My husband and I decided simply to drive south over the Thanksgiving holiday, with no set destination. We ended up in Panama City Beach, and went to the Chamber of Commerce to inquire about lodgings. My husband picked up a flyer for the Driftwood Lodge, and it appeared to be just what we were looking for - 50 years of... more

My husband and I stayed August 14th-August August 18th. The room was okay. It is a older hotel and I thought the room could have been a little cleaner. The bathroom was TINY! We stayed in a room that had a separate king bed and a full living room with a kitchen. It had a beautiful view. The bed wasn't... more

Got up early and stayed up late just to sit outside on our balcony and enjoy the ocean. Each balcony has Adirondack chairs not just cheap uncomfortable ones. The rooms are very clean and you never have to worry about your personal belongings when you leave the room. One of the most relaxing vacations we've had in years, we even... more

I found this hotel by accident while looking for places to stay at PCB. I read the great reviews on trip advisor, and thought - this was too good to be true. Especially when I called and the rates averaged $100/night. We arrived, and the front desk help was very friendly. The room was clean - and I was impressed... more

My Husband and I had stayed at other places on the beach then we found Driftwood. This is just a nice little place. Right on the beach. We stayed in a Cabana Room. It was perfect for just the 2 of us. Just steps from the sand. I just made my reservations to go back for a week this September.... more

We came to this little Motel that sat among the High Rise hotels in Panama City Beach. We found our room to be just what we wanted with an Ocean view and lots of friendly people who made us feel like we had always lived there. We stayed 1 week and in 08 we are coming back to stay the... more

We have stayed several years in a row at the Driftwood. We love staying in the king rooms. The people are wonderful and it is fairly quiet after the school starts in the fall. The rooms are just regular motel rooms but we don't really care about the rooms. The beach is great and in a fairly decent part of... more

Well, where to begin, clean,friendly,relaxing, laid back!!! Wonderful staff, and owners! Other guests in hotel, friendly, polite, fun! Why would you want to go anywhere else! We wouldn't! Driftwood Lodge is the best on the beach, unless you want someone else to pamper you. But here you pamper yourself, and its wonderful! And watermelon time, is something refreshing to look... more
