Very good budget option
I decided to go low-budget for my two-night stay in Chestertown (in town for the Rock Hall Triathlons). This place is convenient and an excellent choice for someone who doesn't plan to spend a lot of time in their room. Rooms are spare w/no frills. Basically four lights in the entire room (overhead, wall, bathroom, shower). Bed was reasonably comfortable. I did notice that the shower temperature control looked a little grungy on the inside; otherwise, the room was clean and fit for purpose. I would stay here again if I were seeking to economize.

It was clean and everything worked--more than I could say for many other more expensive rooms I've stayed in. The shower was exceptionally good. Watch out for the hot water: very hot! The TV had Netflix, Hulu, Roku, & Vudu. And they worked. On the downside, the furnishings and carpet were worn, but not terrible.

I have never bailed on a motel booking. Smelly room, dodgy neighborhood, broken equipment and cig butts everywhere… no way.

Keep your socks on - great for the price!
Our floor was very sticky, so keep your socks on. Everything else was really lovely, for the price we paid. Service was amazing, very kind and accommodating. Bathroom is old, but clean. Beds are comfy. Fridge and microwave are new and useful. If you’re looking for affordable and you won’t spend a lot of time there, Driftwood Inn is perfect.

Back in 15 minutes !?!
Went to check in. Front lobby locked. Sign says “back in 15 minutes”. Check-in after receptionist returns. Go to room. Prepare to take shower and realize there are no towels. Front lobby locked. Sign says “back in 15 minutes”. Go back numerous times over several hours. Front lobby locked. Sign says “back in 15 minutes”. Skip the shower. Next morning go to check out. Front lobby locked. Sign says “back in 15 minutes”.

Room smelled really bad. There was hair in the bathroom and only wiring where the smoke detector used to be. We used our own sheets and opted not to use the shower.

For the price, I guess OK but the place is neglected- broken soap racks in bathroom, and not clean, the previous occupier had spilt coffee on the bedside table that was just left to coagulate. So not an inviting place.

The room was terrible. The area was terrible location. There were no toiletries in the room. We were told by the staff not to be outside late because of the prostitutes and the drug dealers in the area. The doors didnt work right on the room or batroom. Worst hotel ive ever stayed at.
