Staying at the Driftwood Inn was an absolute delight for our anniversary. We loved the clean, comfortable rooms and the charming, nautical-themed lobby that feels like a step back in time. The beautiful ocean view from our room was breathtaking, and the proximity to Bishop's Beach for some exploration was a huge plus. The only downside was that we wished we could have stayed longer to enjoy everything the area had to offer.

My experience at the hotel was a mix of good and bad. While the room we stayed in was beautifully clean and offered stunning views, it was also quite small. The staff were accommodating and provided us with great advice on local attractions, but there were also some limitations regarding the kitchen facilities that made dining a bit challenging. Overall, I felt it was a good value for money considering the location and cleanliness.

The location in Old Town is perfect for strolling to Bishop's Beach or exploring the charming streets filled with shops and eateries. The room was cozy and clean, and while the amenities were fairly basic, they covered my needs well. I particularly appreciated the quiet and serene atmosphere. It was a fantastic getaway overall.
