Top Children's Museum of the Shoals Hotel Reviews

Clarion Inn Sheffield Muscle Shoals

10/10 Excellent

"The place was perfect. Nothing fancy. Clean rooms, friendly staff, comfortable beds, good water pressure. OK, so the couch in our room was terribly uncomfortable, but we'll definitely stay here again next year for ShoalsFest."

Renaissance Shoals Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was very comfortable, and the staff was friendly. The shower products were nice. We enjoyed the 360 Grill for lunch and Swampers for breakfast."

Comfort Suites Florence Shoals Area

10/10 Excellent

"I was in Florence for a music festival at the macfarland park. The hotel was in a great location with many restaurants and stores around. The property felt very safe and any staff I encountered were friendly and welcoming. The room has great space, a comfortable bed, excellent shower. My only negative comment is but about the hotel it's the city. Florence does not have hardly any rideshare vehicles, even after the festival, Saturday, at 10:00 pm... crickets. Just know that and you are good."
