    Noise from road but ear plugs and my sound machine work well. Beds hard but comfortable. Outside older hotel but rooms nicely updated including bathroom. Toilet area small for big person but bathtub was big!

    Room was remodeled and very clean! Staff very friendly ! The Queen suite was perfect with our dogs! Loved tiled floors instead of carpet! Great bathtub and sink was separate from tub toilet so nice for sharing

    Convenient location. Staff was helpful. Bathroom very clean. Nice chair in room. Good mid size refrigerator.

    First time renting the queen suite, and it's great for 3 people! The room could have been a little cleaner, vents filthy with dust!! There were no working plug-ins around the bed for the lamps, and / or spare plug-ins for phone chargers, etc. While looking for plug-ins, I noticed trash under the beds.

    Great location, stayed here many times!

    Strong cleaning products smell upon entering. Vented quickly through very quiet mini split air conditioner.

    Value was good. Room was very quiet. Furniture might be dated but more comfortable than mid range chain hotels.

    It was 106 degrees outside and ice machine broke... there is only 1 ice machine for entire property.

    The owners/proprietors are wonderful and very helpful. Room was updated, bed super comfortable, very clean room. It is non-smoking, room did not smell of smoke at all. Has coin-op laundry room.

    It's a shame that the restaurant is not open. It was very convenient but no longer available.

    I have stayed at The Drifter several times over the years. M room had been updated this time. The furniture is very old but the bathroom and floor have been retiled and new tub and fixtures.

    Parking was tight but it was a busy weekend due to music festival downtown.

    It was located a short drive from downtown area. Our room was nice, clean and comfy. I liked the Beekman 1802 products in shower.

    it was fine

    On first impressions the outside of the property looked a little tired but inside each room was well-equipped, clean, comfortable and quiet. The lady on check-in was very friendly and on my return we both recognised each other and stopped to catch-up. You don’t get that friendly touch everywhere.

    Coffee packs needed to be replaced-not major problem for us (I carry extra with me) but may irritate some people.

    When booking the room we requested a room with certain handicap accomodations, when we arrived we were told there was a option of two different rooms and they would show us the rooms available and we could choose the one that best fit our needs-that was more than accomodating. Building definetly not new but room was clean, bed/pillows were comfortable,the AC unit worked exceptionally well and the room was quiet.

    Parking people dont know how to park and trying to figure out how to turn on AC. Outlets need to be placed by head of beds not at foot.

    By family and no crazy load noise. Rain showerhead relaxing. Beds and pillows just put you to sleep

    The room was crowded. Not much to move around comfortably. Needs painting and perhaps mount TV on wall and an upright dresser for more room.

    The bed was very comfortable.
