“HORRIBLE is AN UNDERSTATEMENT”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2011

people found this review helpful

My husband was in charge of making the hotel arrangements for his birthday and he booked this hotel. Anticipating being able to play Golf in a Resort-type venue, I cannot even begin to articulate such my utter disappointment. I did not want to ruin my husband's birthdday therefore, I tried hard not to complain; The building is old and run down and should be closed so the city of SC can begin demolition. When My husband handed me an actual door key (vs electronic key card), I was worried. I asked the attendant at the front desk, where are the safe deposit boxes? and she said, they are located at the front desk; therefore, I replied, "so everytime I need to lock my items, I have to come down three flights of stairs to secure them and unsecure them when needed." Really??? Then I told her that the refrigerator was broken and she asked, "is it turned on?" OMG! She said that you have to turn it on; I replied "in most reasonable hotels it is already on, especially when you are expecting me!" Again, not wanting to disappoint my husband, I bit my tongue, really hard. There was no infestation, or I would have been out of there, birthday or not! and we had a nice view but the hotel was so deplorable that we hardly stayed in the room. The button above ask for an overall rating and I give it a "0" with no hesitation!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“We did't like it and will never go back”

The rooms were filthy and falling apart, with no attempt to fix them. We reported the bathroom vent and heat lamp out, and was told they are out in half the rooms, with a smile. My daughter could open the door to the room or the sliding patio door because they were stuck or handle were broken. The only thing that didn’t suck was the staffs vacuum. I would make this my last choice or just not travel

“We loved it and we will be back!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 July 2011

Our room was very clean, they even put brand new bedspreads on all the rooms while we were there. It is close to everything, the pier, the Skywheel, restaurants. Lots of stuff to do in walking distance. We have stayed there twice this year and loved it. The staff is very friendly and the pool is wonderful. It is an older lodge but in good shape with a great price. Most of the people we talked to said they come back every year.

“Def. will be back!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 July 2011

My husband and I stayed at the driftwood for two year anniversary. I was suprised at how nice the hotel was for the price.

The hotel is on the beach and the room we chose had an "ocean view" which meant we have to look out the window and to the right to see the ocean. It was a very nice view.

The only complaint I had was the building we were staying in did not have an elevator. It was only 3 stories tall so it wasnt a major deal.

There is parking at the hotel and additional parking across the street.

There are 2 pools (one is heated).

The location of the hotel is on a main strip where there is plenty of activities within walking distance.
