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.

Definitely overpriced for how simple it is

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.

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

Love this hotel, this was.our 2nd stay, i do wish they still offered the complimentary coffee and pastries in the morning, that was a really nice classy touch. Not having that felt a bit chincy. Overall still a cool hotel with great staff

Too short- we’ll be back!

Too short! Loved the welcome drink, the bathrobes, the room! A coffee in the morning on the house would have been lovely, all hotels in US provide coffee in room or in lounge. Overall great experience- we’ll be back!

Well worth the visit!

I had a bit of a hard time getting my card for incidentals to go through, as I had to try many different ones (all from the same bank, though). Other than that, it was a great experience. The on-site staff was gracious and accommodating, and the food was delicious. The location is super convenient, and the hotel grounds are well-kept. I loved the room (although the shower spills a bit of water, it's not a big issue for me). The style of the hotel is pretty cool, I would be back for sure. I loved the welcome mezcal and the cocktails.

2/10 Poor

Loud music until 4am; ear plugs provided a joke. Absolutely terrible
Ileah, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property is very beautifully designed. However, we were hoping for more hotel amenities such as a formal check in and cleaning daily, but it felt more like a air bnb that way. Restaurant on site is great and the location is perfect for walking around the city. However, it is close to a open air bar and one night it was very loud, but I guess that is expected if you want to stay in the heart of the town. Pool was lovely, but we were there in Winter and it doesn't really get sun until noon. Overall, had a lovely experience but don't know if it was worth the price.
Sarah, 2-night trip

Cute boutique hotel

Hotel is a beautiful property. The people on site were lovely. Jennifer on the phone from customer service was useless. Our cab driver could not find the location and she could help to save her life. Argh. Thank God we found it ourself, I had to tip the poor guy a extra $10
Lynne, 1-night trip

Beautiful spot for a quick trip to San Jose

Beautiful hotel and kind staff. It's mostly self-service besides the restaurant/bar, but overall it's a perfect place for a solo traveler or couple. The room was beautiful and the property is stunning. You really cannot beat the location - it's on a quiet street, but a block from the square and the best restaurants in the area. A few things to note: 1. Sound from the restaurant really carries (my room was directly next to it) - It was just one night and on a Sunday, but I've heard they have DJs on weekends and I imagine that would be quite loud. 2. I was only there for a quick stop, but I imagine the exposed shower in the middle of the room wouldn't be the most practical for daily use.
Allison, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

LOUD.

PLEASE beware if you are staying at The Drift during the weekend...the music at a club across the street is truly unbearable. We are two young people who normally can handle noise but this was otherworldly. Our entire room was reverberating from the noise. The music went until 4am and the hotel does not warn you how incredibly loud it is. We thought the provided earplugs were for the construction next door but no...it was for the FULL blast music. We had a horrible sleep and immediately left in the morning.
