The staff was wonderful. The views were great from the room and the pathway over to the beach was a nice walk each evening. The room was a typical hotel room. We did like having a fridge available.

We’ve stayed at Driftwood before, and we enjoy it. It’s a modest motel without a lot of flashy fancies, but it’s clean and the rooms are nice with a beautiful view of Lake Huron.

Staff were wonderful! Rooms are nice. Loved it had a coffee maker, microwave and mini fridge in the room. Was disappointed that it's advertised as lake view but I only had trees. You have to walk a small trail to get to Lake Huron. It's gorgeous when you get to the beach. There's also a bonfire pit on the beach and very few people were at this part of the beach. Crystal clear water. Definitely a nice place to stay. I enjoyed it.
