Pros:

I had such a GREAT experience staying in the Tiny Mermaid House! It was immaculate, inside and out! The bed was so comfortable, and it was such a beautiful view to wake-up to! I was travelling solo, and felt very safe at this location. I will definitely be staying here again!

Pros:

The Driftwood Inn is not for everyone, but offers real value and very comfortable accommodations. For most rooms the bathrooms are shared - given the modest number of rooms per floor, sharing was never inconvenient. The rooms are of modest size, so not a lot of space to spread out your belongings, but each room has a functional work table and chair (unlike many more expensive hotels). Each room is equipped with USB(A/B) ports, often combined with another appliance or multi-outlet adapter. In short, it has everything a traveler needs, and little superfluous amenities. Beware that the provided in-room coffee makers can be finicky (or just do not work) but the hotel provides free 24-hour coffee.

Pros:

This is a cute little Inn, right on the ocean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We got a room without a bathroom, 2 bathrooms shared by the whole floor, they were clean and we didn’t ever have to wait.

Pros:

The room was so tiny and cute I loved it! It had a sink which was nice. Shared bathroom which was fine. We really just used it for sleep and a little relaxation in the evening so it was perfect. Had a wonderful view of the water. There was a restaurant within walking distance, I mean, it was literally across the street! lol that was really nice. Staff was super friendly. Highly recommend.
Now if you want luxury, this is not for you. But if you want a cozy, cute, hometown experience this place is a must.

Pros:

The bed and room were very comfortable. This is right across the street from a nice steakhouse and a very cute coffee/ breakfast creperie. The Driftwood had lots of character. It was not at all what I expected but sometimes good things are like that. The people were so nice and helpful! They booked dinner reservations for me and a bird/ boating tour in Halibut Cove. I’d stay here again.

Pros:

Look at fine print. They have rooms with shared bathrooms. Didnt see this when booking. And the pictures on their page are not accurate to the room you get. But the staff was very pleasant.
