I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms offered a breathtaking view overlooking the Alabama River, despite a minor ceiling leak issue that left the bathroom floor wet. The room temperature stayed consistently warm throughout my stay.

My stay at the Selma Hotel was a delightful experience. The spacious rooms were beautifully furnished in a nice old-fashioned style, offering a cozy atmosphere. The service was top-notch, with staff going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. While the location was superb, providing easy access to downtown Selma and iconic landmarks like the Edmund Pettus Bridge, there were some cleanliness issues in certain areas. Overall, a great value for money with room for improvement in cleanliness.
