Not a fan of the dirt-stained mirror in the private bathroom. Felt unnecessary. Wish there was some other form of storage to put clothes away but not a deal breaker. First time at the hotel and it was a great experience. Will definitely be staying again.

We loved everything about Drift! We stayed in a two room suite over looking the pool, with an incredible view of the mountains. The entire vibe of the room was right up our alley, and we enjoyed the patio and hanging chair. One thing that really stood out for me was the fully stocked snacks and drinks...all reasonably priced, no insane price gouging like you find at most hotels. Location is perfect for Thursday night street fest, shopping, and dining; parking and check-in was a breeze. Also, the room smelled amazing. We found out after check-out it's Drift signature scent and candles were available to purchase...definetly will be purchasing on our next visit!

Great place, very spacious and clean. Loved the room and its view. Loved that the fridge had an ice maker and grocery outlet was down the street. Only thing that I dislike was the showers water pressure but other than rhat everything was good.

Three complaints: No onsite gym, suggest to partner with close local gyms for a discounted rate or package rate. No small towels and didn’t know how to request new towels. Room had an adjoining door. Could hear the neighbours like they were in our room. The last night was awful, they were being super loud, dragging furniture across the floor and were up till past 1am. We couldn’t sleep and had to put on noise cancelling headphones to drown the noise out. We should've been placed or upgraded to a different room w/o an adjoining door or be refunded the last night of our stay.

There were loud young women next door and it was difficult to fall asleep. The lack of a real person checking me in caused problems - emails claiming I didn't send the right ID and selfie, for example. All of that wouldn't be an issue if a real person was at the front desk.

This hotel is not for the “normal” hotel guest. Be advised, you will have tiny bathrooms (in the studio room) and the mirror is antiqued (little brown spots all over the mirror) so you will not be able to see yourself to get ready. There is no closet for your clothes or shoes, the shower is fine but water will splash all over the floor and you will have to wipe everything down so you do not slip and fall. The AC unit is the type you might see in a very old property (individual units per room) not central air like we are all used to the last 50 years. There is no office, so you have to text all your communication to a nameless staff person. There is no housekeeping. If you need something, you have to text for it, and maybe you will, maybe you will not get your request taken care of. I would skip over this one and go to a regular branded hotel - Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott, etc.

Will definitely be back. Perfectly located to shops and restaurants/bars (walking distance). The room was amazing and the bed was soooo comfy. If I had a couple critiques it would be cushion's for the seats on the room balcony and a more generous pour for drinks as they were quite pricey. The staff were friendly and personable. Other than the (very minor) suggestions, Drift will be my choice anytime I’m back in PS.

The staff were very accommodating and communicated promptly for my requests. The rooms are well stocked with the exception of storage space for clothes. I don’t understand the concept of hanging your clothes on exposed hooks and having nowhere to unpack your clothes but find it increasingly a design choice in newer boutique hotels. Anyway I really like the property and the location- the pool is very nice and seating seemed to fill up quickly so get your loungers early. This was an incredible value for what you get and I appreciated the free parking right outside my room. I would definitely consider booking this hotel when revisiting PS.

First, the suite was unbelievable! Not only was it huge with 4 bedrooms, 3 baths but the modern, sparse style was very asthetic. I loved that there was lots of food and drink for purchase in the room and it was all reasonably priced. Self check in was a bit of a mess and took too long. There were two staff members sitting at the bar on their computers big they had to get a manager to help figure out why their system wasn’t recognizing the Expedia confirmation number. Then they wanted to charge me again even though I’d paid Expedia so I showed them my receipt. The pool was ok, not great and even though the manager saw the kids jumping in the pool, splashing and using water guns, he did nothing. The pool wasn’t relaxing because kids were out of control and they let too many people in who had used Resort Pass and not paid for a room. . The walls in the room are thin and it was extremely noisy. We heard a kid running upstairs for hours. There’s no one to help with your luggage; it’s all do it yourself. The bar style was cool but overall not enough staff working. The best thing was the room. We didn’t even want to go out because it was such a large room which was nice since there were 5 of us and we had been squished in other hotel rooms. We ordered Postmates for dinner and ate in. I’m not sure we’d stay here again because $1000 is a lot for a suite considering everything else wasn’t up to par.

Very hip downtown hotel. Fun vibe and great location. Just a bit odd to check in standiing in the middle of the restaurant with someone on an I pad?? Why not a little desk i the corner somewhere?? The precheck in process was a bit of a nuisance and ours got very convoluted with two rooms reserved. Overall, I would return and tell others the same.

The hotel is beautiful, clean and well maintained. Staff were friendly and approachable. The esthetic of the room was great however there were a few items we felt are essential for a hotel. Storage in the rooms was lacking. No closet and drawers requires us to have open suitcases on the floor. No towel hooks at the restroom sinks made washing face and brushing teeth awkward to find a towel on the wall behind you, one full length mirror in the living room was not ideal for 8 women getting ready to go out in the evening. We really felt each bedroom should have its own mirror. The last recommendation would be to have a larger toaster oven. Again in a four bedroom suite it is safe to assume preparing food for a large party would be happening. As well as the coffee drip. We literally had a line waiting for the first cup of coffee. Otherwise our stay was great
