The Drift Hotel - Hotel in Fort Lauderdale - 3005 Alhambra St, USA

The good:|- Location is great with just a 2-minute walk to the beach. |- There’s free parking. |- Good water pressure in the shower.||The bad:|-Dirty. There are clumps of dust/hair behind the mattress. The walls aren’t clean. |- The mattress is genuinely the worst and hardest mattress that I’ve ever slept on.|- The chemical, insecticide (?) smell in the room made me feel sick to my stomach. |- WiFi doesn’t work inside the rooms. |- Nowhere to sit in the room other than the rock hard mattress. ||The bad definitely outweighs the good. |Not recommended.

Cute boutique hotel within walking distance of the beach and restaurants. The staff is pleasant and helpful, and the room was clean. Very good value for a hotel so close to the beach. There are basic amenities missing, such as a hair dryer in the room or coffee maker in the room but I was able to use the internet, and the TV has access to many channels. There is coffee and water accessible in the office. The air conditioning in the room worked great, kept the room very nicely cool, and the water pressure in the bathroom is fantastic. The room I had also had a little work desk. The only downside was the loud construction next door.

The room was nice and well appointed. The location is fantastic. The wifi didn’t work and they were difficult about parking two cars there but it all worked out. For the price, this is an excellent choice for a hotel within walking distance of the beach.

Excellent location near the beach; our room (number 2) was recently renovated, including the bathroom yet somewhat poorly soundproofed, which is ordinarily not a big deal - but challenging during the "spring break". Although management dealt with noise issues witnessing the violators via their numerous security cameras. The hotel has a historical character, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. In their price range, this hotel remains an exceptional deal for most. In light of the foregoing, we do recommend this hotel just beware if you're a very light sleeper - which we're not!

Sorry for the late review but loved a lot about this little spot.We stayed the second week of November. Wow. No crowds and pricing was GREAT. Literally a 2 minute walk to Sebastian Beach!!!! The housekeeping staff worked all day and were more than happy to tidy up the room later in the day. Always asking if we needed anything. The front desk opens at 8a-ish and there are Keurig single machines. Do not buy sun tan lotion. They have TONS because you can't fly with anything anymore! Grab those beach chairs and a bamboo mat early. Beach towels are also at the front desk area. Wonderful. Coming back in November again!!

A group of friends and I came here to celebrate a birthday. This hotel is very basic if you just need somewhere to lay your head at night near the beach, this is it. Rooms- I was glad I brought my cleaning supplies, it wasn't cleaned well which I didn't understand there were probably only 20 rooms, and very dusty. The second day we stopped by the front desk to ask if the room could be cleaned and to bring towels/tp, we were gone ALL day and came back in the evening and the room had not been touched, it was like that with all 4 of our rooms each day. Wifi does not work well, you can barely watch the TV provided because it keeps freezing due to bad wifi. The "beach supplies" they offer were broken, we carried an umbrella down to the beach just to open it and it was broken we had to end up paying for an umbrella on the beach. We told the lady at the desk it was broken when we came back in English and Spanish. She didn't care and said just to put it back. The chairs worked, just rusty. Parking- Don't bring a car there are only about 8 parking spots and at night good luck finding a spot at the hotel or even around the hotel there is none, we had to drive around in circles for 30mins and luckily someone left. Location- This is what keeps it up and running because it's within walking distance of the beach and other stores and restaurants so that is where most of my stars come from. Excellent location.

Let me start off by no means am I bougie when it comes to hotels/motels. 1 look at he reviews 2 location and 3 price. Basically the biggest bang for my buck. Would I stay here again absolutely not. Location was perfect...block from the beach, walking distance to everything. Service was good. Only problem I experienced was a group was right outside my door and would not shut up at 1030pm. Called to the front desk asked him to handle it. 10 minutes later he hadn't so I came out of the room and told them myself with a few choice words and that's when the guy came flying out of the office (must have seen me on the camera). So why would I cont stay here again? Roaches and noise. Its Florida I get it..1 here or there outside. Oh no. Morning you flip on the light about 5 we're running. Had clothes sitting on the little table area (theywere on little table area so I didn't have to dig them out of my bag that morning)... Roaches on them. Day 2 I'm cautious as heck now. Order door dash set the food on a towel on the table, go to the fridge to get a drink...and a roach is crawling across the towel. Kill it and as I move pick up my food, another one was already on the wapper. We had 2 hours before check out and we booked it then. Left our bags in the office to run to cvs before calling our ride. When we returned was putting items in our bag and there were roach bomb containers in the trashcan as well as little bugs all over the counters. Noise. We were on the ground level. night 1 was OK. 2nd night we were up till 3am because of the noise coming from the upstairs. There is zero sound proofing from upstairs or outside. Oh not to mention the wifi is horid but the tv worked. So 100% beware if you choose to stay there or atleast if you get room 104 because your going to have friends in your room!

This is the classic definition of you get what you pay for this room was only $100 per the night and it is in a great location half a block from the beach and a restaurant on the corner where you can get breakfast, lunch and dinner and they had a coffee shop around the corner I thought it was a great value unfortunately the room had cockroaches in it. when I told front desk they told me that the Exterminator was in the property and I told him to make sure he get that room as there was a couple of them inside due to me just staying one night I didn't ask for anything else from them. I unfortunately won't stay here again.
