3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012 NEW

We stayed in a double room upstairs. The first couple of nights were fine as the hotel was quite quiet, but we did notice a change in noise levels for our final night and so if you're travelling here during peak season it's probably wise to pack ear plugs just in case. The room was spacious and clean, and had... More

We stayed at the Driftwood for two nights with our dog just at the end of the shoulder season. We got a rate of around $80 per night. This seemed pretty reasonable considering the going rate for other hotels in town which were in the $125+ range. We noticed that that Best Western's Sliding 29 had raised its rate considerably...

Having booked in at Ptarmagan we found our room to be adequate in the Driftwood which is in effect an annexe across the car park. Pretty good value. Centrally located so easy enough to find plenty of places to eat. The rear entrance takes you in to the back street and is very convenient for local supermarket and liquor store. More

Due to the excessive lodging costs in Banff, I chose the Driftwood Inn over its more expensive counterparts. I experienced no major issues, and I would definitely return if I came back to Banff. Rooms are fairly basic (no comfortable chairs) but the bed was fine. No bugs or dirt. There are some annoyances, such as a non-functional thermostat, a... More

I rated this only average because "Very Good" seemed a little excessive, and there was no "Good" category. I WOULD stay here again, in spite of the lumpy mattress. The value was excellent, location very good. Towels and TP were pretty decent and room was spacious. No micro-fridge was a downer, and thermostat seemed centrally controlled (is there AC?) --...

We have travelled quite a bid around the world and have always tried to keep our traveling expenses down so we had our concerns when we made the booking at The Driftwood Inn as some of the reviews were quite harsh but we have learnt to take a grain of salt when reading hotel reviews. The Driftwood Inn is part... More

We stayed here mid July 2011. Pets are the most annoying thing in the world when they are in hotels and hotels should not permit it. Damn dog in the next room would not stop barking and it could be heard in to our room. Otherwise not a bad place to stay. It was a nice and comfortable night. More

The 1st night there, someone was having a party next door and kept blowing an air horn (right next to our window). Security eventually came to quiet things down (after a few hours) and when we complained to the front desk, they offered to comp us breakfast the next morning. Imagine our surprise to find breakfast on our bill when... More

I am very sorry that you did not have a peaceful stay at the Driftwood Inn, and I have followed up with our security and front desk night agents to ensure that these issues are dealt with in a swift and professional manner in the future. I have also followed up with housekeeping to make certain they are keeping their... More

While the accommodation was pretty basic it was what I expected at the price and the location is great. The bathroom was clean but the carpets needed a very serious vacuum. My major complaint is that for 3 nights in a row the noise from rowdy groups prevented any sleep. Other reviews suggest this has been an ongoing concern but... More
