Reviews and Ratings
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.
I had a mixed experience at the Selma Hotel. The service was friendly but not professional, and the location was historic, which added to the experience of being in Selma. However, the dining options were disappointing, and the water quality was poor. Overall, an average stay with some ups and downs.
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.
