I wish we had a better experience, but it was very disappointing. The parking lot was in very poor shape. The entire floor smelled like smoke - possibly because of the restaurant and bar downstairs.
The room was incredibly outdated. I'm not usually concerned with this, but the bedding was at least 40 years old.
I cannot recommend this location.
The Driftwood Inn surprised me a bit. I was expecting it to be least favorable of all the hotels for my trip around Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. I actually wound up sleeping the best there, and I was able to find grocery and gas options nearby. Parking behind the hotel was always available, even though I didn't see it at first. The one thing that could be improved would be the odor in the lobby that seemed reminiscent of a bowling alley. Otherwise, the Driftwood Inn worked out for what I needed to do.

They use a lot of extension cords. I don't know how safe that is. Pretty dated but clean.

Reserved a queen, got a double. Also room was small
The only thing was no ramp to get to the main entrance and no elevator. Difficult if you have hip and shoulder problems

I would best describe the Driftwood as a quaint hotel that is a bit tired. The room was also somewhat small. Nothing really bad but not especially modern. It was handy to have a restaurant attached.
