Wow! What a fun property! Now, I have first-hand knowledge of why Inn on the Drive rarely has vacancies. This place is beautiful. Fun. Relaxing. Close to everything a guy could ever want outta Wilton Manor. 2 thumbs up to Michael (Manager) and his staff for making Inn on the Drive a MUST-SEE on ANY travelers journey.

We booked one night just prior to a cruise and so glad we chose Inn On The Drive! The room was nice and bed comfortable. The Innkeeper Michael was so friendly and accommodating. We arrived ahead of check in time and he stored our luggage so we could go grab lunch. He texted when our room was ready and even placed our luggage in our room for us! Now that’s service! The grounds were well kept and the pools clean and inviting, although it was unseasonably cool that day, so never took a dip, but it was tempting! The complimentary breakfast was basic, but nice enough to get our day started. Also, the location can’t be beat; just off The Drive so it was quiet in the evening for sleeping but still close to everything you would want to do in Wilton Manors! We will definitely look to book again when we plan our next trip to Florida and this time stay for more than one night!

Our stay at the Inn On The Drive was absolutely spot-on. Michael was super accommodating when we arrived, letting us stash our bags before check-in, and he even managed to get us into our room earlier than we expected. The room looked exactly like the photos—no surprises there, just pure satisfaction. The outdoor area was a little oasis—private, comfy, and spotless. Being right in the heart of Wilton Manor was awesome; everything from food to drinks and entertainment was just a short walk away. We love hanging out in Wilton Manor, and there's no doubt we'll be booking the Inn On The Drive again next time!

I had an amazing stay at the Inn on the Drive. The location is unbeatable — right in the heart of Wilton Manors and walking distance to everything on the Drive. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the atmosphere felt welcoming and relaxed. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience smooth from check-in to check-out. I’d absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Every time I have stayed at Inn On The Drive I have seen improvements. With its lovely pools and hot tub, tropical greenery creating a garden-like atmosphere one can relax and yet in a walk just around the corner you can be in the heart of all the nightlife of the Drive. Since my last visit the addition of a room where coffee and breakfast items are available every morning is a welcomed addition.

My/our experience was wonderful! The Villa was great! It was very clean, spacious, and the outdoor space was lovely. I would stay there again in a hot minute. I've stayed at Inn on the Drive before and had a very favorable experience that time as well. It is a great property that seems to attract friendly guests, and the location is perfect. Michael also was fantastic. He was available to respond if we needed anything at a moment's notice, and he was able to answer any of our questions in an honest, knowledgeable manner.

If you are looking for a unique place to stay then this is it. The process for booking is easy and the communication is great! We recently stayed a weekend before traveling abroad and then stayed again after our flight was delayed. We had to keep adding days on and Michael worked with us and was understanding with the situation. The heated pool and the hot tub was amazing. Everyone staying on the property were extremely friendly. For someone who had never experienced the uniqueness of this hotel I felt comfortable and safe. We stayed in 3 different rooms over the course of the stay, mainly because of the flight cancellations and having to make additional reservations. All rooms were great with each offering a different view and slightly different set up. Worth the stay for sure for a newbie or someone who has experience staying in this unique type of hotel. We will be back again in sure!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I have stayed at Inn on the Drive several times before, and each time has been a wonderful experience. The rooms are always perfectly cleaned and maintained, the proximity to the Drive cannot get better, the grounds are beautiful and well maintained, but the highlight has to be the friendly yet professional service from Michael. He is always so kind and attentive, and always goes out of his way to make sure my stay is perfect!
