The property feels like a retreat with a lovely atmosphere that feels a world apart from Long Beach despite being so close in proximity to town. We didn't have time to make full use of the pool, sauna, or pickleball courts - but these amenities would be perfect for a rainy day at the coast and when we come back we'll make more time in our schedule to use them. Check-in/check-out was a breeze and staff was very pleasant. They let me borrow a lighter for a birthday cake which was much appreciated! The walk to the beach is very scenic and beautiful in itself. Highly recommend this resort!

We love the proximity to the…read morebeach, the fact that it's very dog friendly, there's a huge indoor pool, and most of all, we love that there is a kitchen so we can make our own meals. Prior to this visit, the rooms were fairly basic, but very adequate. Today, we arrived to find a beautifully updated room, that feels much bigger and much cleaner than they previously were. We have new appliances, new countertop and backsplash, new floors, a larger couch, a huge king bed, a walk-in shower with a new vanity, and everything is just stunning. Very well done! From the bottom units, you have a small deck with a bench, and upper units have a balcony. All rooms overlook the dunes, and the higher ones can catch you a glimpse of the ocean. You spend the evening listening to the roar of the waves. It's so relaxing. In the main office area, you'll find a recreation room, vending machines, and espresso stand with good coffee, and a huge saline pool that's in a solarium type of building. Their fitness center is small but it's something. They love dogs, and it shows. You'll get a welcome pack for your mutt, and there's a lighthouse themed dog house in the parking lot that you can take pictures of your dog with. There's two TVs - you can stream from your device in the bedroom, or watch cable in the living room. You'll have a gas fireplace, a lounge chair, a couch that folds out into a bed with a nice, squishy mattress, and a two person dining table. The staff here have been here a long time, and it's always nice to see a familiar face when we arrive. Shout out to Kevin! Always friendly and helpful. It's about a five minute drive to downtown Long Beach, where you'll find a bakery, an arcade, and lots of shops and restaurants. Don't forget you can even drive on the beach! You'll love it here.

We arrived at 5ish and the nice woman with the broken foot checked us in. That was all pretty smooth. It is close to the ocean. Parking is fine. They had board games, ice water,coffee and some snacks in the lobby along with an ice and vending machine. It was quiet the night we stayed with few guests. There is a restaurant on site that serves beer, paninis, and flatbreads, along with other bar type snacks. The rooms are well appointed with a tv,microwave,fridge,fireplace. No a/c but we didn't need it. Beds have piles of fluffy pillows. There was a coffee maker,coffee and tea, toiletries, and plenty of fresh towels. In the morning there is free breakfast so we grabbed juice, yogurt, and honey buns. There was also fruit, hardboiled eggs, some other simple things to eat This was a very good place to stay. We would stay again.

They must've been busy or overwhelmed, because the amenities weren't explained until we asked about them. They don't give you a map of the property or of Long Beach either like other resort-y hotels I've been to. When asked what there was to do in town, they didn't really suggest anything specific other than going south and going north (it's all one street). We stayed in the "Beach House" studio room and to be honest, it could use a remodel. The wood floors were a bit sticky and the gas fireplace was not plugged in when we check in. Walls/ceilings are thin, we could hear our neighbors stomping around all night. The jetted tub in the room, while nice in theory, looked very dingy yellow and the caulk needed to be replaced. It is nice that it's pet friendly, but there wasn't much pet amenities other than treats at the Adrift front lobby. A bandana, dog bowl to borrow, or extra sheet for our dog would have been nice. They do have free EV chargers, you have to ask for a card at the lobby. Be careful tho! Other guests unplugged and used our charger while we went to get a card.

You're close to the ocean, surrounded by trees, and there's this constant sense of spaciousness that lets your mind open up. It creates the perfect conditions for artists to think, feel, and make work. What makes Arts Week truly special, though, is the people. The group of artists is diverse, thoughtful, and deeply engaged. You're in conversation all day long, whether that's over shared meals, spontaneous collaborations, or late night talks that somehow become the most meaningful part of the experience. It's rare to find a space where people show up this open and this willing to connect. The programming strikes a great balance. There's structure when you want it, like readings, performances, and workshops, but also plenty of unstructured time to follow your own creative instincts. There's also a real sense of care built into the week. The staff and organizers are thoughtful and attentive, and you can feel that they want everyone there to succeed!

Their eye for detail is immaculate. We had a long drive to this location after a long flight ride and were immediately greeted with local craft beers in the fridge and a delicious cheese and charcuterie board. The sauna is amazing and the local soaps and lotions an added bonus. There's bikes and a laundry room for use, and the views are unbeatable. Smoking is permitted outdoors in a designated area for those who desire, but the area is not obtrusive or bothersome to no smokers, and this house by no means smells like cigarette smoke whatsoever. Everyone in my 5 person party keeps raving about this place. You are a FOOL if you don't stay here.

We stayed here for 3 nights in July this summer to relax in one of our fave towns in Washington…read morestate and also look around other nearby communities for future retirement homes. It's in a great spot in town with beach access and close to the main drag for shopping or dining. Because we stayed 3 nights, we got 30% off our stay - a promotion they had this summer. That made the stay far more affordable! The room we were placed in had an ocean view and was on the top floor. Really nice. The only downside to this particular room, #431, was being right next to the door/hallway that led to the elevator landing and the Pickled Fish Restaurant. The noise level at night would be a little annoying, so we'd slip out and shut that exterior door that opened to the landing. The only problem with that is guests needed to go through that door to get to the other rooms on the 4th floor. So, the heavy door was clunking open and closed until people were all inside or the restaurant closed. Also, occasionally someone would reopen the door and prop it open...letting the noise rise again. I'd pop outside in my PJs and have to close it again. Each Night...so avoid this room if you can. I'm sure the other 4th floor ocean views were OK. The room was clean and modern. Turndown service still exists here too! It was nice to have our room freshened up! There were even bathrobes and beach towels provided. The front desk is nice and responsive if you have a request. There is no A/C in the room, but they did have a box fan if it got too warm. We cracked opened the windows to let fresh cool air inside. There is a wall heater for the colder days. Bed is comfortable...I thought it was going to be too soft but slept like a rock and wasn't sore afterward. Had a place that functions for a desk with a hard plastic desk chair. The other chairs in the room were more comfortable. We will be back I'm sure in the near future.

We…read morehave stayed at The Bowline in Astoria a handful of times - which is managed by the same parent company - and had expectations about the quality of this hotel due to our very pleasant stays there. Unfortunately this place fell short in a couple of ways. The booking experience is a bit confusing, especially if you are trying to book a room at The Inn at Discovery Coast, which is a smaller hotel owned by Adrift and located a stone's throw away from the Adrift. It is the nicer hotel of the two, as the rooms all have oceanfront views and individual, motel-style entrances to each room. During the booking process, the website does a poor job at distinguishing which property you are booking for, and instead lumps both properties into the same search (even if you specifically select one or the other). We only found out when we arrived that we had booked the Adrift and not The Inn, which was a huge disappointment. They were, of course, fully booked, so we did not have the opportunity to re-book upon arriving. The hotel itself has a much less premium feel than The Bowline, and doesn't feel as well-kept. You can tell they were going for luxury but spared many expenses on the furnishings and decor, as it feels a bit more like a cheap Airbnb. The "partial ocean view" rooms on the side of the building should be called "full parking lot view where you can see the ocean if you stand in the corner". We were also down the hallway from the hotel's bar and restaurant, which stayed loud pretty late. I would hate to have booked a room underneath it, even if it meant facing the ocean. We did find a dead bed bug in the sheets while we were there. Upon reporting to hotel's email, they thanked us but offered no consolation in return, which was disappointing. A coupon off another stay would at least have been nice. The pluses: it's conveniently located near town and the boardwalk that leads into the main part of Long Beach. We did enjoy that walk and access to town! It is likely that we won't be back, unless we are so confused during the booking process that we book it by mistake again.
