The St. James is a lovely historical hotel with a friendly staff. If you stay, reserve a room on the river with a view of the bridge. Be sure to visit the Voting Rights Museum and the park/shop at the base of the bridge. We are so glad we visited the city. We just wish Selma could be revitalized because it deserves that. It’s sad to see that so many beautiful buildings have become run-down.

The staff is horrible! They charged my card for my 2 night stay, but I already paid in full 2 weeks prior via Expedia.com. When I called to dispute the charges, the front desk clerk lied about her name. I learned the truth after I asked to speak with the manager. I still have not received a callback regarding the issue, very disappointed. The staff is very unreliable, responsiveness is less than satisfactory. I will never stay here again.

Very nice accommodations and renovations captured the elegance of the old Selma I remember when growing up. The staff members were professional, friendly & helpful. It has a beautiful courtyard with relaxing music, ideal for sitting outside and eating breakfast or having a glass of wine in the late afternoon (weather permitting). Very convenient location.

The only issue we had was the fire alarm went off at 1:30am and staff did not know how to disarm it once they determined there was no fire, I totally agree that the fire department should have been called as they were, however guests should have been alerted not to panic in a more timely manner, otherwise the property is nicely maintained and the location is awesome!! Having a functional restaurant on the property would have been amazing as there are few places to choose from otherwise.

The hotel is quite a bit of history. Unfortunately, our room (overlooking the river and the bridge) had a door handle problem to the balcony. They moved us to another room and made it right, so kudos to them. The restaurant & bar were closed for rennovations, but you could still sit in that area and have a beer. Call before you book (through March 2024) to see if they have re-opened the restaurant & bar.

Horrible Experience
This was an horrible experience. When I got in the room it was too late and I was tired to ask for another room. Also, I clean my own room and use my own towels anyways, whenever I travel to hotels. Their was no cable TV the whole week. I also went without internet for two days, which had me backed up at work, because I am a remote worker. The first thing I noticed when walking into the room was the stale smell. I went into the bathroom, and there were stains and hair on the toilet seat from the last visitor. The shower had hair and also the sink. When I decided to leave a day early to catch up on my work, they would not refund me for the last day. It was either stay in those conditions or leave, and I had to leave. I had to drive almost five hours to office, which I do not work from, just to finish out the week for one day. Then I had to turn around and drive seven hours back home. I lost a lot of money and time dealing with them, when it was their fault. I will never go back their. I have a few pictures and wished I would have taken more, but I had already cleaned the room myself. Hotels.com tried to get me back the refund for the last day, but the hotel refused to cooperate.

For a Hilton property, a number of little problems: inroom phone didn't work; TV had no reception (cable problem); no liquid soap in shower (but had conditioner and body lotion); 1 small bar soap; NO hair dryer; wifi code wouldn't log me in. Front desk staff DID offer us another room when the lack of phone was identified. Not enough attention to details by cleaning staff.
