I stay at Gunrunner every time I'm in Florence or Muscle Shoals - usually for work. It's like coming to my second home. The check-in is easy and the people are welcoming, the room and bed are super comfortable, and it's much more of an experience than staying at a dreary, common hotel room.

Must stay

Stay was excellent, the room was well setup. Could be a little extra cleaning. The common area/ bar was outstanding and really the best part of the hotel. Walls are a little thin, neighbor was celebrating aittle long and late. Overall, would highly recommend it

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
We selected this hotel for a baseball tournament. The music in the lobby did not end until 10 pm. We had to be at the baseball field at 745. The rooms were dusty, and bugs were flying around; the hotel does not own the coffee shop, and it didn’t open until 8 am, and on Sundays, it’s closed that was so disappointing and inconvenient the amount of money we paid that weekend for this hotel was ridiculous

It was unique, a little hip/funky, beautiful, comfortable and well-situated in the middle of downtown Florence. I note that I could hear the bar and music, but the bar closed around 10:00, when I went to bed. It took a little while to get hot water, but then it was fine. There needs to be better instructions to operate the (useful!) electronic devices & it would help to tell people that registration is at the bar.

It was not very accessible. An elevator would've been nice to help get luggage up to the main level. Also, our room needed an extra mirror in the living space and better lighting. Most of the time there was no one around to ask questions, help, etc. A phone # is nice, but not like having a real person to talk with.

We adored our 2 night stay at The Gunrunner! The downtown Florence location was delightful. Easy to walk about this charming town. The uniqueness of this locally owned boutique hotel was worth the price. Exquisitely comfortable beds! Lovely gathering space that all rooms opened out onto. Rooftop deck was beautiful. Highly recommend!

This was the second time I’ve stayed with Gunrunner. At the last visit there was zero parking due to the bar guests however I was able to arrive at check in time prior to the bar peek and found a spot. I did find it gross that the body wash and hand cleanser were only half full. I went to target,which is thankfully close by,and purchased my own. Still, paying over 400 dollars a night I should’ve had complimentary soap. The bar was severely understaffed. I waited over 45 minutes for a drink. Ended up ordering two and just went to my room. The room i stayed in was the Smithsonian and it was cozy/comfy. I will comment though that it was exceptionally loud all night long. There should be a curfew so that paying guests can sleep. The coffee shop is a new area since my last visit. I didn’t stop in but it smelt amazing as I was leaving and seemed to be a popular spot.

Almost everything was great, but it would have been better if there were someplace to hang towels or toiletry bags in the bathroom. There were no towel bars or hooks, and there was plenty of space for them to be added.
