The Stricklin Hotel

We normally enjoy staying here when we visit Florence. We love the building and location and it's always clean. However, on this particular stay, each morning the cleaning personnel starting cleaning out the rooms surrounding our room at 8:30am..dragging furniture across the floor, slamming trash cans down, and even talking loudly to each other while in the room adjacent to ours. The walls seem paper thin and you can hear everything. Not everyone wakes up at the crack of dawn. We come to Florence to visit my Gf's family and we normally stay for 2-3 days at a time. We enjoy the Florence nightlife. We expect to be able to sleep in and not be woken up early by cleaning/noise for a room that doesn't even need to be ready until 2pm for check in! The hotel should be more aware of clients who are still in their room resting in the morning and NOT service those rooms adjacent u til a reasonable hour (check out is 11am!)The number one reason we get a hotel is to SLEEP and even sleep in. The hotel staff had NO awareness or courtesy 2 mornings in a row. Also, there is an access door that loudly slams every time anyone goes through it. That also contributes to the unwanted noises in the mornings. The hotel should put thin felt strips around the inner door frame to decrease the slamming noise it makes. If you do stay here, and you wish to enjoy your morning by sleeping in I suggest getting a room at the far end of a hallway and GOOD LUCK!
