Checked out in around 15 mins after checking in. Room didn’t look as advertised very dark and dirty looked like it was falling apart. Blackmold and thick dust and dirt roaches as well. Suppose it definitely shows you get what you pay for. Luckily they were kind enough to refund the room no problem but caused an inconvenience anyway as I had to find a new booking and go to another hotel.

The Drift Hotel is one of the last few boutique hotels left on the strip in Fort Lauderdale for a decent price. They have everything you need and all within walking distance of the beach, shopping, and restaurants.

For the price it was a good deal! Room was simple. Would’ve appreciated a chair and desk in the room…, but everything was clean which matters to me more. Loved that it was a quick walk to the beach and dining. I’d stay here again for a quick affordable getaway.
