First tip: if you're in a room with a tub and shower, pull down on the tub spout rim to activate the shower. I took a weird bird bath until someone told me how that works. Tip 2: if you call the desk after hours, hold on through the message and someone is always on call. I would gladly stay here again in a back corner room. I was in 302, where the view was terrible but the space was excellent for doing a workout between the bed and tv stand. It was quiet. I love the exposed brick and the decor but wonder why there are two gorgeous light fixtures flaming the bed with a switch by the bathroom

The location was amazing. Staff was extra friendly (even when we couldnt get our mobile key to work- we called them at 1AM and they fixed it right away)! Room was so cozy and bed was incredible!! Even though there is a bar downstairs, we brought a fan and couldnt hear any noise. My husband and I are both teachers and coaches, so we needed a little getaway. Everything was absolutely perfect. We will be staying here when we visit Florence.

Beautiful hotel on Florence's main drive. We originally booked our stay for a month ago but had to change it twice due to my husband being in the hospital--I called to change dates twice thinking they'd say no refunds on cancellation like most hotels (especially day of), but the Stricklin was amazing and accommodating and easily changed our dates for us. So already the stay was off to a good start. We finally got to fulfill our booking last night. Super sweet front desk worker, very comfortable rooms and a beautiful modern style. Our room overlooked Court Street and all of downtown Florence

If there were a microwave or a small fridge or would have been so much better. The staff was nice and polite, the room was cute, and our was right in the center of the town.
