We have stayed at this location before. They continue to keep their high standards for comfort and cleanliness. When I arrived since I had prepaid for my room, my information was verified and I was handed the keycard for my room. Felt just like home. The hall carpeting seems to have been updated and everything was fresh and clean. The bath towels are huge! Our king bed was very comfortable and a good choice of pillows. It was nice to have extended breakfast hours for the weekend. We love being able to sleep in. The 2 choices of waffles was a new experience too. My only request is if the cleaning lady could wait to mop the lobby until after breakfast hours. The smell of Pine-Sol while you are eating sausage gravy and biscuits does not mix well. I can appreciate that they have a lot to do in a small amount of time but it would make dining more pleasant.
For the price, Baymont by Wyndham is an ok deal. It's location is close to dozens of restaurants. It's quiet, right off the main road. Our room for 3 was smaller than other Baymonts we've stayed in, with 2 double beds instead of queens, but we made it work. The beds were very comfy and the pillows were just right. Shower pressure was outstanding! The staff was friendly, breakfast was decent, featuring the magic conveyor belt pancake maker! We had a few stinkbugs visit the room...they zip in when the door is open, so be on the lookout for them when it's damp and rainy. Overall, for sleeping on the cheap, our stay was good.
I have been staying in this hotel since the first month it opened in the summer of 2005. While I don’t get the opportunity to return as often as I’d like anymore this was my second stay in two years. While the hotel is still under mild construction for a rebrand, it was still an excellent stay. From the check in, to the newly renovated room which was virtually spotless. The bed and pillows were comfortable with a large bathroom and a beautiful balcony. I would have liked if management opted for a vinyl floor instead of carpet, but for now it’s clean and looking good. Dinner and drinks at the Swampers was excellent, as was breakfast. As shown in my other reviews my standards are pretty high but there is nothing I can fault here, just an awesome Marriott. The only thing that would have made my stay better would have been the suite upgrade I received last time as an elite Bonvoy member. Maybe next time.
What a discovery !!! The Stricklin is a recently repurposed and renovated establishment. Very modern, very clean and pretty quiet given its location on North Court Street. We booked a large room which looked onto North Court Street. Well worth paying the extra. Although the hotel itself has no bar nor dining facilities there are franchises on the property which provide these. A bonus for live music lovers is a bar immediately next door which features live performances several days a week. We were touring Alabama and visiting the main local recording centres at Muscle Shoals. Florence was a great base for visiting these. Parking arrangements are weird. The hotel has no dedicated lot and there is metered parking all around - but you don't pay. If you do get a ticket then just tell reception. Would definitely return.
