Enjoyed my stay at Drift. Room was small but well decorated. I would have appreciated more water since I stayed multiple days. Note that your room won’t be cleaned unless you ask. Staff was responsive to my text when I needed shower caps. I appreciated having a room code rather than needing a physical card. I would stay here again!

Drift Santa Barbara is perfectly cozy, with a great location that provides easy walking access to so many SB staples. The hotel is beautifully designed, the rooms are comfortable and cozy, and the on-site offerings (Dawn + Dusk) make it a great place to start the day or night. Highly recommended!

The Drift hotel was an amazing stay! The hotel itself is in a great location--only a few blocks from the beach, walking distance to all kinds of restaurants, cafe's, bars, etc. They even have a café & bar in the hotel. State street was very lively at night, but you can't hear the noise from inside your room. The added touches made the stay very memorable! Everything from the functionality of the space, to the amazing soap scents, the moody lights, and modern industrial feel--it was easily one of the best hotel experiences I have had. Bonus is you get to check-in & out using your phone! Saved so much time not having to wait on a concierge. I simply received a text with my room # and a code for access. I will definitely return to the Drift hotel :) hopefully sooner rather than later!
