EVEN HAVE CARPETS IN THE ROOM LOL. Don't stay here, there are way better places that won't rip you off every chance they get.

Floors were FILTHY!!!!! It's a good location but that's all this dump has going for it! Our room NEEDED toilet paper emergency but at 8:30 am, the office was closed and I had to call and wait for someone to come get the toilet paper. NEVER, EVER EVER AGAIN!!!!!! My little doggy didn't even want to walk on the floor. They were that dusty and dirty! So far overpriced! Charges rates like a 5 star facility but only provides a bad Motel 6.

Unfortunately, we got duped on this place. It sounded like a fun and happening hotel. The ONLY saving grace was the restaurant/ bar in the same parking lot as the motel. The Lazy Pirate. They were excellent. Fun and great staff. Young and vibrant. The motel was not. Completely overpriced, not as advertised. The staff was nice, friendly enough and young. The rooms were like an old beach motel. Not very clean. There was a take out box in the drawers, with food in it. The comforter had a small blood stain. The sheets had black marker on the corners to mark what size the sheet was for the bed size. "D", "K" etc. The water in the shower sat for 3 minutes going on and off (pressure). I have a video of this because it was totally unbelievable, as we seemed to be 1 of only 2 guests to the whole motel. Had no hair dryer in room. One roll of toilet paper. 1 garbage with 2 bags. We got the "suite." Was not worth the money at all. It wouldn't have seemed as bad if it wasn't so overpriced. It is in a decent location. Close enough to boardwalk. And the restaurant is really a big plus. But I do not think the restaurant is affiliated with motel. The pool was almost right off the main road. Very disappointing. But it does have alot of potential. Appropriate prices would be one great way to make the stay less of a letdown. Overpriced by far.

Read a lot of bad reviews so me being me I wanted to come check it out for myself and it's better than what I've heard. It's very close to the beach and pet friendly. I will be coming back here. It's clean yet slightly outdated but for the price and location and the amenities you really can't beat it. I would recommend this place to my friends. All we and our pups need is a place to shower and sleep.
