Small, quaint hotel in the heart of art town. Many restaurants and shops are nearby. Parking was close, but no parking at all at the hotel or on its street. Very large, modern but rustic, nice clean rooms.

Location was amazing. We split our vacation in two - 3 nights here for a “city” experience following by 3 nights at a beach hotel. We had so much fun exploring the city. We booked the “ Baja Suite”. Highly recommend paying the little extra for this room. It was very private and roomy. Hotel itself was very relaxed and pretty. Room was cozy and the staff were lovely. There is a spa next door where we had an awesome massage. Would stay again.

Very intimate and beautiful location right in the center of El Centro and the hotel blew us out of the water. Extremely clean room, friendly staff and extremely accommodating. Felt like a hidway from the breaches and felt close with all the locals. Recommend 10/10

Alex helped my wife and me during our stay. He was very kind and truly tried to provide the best service, which made us feel well taken care of. The hotel has a lot of positives. It’s located right in the heart of downtown, so we could easily walk to great restaurants and shopping spots. Also, the room was clean and stylish. The only downside was the noise at night. There’s a club nearby, so it can get a bit loud after midnight. But the hotel provides earplugs, which helped us sleep better.

The perfect romantic getaway

Our stay at the hotel was absolutely unforgettable, starting with the seamless virtual check-in process, which was incredibly easy and convenient. Upon arrival, the staff greeted us warmly. The room was impeccably clean, with minimalistic decor that was both modern and warm, creating a serene atmosphere. The location was perfectly situated in downtown, making it easy to explore local attractions, the bed was so comfortable it felt like sleeping on clouds, and the soft lighting added to the cozy ambiance. We would highly recommend Drift hotel for a romantic getaway, as it offers the perfect combination of comfort, elegance, and relaxation.

Absolutely lovely hotel, but not for getting a good night's sleep. Even on a Monday night, the extremely loud local music/ club venue raged until 2am. Even though the hotel provided earplugs. It doesn't help.

The property itself is gorgeous & my room is aesthetically so cool! I didn't mind the late night DJ because he was very good but the surrounding area overall was incredibly loud until super late (2-3am). I am also absolutely covered in mosquito bites from dining here. The pool offers no privacy and is tiny. The location is really convenient though & this place has great style.

This is a very nice facility, however beware of the music on the weekends from the bar across the street. The staff will assist you but you must distract them from their phones or computers first. Also be prepared to have your credit card automatically charged for a tip. You will see the charge and then you complete an automatic checkout that will not process without accepting
