"If you’re after a communal, cozy, no-fuss, and minimalist hotel, then Drift will be your happy place. Located right in the busy heart of Santa Barbara, just out the front door is entertainment of all kinds from dusk till dawn on State Street. Although rooms are small, they have that raw and clean feel about them—with black painted walls and headboards constructed from repurposed redwood indigenous to California. All in all, it’s a true coastal vibe. It has the spirit of staying at an Airbnb—you’ll get your door codes via text message—but a communal, social energy that can’t be beaten."
