The Drift is in a great location. Easy walking distance to Palm Springs. Staff was wonderful, the room was clean. The only negative is the only place to store your clothes is a suitcase rack and a small hanging area. A dresser or cubbies would be great for this very affordable hotel

We had such an amazing stay at Drift Palm Springs this weekend. From the moment we arrived, the hotel staff made us feel so welcome and taken care of. Everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. The property itself is beautiful, but the pool area truly stands out. It’s huge, relaxing, stylish, and feels like a little oasis in the middle of Palm Springs. Perfect for spending the entire day lounging in the sun. The location honestly could not be better, right in the center of the city and walking distance to all the cool bars, restaurants, shops, and even the casino. We barely had to use the car the entire trip. Such a perfect weekend getaway and we already can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting Palm Springs!

We loved The Drift!! Check in was easy, and early. The place was spacious and clean, great kitchen, lovely patio, awesome beds and bathrooms. Living areas were awesome, too. Parking was easy, the pool was nice, though definitely crowded on spring break. We had one little annoyance that when we arrived, the bar and restaurant were closed for a private party, but the Drift staff made it right but offering us complimentary drinks the following night. Very friendly bar and restaurant servers. Would definitely return!

We loved our stay at Drift Palm Springs. The location is fantastic—super close to downtown Palm Springs, so it was easy to walk to restaurants, shops, and coffee spots. The hotel has an amazing modern desert vibe—stylish, relaxed, and thoughtfully designed. Our room was clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated with high-end touches that made it feel boutique and special. Staff were friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience feel effortless.
