Hotels near Bed Bath & Beyond, Florence

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 really wanted this to be a great experience. The hotel is in a great part of town and it is next to great hotels. This hotel is supposed to be 100% smoke free, but I smelled smoke in the hallways. The bathroom was disgusting. I wish I would have taken pictures of it, but I was so stressed by everything that it didn’t enter my mind until after we checked out. For reference, we stayed on the first floor, last room on the right. I can’t remember the number. The shower looked like it was from the 90s and like it hadn’t been updated in years. Luckily, this hotel was near my family’s house, so we just showered there. The mini shampoo bottles looked like they had been previously used, but I feel like the the staff said “oh no one will notice” and they put it back on the counter for the next guests. The wall outlets were literally hanging off the darn walls. Such a safety hazard. The AC/heater unit is incredibly loud. The people above us sounded like they were practicing for a dancing competition. The hotel was loud in general, you could hear everything outside the door. Oh my favorite thing, walking from the bathroom back to the bed at night, with the lights off, was an adventure. I’m surprised I didn’t knock myself out a few times turning that corner. Not really a complaint, just kind of funny at this point. There was a recliner in the room. It was a dark fabric with quite a few white stains on it. We didn’t touch it. At least the room had a microwave and a mini fridge. Our mini fridge wasn’t working, or it was unplugged or something. My boyfriend swears that it was plugged up, but luckily the maintenance person was able to fix it. FYI: I guess due to the big Rona, they don’t serve a hot breakfast. I think that they just have some breakfast sandwiches and some pastries maybe. Also, our stay was under my boyfriend’s name and email, but I’m writing the review on TripAdvisor under my name and email. Our stay was from 2/11 until 2/13. Like I said, we were in the last room on the right on the first floor. I don’t want anyone from the hotel to clap back saying that I never stayed there because my email or whatever doesn’t match what their system says. My advice to the owner and the manager/management of this hotel: -Please invest the money into updating this hotel. Yes, it is a Quality Inn, but that doesn’t mean that this specific hotel cannot be up to the standards of other Choice Hotel properties. The Comfort Suites across the street from this hotel looks more inviting on the outside than this hotel. -Please shampoo the carpets. -Please shampoo the recliners in the rooms. -Please, for the love of all that is good and holy, please fix the wall outlets in the rooms. -Please invest the money into buying new AC units or at least fixing them. -Please, please, please update the bathrooms. -Please clean the bathrooms. -Please scrub the grim and dirt off the walls in the rooms. -Please add better lighting in the hallways.

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.
