Hotels near Driftwood Public Beach Access in Ocean Isle Beach

Someone in our party chose this location due to it being more economic. Parking is on site and location is pet friendly. Rooms were clean and fresh although the hallways smell musty. There is free breakfast which is nice but they lock the area where breakfast is served after serving hours so there is only the front lobby to gather in. When asked if we could be let into the area to play cards and visit we were told no. Staff is on the rude side - mostly. They are not very accommodating- actually told me they don’t get or send mail from this location so they could not put my postcards with their out going mail. There was a hotel mailbox right out front (which I used) and my mail was taken. Staff must not know what mail is. Due to it being pet friendly, a dog got loose and ran the hallway, dogs barked at all hours, and I actually witnessed a couple opening their door to be surprised by a dog which wasn’t theirs in the room Seems they were given an incorrect room to stay in. If price is your driving factor then this hotel is fine, otherwise I’d suggest looking elsewhere.

Unfortunately we wouldn’t stay here again. There was a cockroach in our bathroom and the AC was so loud. Positives: the breakfast, location and right on the beach.

Wish I had read my own review before booking this place. The hotel and the rooms were clean, and the staff is pleasant. King bed had some of the smallest pillows I've ever seen, that was weird. They've clearly invested a lot of money to convert something tired and run down into something nicer, but- walking through the building all we could muster was ”what have we done to ourselves”. When we pulled in the parking lot, we kind of already knew this place was going to be unique, just looking at the folks milling around the parking lot. This is not your hotel for a romantic weekend away...it's a stop, sleep, be gone hotel. Regretted booking non-refundable....I'd have never gone inside after pulling in the parking lot.

We've stayed at Ocean Drive for 7 or 8 consecutive years, always during the week of July 15th, our anniversary. We've always been very satisfied. The desk, housekeeping and maintenance staff have always been very friendly, courteous and efficient. In an effort to prevent a recurrence of a lost reservation by another hotel, many years ago, I always call the hotel the night before we were scheduled to arrive. So, I called Ocean Drive about 11:30 the night before to confirm our reservation. I was told by a very nice lady working the late shift that we were, in fact, scheduled to arrive the next day and booked for a King, Oceanfront Suite. Emphasis on Suite. We live on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, about 30 minutes from Ocean City. But, years ago, we decided we would spend over 9 hours driving time, traveling 476 miles and spending over $1,500.00 to stay at Ocean Drive for 5 or six days. Especially since this was our 50th Anniversary, we were really looking forward to a nice, relaxing stay at the beach. When we arrived, we had the distinct misfortune to find a lady named Gretchen handling Check-ins at the Desk. The last thing you want to be confronted with, when beginning your vacation at a hotel, is an Attitude from the Desk person. Maybe the battery on her late model Broom had died the night before, and she had to walk to work. For whatever reason, she took it upon herself to award our reservation to someone who was evidently a walk-in. Though she told us she didn't know who changed or why our reservation had been changed, it was pretty obvious it was her doing. She said that there was one remaining suite matching our reservation. After receiving a key, I went to check it out. It turned out that it was located on the 6th floor on the outer wall of the South end of the hotel. Rooms on that wall overlook what is called the ”Pavilion”. The town's hot spot at Main Street and Ocean Drive where bands, music, arcade and crowd noises last until late at night. I returned to the desk and told the Gretchenator that we did not wish to stay in that room. So, she then informed us that the only thing available was a Handicap room. Emphasis on ROOM. This was definitely not a SUITE. It consisted of a Bedroom with a bath, sink and microwave. So, if the weather wasn't good for the beach, we could stack pillows and watch the TV located at the foot of the bed. Unfortunately for us, the weather wasn't very good for 3 of the 5 days, so we watched a lot of TV. On our last day, I managed to get an audience with the General Manager, a beautiful young lady named Lindsay. She was very polite, listened to my story and said ”Thank you.” I told her that, though I was sure the hotel would not go broke, we wouldn't be returning to Ocean Drive Resort in future years. Next year we will return to the Avista Hotel, a couple doors up the street. Ocean Drive will have $1,500.00 less with which to fund Gretchen's salary next year

First, a positive shout out to Joy, Angela, and others as the staff were super friendly and accommodating. That said be sure to ask to see your room first as some are in the process of being updated. The second floor has a nice common sitting area (w/ a plug) for use of a laptop, etc. Lobby coffee was better than typical (thankfully) for a hotel of this sort. Internet speed was also superior compared to many hotels. An amazing number of channels on the TV. Our room had a sink, microwave, and mini-fridge. Comfortable bed. Lighting in the room could be better. Overall 4/5 due to the staff!

My family and I just spent a couple of nights there this past weekend. The hotel is nice, nicely located and clean. They offer a free hot breakfast to include eggs (not so great), waffles, bacon, link sausage and turkey sausage as well as biscuits and gra. There was an older woman who mans the cooking station and she has a little glass set up for tips. If you go there, tip her--we did. She was VERY busy on Sunday and running everything by herself. Plus, when we handed her a tip, she had a million dollar smile that was worth every penny of the tip just on the basis of that alone! My only issue, and it's not even an issue from the hotel, is that somehow, the ”privacy please” sign ended up on our door. We had driven down to Myrtle Beach on Sunday and were hot and sweaty and covered in sane when we returned around 4:30. Since the placard was placed on our door, no one ever came in to clean the room. Wouldn't have been a big deal but the humidity control isn't the greatest and the towels that we had used the previous night were still quite damp. I went down to the front desk and asked if we could at least get the trash emptied and new towels. I arrived at the front desk at 5:05 PM and had to walk by housekeeping to get there. The woman at the desk told me that housekeeping was already closed so we could not have the trash emptied. I told her that I had just walked past housekeeping and there was a woman in the department but I was told she had already clocked out and couldn't help. The front desk did give me fresh towels, though. I wasn't annoyed, just a little sad because we wanted the trash out of the room (we had ordered pizza Saturday night because almost everything else was closed and we had an almost 8 hour drive to get there) There is a salt water pool and, while small, is very comfy--water temperature was perfect and they have nice chaise lounges. One word of caution, not about the hotel but about the area: several places we went, including Bojangles next door, are short staffed. As such, we noticed places closing a few hours before the posted closing time and when they close at 7 PM, it can make is challenging very quickly to find food. Call places before you go so you don't waste a trip driving there. All in all, my children (21 and 25) and younger son's girlfriend were pleased with the hotel, especially the cleanliness of it. If we were to go back to the area (we were there for a funeral), we would not hesitate to stay there again.
