Enjoyed a four night stay at the Stricklin Hotel and had a wonderful experience. The room was spotless with clean, minimal decor that made everything feel fresh. Very comfortable bed, great TV coverage, quick, hot water in the shower, and a nice coffee maker in the room. The staff was terrific – true southern hospitality with the room warmed up before I arrived. A delicious breakfast cafe is just off the lobby. Only small downside: I could occasionally hear TVs from neighboring rooms. Overall, a charming, boutique hotel with personal service. I would gladly stay again.

“A Quirky Hotel Experience”

The room was small and basic with an industrial view and a low hum presumably from the plantroom. The bathroom was well equipped but the shower mechanism is, to say the least, interesting.

The room was small and basic with an industrial view and a low hum presumably from the plantroom. The bathroom was well equipped but the shower mechanism is, to say the least, interesting. The staff, on the occasion of our visit, were very friendly and helpful. The location is ideal for those visiting the university and, being cental, is conveniently located for bars and restaurants. The bar adjacent to the hotel is worth a visit for a beer, snack and decent music. Big Bad Breakfast is excellent. There is no dedicated parking and it is likely that a parking fine will be issued for using a public space by the hotel. Any ticket will be dealt with by the hotel staff.

“Bring earplugs, a makeup mirror - and maybe a lap desk”

The walls are like paper. I can hear EVERYTHING that is happening in the rooms next to me- and I do mean everything. I know all about the fact that some other sales rep really f$*%ing hates the dude to my right (who I'm assuming is also a sales rep, and who also apparently couldn't talk on his phon… Plus

The walls are like paper. I can hear EVERYTHING that is happening in the rooms next to me- and I do mean everything. I know all about the fact that some other sales rep really f$*%ing hates the dude to my right (who I'm assuming is also a sales rep, and who also apparently couldn't talk on his phone without pacing/stomping); I THINK that the next person who stayed there had tuberculosis, from all the coughing; I know that the 1st "lady" to my left is very "enthusiastic," if you know what I mean, and that she also can't hold her liquor; I know that the next couple who stayed in that room enjoys tub baths - and talking to the other member of the couple in the next room from the bath (which requires talking loudly); etc. I also was awakened at 2AM by someone smoking weed - it was like they were in the room with me. The rooms are cute - but not very functional - the "desk" is literally 12" wide. The lighting is poor - SUPER-bright bedside lights that you can only turn on and off with a switch that is around the corner from the bed, and SUPER-dim lights in the bathroom. The TV isn't a smart TV, so I had to stream my shows on my laptop. I'm here for 5 nights, so the fact that they don't clean the room unless requested is kind of a pain. I had to ask for new towels, and more coffee pods, coffee cups, and soap. There is a mini-fridge, but no microwave (so, unless you eat something cold, you have to order in or eat out). The location is great, but parking sucks. Overall, I think that it's not worth the price.
