The Drift is in a great location. Easy walking distance to Palm Springs. Staff was wonderful, the room was clean. The only negative is the only place to store your clothes is a suitcase rack and a small hanging area. A dresser or cubbies would be great for this very affordable hotel

We loved The Drift!! Check in was easy, and early. The place was spacious and clean, great kitchen, lovely patio, awesome beds and bathrooms. Living areas were awesome, too. Parking was easy, the pool was nice, though definitely crowded on spring break. We had one little annoyance that when we arrived, the bar and restaurant were closed for a private party, but the Drift staff made it right but offering us complimentary drinks the following night. Very friendly bar and restaurant servers. Would definitely return!

We loved our stay at Drift Palm Springs. The location is fantastic—super close to downtown Palm Springs, so it was easy to walk to restaurants, shops, and coffee spots. The hotel has an amazing modern desert vibe—stylish, relaxed, and thoughtfully designed. Our room was clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated with high-end touches that made it feel boutique and special. Staff were friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience feel effortless.

LOVED our stay at Drift. It's very self-service, which is amazing and easy to navigate. You can text the front desk and receive super quick responses for all requests. Suite amenities were great and it was so clean when we got there. Pool is lovely and the restaurant in the hotel has great food and drinks. Would recommend anyone to stay here!

We had a nice stay at the Drift. No contact check in and out which was super easy. Convenient parking. Walkable area. Only suggestions are that for the price not having daily housekeeping was disappointing- who wants to clean or make their bed on vacation? Also- water should always be complementary at this price point. Almost 1K a night commands better service! Apart from that- it was ok.
