We were very pleased to stay here. Easy to check in, clean rooms. Children loved the candies on the front desk!:) you can feel the hospitality after a long day spent outdoors. Best location for biking and kayaking!
My girlfriend and I went to Ontario for the great motorcycling. Driftwood Inn was beyond our expectations. Julie was very friendly & accomodating with all the changes we made with our reservations. The rooms and common areas are emaculate and homey. We will be staying there several times a year. Highly recommended
The manager and owner are super nice. I have been coming to this place for the last 5 years. I love it here. I like the hospitality of the locals and the two bar and grills are in walking distance and the food is awesome. Very affordable as well.
Absolutely lovely hotel - the owner Julie is extremely accommodating and kind. They have everything you need for a cozy stay, the surrounding area is beautiful. Absolutely will stay here again next time I make the trip up, Ontario sure made a couple of Chicagoans feel right at home. Thank you Julie and thank you Driftwood Inn!
Julie was so easy to work with over the phone and the whole place was spotless and well organized. Smart TV and WIFI. Cool set up too to not need to worry about check in and paperwork. Also very accommodating and GREAT VALUE for a last minute reservation.
Great little motel, Rosella was the nicest lady ever. Be patient if you come in to get a room, takes her a little time to get to the desk. I got a room for the night and I told her that I had to drive back at 10 pm the next day. She let me stay until I had to drive back home so that I was rested for the trip.
Nice hotel, great value for the cost. Room is updated and extremely clean. Great front desk check-in and quite. Only thing I didn’t like was my bed, extremely uncomfortable felt like sleeping on a hard box spring. Staff was friendly!! Would recommend this hotel. I will differently return just try a different room!!
Very happy with our stay here. The rooms are simple but the place was VERY clean, like incredibly clean rooms! it was a really nice little place to crash while hiking for the weekend. Julie was so kind!
