Location
Guest Reviews
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.
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.
Staff was fantastic and the hotel and rooms were really cleaned. We had a wonderful time there. Thank you!
Lovely design, modern and although the space was small, they did a really good job with design features that maximize the space for storage and places to put belongings. Great location if you want to be in the heart of State Street.
Didn’t love that there is no valet or Bell service for the price, however, the overnight parking in the public lot directly adjacent to the hotel ended up being some of the least expensive parking I’ve paid at a hotel. If you’re looking for absolute peace and serenity, this may not be the spot as there is pretty active nightlife right below the hotel so things really won’t quiet down until about 2 AM.

Lack of amenities, tissue boxes, towels, drinks
Excelente ubicación, buenisima atención me encantó el lugar y lo recomendaría 1000%
Don't stay here they make it seem like the photos of the hotel is what you will get but that is just if you pay for the penthouse house like 1,000$+ a night they use this main photos to get you they scam us and gave us the smallest "room" you could imagine. On the photos you can see next to the entry is the small shower and toilet, the bed is to right to the furniture that your feet will touch it. They do not refund you your money after you tell them if not what they advertise. Also there a bar and the hallway to the rooms is open to the public anybody can go on hallways! Horrible!
All about this hotel is a scam the images shown for the reservations are for a penthouse. I reserved a room for a night thinking that it was the one on the images since it was $500 a night. Instead when we open the door it was the smallest room, extremely low quality for the price that the bed is built in the wall with the furniture that your feet can touch it. also the shower and toilet are basically next to the entry since is so so small! Is outrageous how a hotel can sell this as 500$ a night, they now what they're doing. Do not book here they will also not refund you your money when you make the complain on is not what it shown. Booking will also not back you up and not give you the money. We talk to Darcy from front desk and we explain why we were not staying and she said she understand, you could tell on her face this is not the first time she's heard this.
Nothing
Noisy, dirty, tiny room, unstaffed.
Location was perfect. The staff at the drift was fantastic
Funky smell in the hallway
Trendy
The rooms are super small. I could not fit 1 large suitcase!! The bed is pushed against the wall so you need to jump over the other person if you need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night- the hotel puts sandalwood scent in the cleaning solution so the bedroom has a very strong odor which I was very sensitive to. I had a headache and could not sleep. Although the hotel said they were trying to do “everything they could” I checked out after 1 night and went somewhere else. Now trying to get my money back!! My recommendation- don’t book here there are too many other great hotels.
Personnel a la reception tres sympa
Chambre extremement petite
Chambre au Groud Floor a une fenetre au plafond qui donne un sentiment d'enfermement
Everything!
Location was convenient, room at the back was quiet
The room was incredibly tiny, you couldn’t even walk on the side of the bed to get into it. We had to crawl over the bed. There was nowhere to put any clothing away at all.
cool vibe, fun location, very clean and modern. comfortable room and bed, nice view and bar/coffee downstairs.
way overpriced for the size of the room. based on the photos I thought there would be a rooftop to hang out but I think those were only suites.
Beautifully designed rooms and hotel. Perfect location on State street. We were only there for a day to attend a wedding but would definitely return for another quick trip. The free bike rental was the best part!
Loud at night and uncomfortable pillows
The staff was very friendly and super helpful. We also loved that it was right in the mix on State st.
Wish there were like a water fountain or ice machine
