Good location- easy drive to Bethel Woods. Our dog enjoyed his walk to the water. The room was clean but the water in the shower was really weak. Very comfortable bed.

Rooms were stylish and trendy. Some small stains in the tub and on the shower curtain but overall a clean room. The stopper under our door was coming up and one of the sockets looked like it was burnt. Can definitely see where they are making improvements. A lot of clicking at night.

Not bad for a night

Overall, it was good for what we needed, which was a decent place to stay overnight after a concert. Check in was a little confusing because you actually have to go into the bar/restaurant that’s attached & check in at the bar…..but, there was nothing that tells you that, we just circled the building until we decided we’d go inside & see if they could direct us…..which they did, but it would have been helpful to have some sort of sign that said “check-in.” We watched several people pull up & circle the building because they were just as confused as we were! But, the bar/restaurant that was attached had a very chill vibe with cool bartenders & the food was really good, especially after driving 3 hours! Rooms were cozy for the night…..bed wasn’t super comfortable, but for 1 night, it was ok. The town itself is pretty desolate, so to have a room that also had a bar/restaurant attached was pretty ideal!

A wonderful place! A tastefully decorated clean, big, bright, and airy room with good quality bath products and plenty of towels. The staff were excellent - very responsive and helpful. It was easy to access the room. The bedding was super soft and comfy. Plenty of parking. Nicely situated by the river. A great breakfast option just across the roady the “Hungry Goat” (delicious food). Excellent! Would definitely go back to the Drift House.

My partner and I travel for business from time to time and he and I really enjoyed staying here. It was extremely peaceful and cute with a vintage vibe. The owner Kathy was very helpful and kind. It was also so nice to hear the river from our room and to spend some time in nature. The room was clean and comfortable. We were able to get good rest while on our work trip. If we are back in the area we will definitely book here again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
When I arrived, there was no one on site. As a result, I ended up making reservations at a different hotel. I am VERY UNHAPPY with the entire experience. I paid a significant amount of money for the room, and expect I do not qualify for a refund as I did not cancel prior to my arrival. Had I known there would be no one at the hotel I would have cancelled. The picture does not accurately represent how the hotel looks from the road. It was very misleading.

3 night stay

Overall a nice, large room. There was a layer of dust on the tabletops, and the floor was quite dirty. There are not a lot of options in the area, so I would stay there again, but will ask for a vacuum cleaner to be available.
