Driftwood Shores Resort

Had a great stay in a Condo unit. Great views and got to be with my kids. We got the Military Discount. My husband is a disabled Veteran,(and she even thanked him for his service!). The Wifi was good, who needs a phone. The suite was clean and the beds were comfortable.

We thoroughly enjoyed our September 2015 stay. The staff at the hotel and restaurant were fabulous. No AT&T cell service and that’s ok because why would you want to be on the phone here anyway?! Makes you truly appreciate the Oregon coast.
Every room has an unobstructed ocean front view. Wifi is free and excellent throughout the entire property. Whether enjoying breakfast, lunch or taking in an evening sunset during supper, the ocean window views while dining are second to none. Even the views from the bar/​lounge are great. If you enjoy a glass of wine (or two) the selection here won’t disappoint. A good variety of beers too. This is indeed a «hidden gem» of the Oregon Coast.

We stayed while making our way down the coast and have no complaints. The room was very clean, nice bed, nice staff and great view. The wifi worked for us but was a little slow, no biggie, with a view and a comfy bed who needs it.

Our family has been coming to Driftwood Shores for 40 + years. Beautiful location. It’s the only hotel in Florence located on the beach, and it has 180 degree panoramic views from every room. It was amazing to see the handicap lifts in the pool and hot tub. The only thing that could make it better is if dogs were allowed in the rooms.

Very overpriced for the quality, no continental breakfast, the WiFI wouldnt let us access because it said «Too many people are using it» — whose fault is THAT? Both of their wifi networks did this. All night. The next day there were no wifi signals at all, and there are NO BARS of network connectivity out here at all. Not happy. Connecting with the outside world is kinda important.
Again, if the price was about ²⁄₃^rd of what they charge, it might be appropriate. They overcharge a lot here. And an 11am checkout time is insulting.

Absolutely terrible!
–Sand in the bed sheets.
–No WIFI.
–No toilet paper.
–Long wait at the restaurant.
–Food was sub-​standard and overpriced.
–TV remote didn’t work.
I recommend finding somewhere else to stay. Especially for the price!

No wifi no wifi no wifi. Everyone we encountered was complaining about it. Front desk had a nonsensical answer. First, it was because the hotel was full. Then they said your best reception would be out front of the hotel. Tried that. Nothing. Many unhappy campers including our party. No amount of gorgeous view and beach access makes up for having no wifi. And did I mention no text or cell? That fact was blamed alternately on ATT. No answers but lots of excuses.

Pleasantly surprised by this place! It’s an older building, so it doesn’t look like much from the parking lot. But the room was equipped with everything we needed/​wanted to enjoy a quiet getaway while driving the Oregon Coast. Stunning beach view, well appointed room and a monster jacuzzi that was perfect after a day of driving. The staff was helpful and polite – very accommodating. For the price (which was reasonable) we couldn’t have asked for more.

Well, you could see the ocean — which we liked.
We were in a large suite — living room/​full kitchen and bathroom in one room and bedroom/​bath in the other room.
This place is an older and somewhat updated hotel. They do have HD TVs — my husband was happy. Elevators were «interesting» (sounding and looking) — worked fine.
We went to fix dinner and some circuit «blew.» It took 3 staff members (maintenance had gone home) over the period of 45 minutes to get it figured out — frustrating, but. .they got it. (seems that for a place this size, that staff should be better trained/​briefed on what to do if there is not going to be the maintenance person on-​site. It was an easy fix!)
You could hear people walking on the floor above you.
Staff was very pleasant — and we we were expecting a FedEx delivery and that was handled well and efficiently!

Stayed here over the weekend. Next time we are in Florence we’ll be back! Beautiful view, clean room, and quiet. Had a blast in the pool and relaxing in the hot tub. Also I love that it isn’t too far from a mini mart and fred meyer.

This was our first stop on our honeymoon roadtrip up the 101. Despite the usual Oregon winter weather, we were cozied up in our queen bed room — let’s face it, we weren’t expecting bells and whistles other than a place to stay for the night away from the town.
It was north of Florence and about maybe a couple miles or so away from the main highway. We found it with no difficulty using our phone’s map. Walking in, we met a very friendly check-​in clerk (I’m very bad with names and I just remember that she had had surgery on her left arm) who was very quick and efficient as she described the property, offered a room on highest floor (it is winter — they had rooms to spare) and placed us where she thought the view was best, and handed us our keys.
We got to the room fairly quickly. Room was clean and tidy, bed comfortable. Floor to window glass offered a great view of the ocean. Props to our check-​in agent! She selected well.
Our room was close to the elevator but we didn’t hear anything.
We then opted for dinner at the on-​site restaurant. (Separate review) … And after an hour had passed, we opted to end the day of shopping and sightseeing with a pleasant dip in their spa jet hot tub. Heated pool was ok, but we were more excited about the hot tub. Relaxed to the max!
Slept very well. Woke up to the gentle sound of the ocean. There was a random person down on the sand who had made two giant hearts with giant kelp…
Checkout was a breeze and very pleasant with a bubbly miss named April.
Will we return? Definitely.
