Top Driftwood Beach Hotel Reviews

Saint Simons Inn by the Lighthouse

8/10 Good

"Room was not cleaned during our 3 day stay. Had to ask for towels each day. Location is great!"

Ocean Lodge Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful view and lovely European villa feel. Just across from the beach. Convenient covered parking with elevator to condo. Rooftop restaurant with amazing views of the ocean."

Queens Court

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and great staff."

Villas By the Sea Resort & Conference Center

8/10 Good

"Overall, it was a good experience. There were a few things in the room that needed some maintenance, and had that maintenance been done, it would have improved the experience. I thought it was a little tacky that they charge a resort fee per day, but it doesn't give you access to anything unique that other hotels already offer without charging a resort fee. And I was a little offended that I was expected to remove my trash out of my room when I checked out."
