Positive: The location is fabulous and very close to stores, the harbor and much more. We loved the decor and atmosphere. The area around the Drift felt safe. Most communication was with the Staff is via text and they responded very quickly. Bikes were available for free. The Staff was very nice and helpful.
Negative: I didn't love that you had to text a request for room service 24 hours in advance but the process was easy. The room was called the "Cozy Room" which it was extremely cozy. Not a lot of space for large suitcases and the bathroom sink is in the main room.
Summary: The Drift is in a fabulous, convenient location with beautiful décor, & responsive staff
