I had such a GREAT experience staying in the Tiny Mermaid House! It was immaculate, inside and out! The bed was so comfortable, and it was such a beautiful view to wake-up to! I was travelling solo, and felt very safe at this location. I will definitely be staying here again!

The Driftwood Inn is not for everyone, but offers real value and very comfortable accommodations. For most rooms the bathrooms are shared - given the modest number of rooms per floor, sharing was never inconvenient. The rooms are of modest size, so not a lot of space to spread out your belongings, but each room has a functional work table and chair (unlike many more expensive hotels). Each room is equipped with USB(A/B) ports, often combined with another appliance or multi-outlet adapter. In short, it has everything a traveler needs, and little superfluous amenities. Beware that the provided in-room coffee makers can be finicky (or just do not work) but the hotel provides free 24-hour coffee.

The room was so tiny and cute I loved it! It had a sink which was nice. Shared bathroom which was fine. We really just used it for sleep and a little relaxation in the evening so it was perfect. Had a wonderful view of the water. There was a restaurant within walking distance, I mean, it was literally across the street! lol that was really nice. Staff was super friendly. Highly recommend. Now if you want luxury, this is not for you. But if you want a cozy, cute, hometown experience this place is a must.

The bed and room were very comfortable. This is right across the street from a nice steakhouse and a very cute coffee/ breakfast creperie. The Driftwood had lots of character. It was not at all what I expected but sometimes good things are like that. The people were so nice and helpful! They booked dinner reservations for me and a bird/ boating tour in Halibut Cove. I’d stay here again.
