Driftwood at Anna Maria Island Inn

Due to the fact that the renovations were not completed, we did NOT stay at the Driftwood Inn. In addition, we were not notified of this until I called. Yes, we were upgraded, however it would have been nicer had Expedia communicated this change. I had messaged Expedia in the morning of our arrival and no response. I called Expedia and spoke with Mitch about an hour before arrival. Communication was not what we expected.

Good place to stay. No complaints at all

We had no TV, no Internet, I had the service men out 5 times before it was fixed at 10ish the night before we left. Personally I feel in this day we should have both without question, or move us to a different room since we were told our room was the only one without.

It was nice and comfortable I wouldn’t stay more than a night because there was a moldy smell it wasn’t unbearable but k don’t think will Be safe for more than one night. Also we got bit a lot from bugs outside when we were in the pool even in the daytime so couldn’t enjoy the pool much. Everything was extremely clean and organized though

No Internet the whole stay. Couldn't even watch TV

Check in was ok, although you did it at a different location and there was no one on the premises to assist you with anything. Late afternoon there was a terrible storm and the roof in the bathroom, which was very small, started leaking. Water was dripping out of the vent. You could not stand by the sink without getting wet. When I called to report it I had to leave a message. Finally someone responded, by text message, that they would report it to maintenance. Meanwhile, we are watching out the window water flooding up to the units next to us and water covering the doors. The streets on both sides of us were flooded. Then the internet/TV went out the entire evening and wasn't working the next morning. The air conditioner was extremely noisy. I understand you cannot control the weather but my issue is that NO ONE ever called to check on us. Our room could have flooded but they wouldn't even know.

Cute little rooms. The room was clean, decorated cute and they cooled it off for us.

Great little hideaway spot!

Great place to stay. Very well located. Little issues not a big deal. In general this motel/inn is very good, swimming pool is great. I recommend it.

average...Check-in is a couple miles away... It was not easy to contact the management by phone- called many many times, no answer, I was called at some point, was told its weird, the phones are working. I dialed the numbers I was given. I received the text to let me know the room was ready an hour prior to check-in time, I called for help, got a text saying the room is guarantied by 4pm which did not make sense as they had already sent me a text letting me know it was ready and I had the code to enter. its a small place with 7 or 8 rooms, they were putting new mattresses, new fridges, left one fridge in the sitting area the whole week. The kitchen sink water pressure was terrible, I washed the dishes in the bathroom. no batteries in the fan remote control, went to buy a batterie so I could stop the fan, the housekeeping was very sweet, daily housekeeping means new towels, my bed was made and trash taken out. The kitchen area did not get touched. the area is easy access to get everywhere on the island which is a great location for shopping, eating and close to any beach. However, I dont think I would stay there again.

Location and price were pretty good. Getting in unit and shower needs improvement.

A was very nice

Good location end good bang for the buck

Everything was perfect for our trip

Overall very cute with small stove and a full fridge. The beach access was very accessible and made the trip worth it!

Exceptionally clean.

There is one parking space per room and we didn’t have a problem when we first arrived on the property. We went to dinner and came back at approximately 20 minutes till 10 PM and every parking space was taken by vehicles, but also three golf carts in the parking spaces for guest’s cars. I contacted the office to let them know we had nowhere to park, they said they would send someone from maintenance down to take care of the situation. We waited for 20 minutes with my nine year-old daughter in the car, no one showed up so I called back, I got an apology and that she would send someone right away. 10 minutes later still no one had shown up, I took my daughter inside while my husband waited in the car. We finally received a phone call telling us that we could park across the street in the parking lot of a bank, and would not have any problems. Thankfully, we did not have any problems, but that didn’t fix the parking situation. We have stayed on the island many times and understand that parking can be a situation, but there was no excuse having to wait outside of our room for a total of 40 minutes because guest parked their rental golf carts in spots that are for other guests. I don’t think we’ll be staying here again.

The walkway from the parking area out front to the room has pebbles which is hard to walk on barefooted and terrible on the luggage .

It was a great place! Great pool!

Great location
