We arrived late at night and were placed in a double queen room even though we booked a King Room. When we got to the room on the 3rd floor we called the front desk and explained the room was not the one we booked, she told us to come downstairs and it would be fixed. However after getting back downstairs with our 1 year old and all of our stuff we were told the room could not be changed back because a manager changed the room. First because of us being two adults and a child, then it was changed based on the price we paid (idk where they got the price from it wasn’t the same as anything we paid). Our room was changed three times without us being notified. First from a King Bed to a King Bed with a couch, then to a double queen room. We were given the option to either cancel the reservation and wait to get our money back or basically just deal with what we had. We were only in town for two days so we didn’t want to cancel, rebook, and wait. Even though there was a king bed room available when we arrived, they couldn’t put us in that room even though it was what we booked and it showed on our reservation. I suggest calling and double checking that you are getting the correct room before arrival or you might be stuck in a room you don’t want or find functional.

It’s a historic hotel with character. It was reminiscent of New Orleans so it has potential, however it’s Selma. The hotel is lovely and quaint. We felt like we were the only ones there. We certainly were the only ones in the dining room. The bed was fabulous and the room was spacious.

This was not a good stay! There was a roach on our bed so they had to change our room. Once leaving the front desk person didn’t acknowledge us and say good morning or ask how our stay was. I’m big on customer service and she definitely needs customer service training. I will be calling corporate

The place is beautiful and clean, the bed was beyond comfortable, and the staff could not have been more helpful. If you’re visiting Selma to see the Edmund Pettis Bridge, this is the place to stay

I love this hotel . The staff is always amazing . The restaurant is delicious. My room had several very dirt spots on the walls and the shower. Tile was missing in the shower and the bottom of the shower was dirty or stained. The hotel was full so there really was no fixing this or changing rooms

History in the making
Every inch bespeaks the life-altering history of this hotel and its nearby environs, including the famed bridge where the march to freedom broke down barriers and continues to beam hope for a future of union an peace among us all. A spectacularly scenic spot on the river that invites charming birds and offers respite from troubles and toils. The corner unit we had with a giant balcony made for a memory-making stay.

My booked room was unavailable. I called the morning of my stay to confirm my reservation. When I arrived, I was told the hotel was all booked up. It took more than one hour for a room to be found. The registration clerk was not present at the desk for periods of time. If I left the room, I could not use the key card to get back in the room. This room was damp and not fully equipped with a shower curtain, microwave or fridge as the room. This room caused my husband to sneeze constantly and become stuffed up nasally. We were finally moved to a better room at 8 pm that had a microwave, fridge, and nicely appointed sink and separate toilet room with shower. The lighting was poor in the toilet/ shower room. This caused us to miss the start of the event we were in town for that began at 7 pm. The clerk apologized and did give us a discount on the hotel room price. Also, the breakfast which is an additional cost was very disappointing consisting only of a packaged muffin, Greek yogurt with tiny cups of granola and cranberry; and small cup of blueberries with one sliced strawberry.
The listed rating of Excellent (8.2) is not true at all!!

The room was nice, 👍 no hangers in the closet. When we arrived the room wasn’t ready, so we were told it would take about 25 minutes to complete, then we waited about 15 minutes, then someone else arrived and told us that we could’ve had another room instead of waiting. The view from the room was 👍. Since we had the wait, we did ask about a free lunch, was told no. It was still a nice place. 😊

The hotel is great, a little old and crusty in places, but that is part of its charm. Verandas are nice but need chairs. Parking is a little iffy, but I noticed police checking out the area all the time.

The room was nice but the key machine was broken and we didn’t get a room key until the 2nd night of our stay. We had to be escorted to our room and let in by hotel staff for 2 days. The balcony was littered with food plates and beer bottles.

I could not check-in. The hotel system was down, and they didn't know which rooms were clean. Clean? Aren't ALL rooms supposed to be clean? There were three other couples there for a 6 pm wedding; this happened at 5 pm, and all the staff could do was shrug it off. Other people at the wedding said they didn't have air conditioning, one room had no power, and one had a very leaky AC unit—just a horribly run hotel. The bridesmaid's sister worked there, said they have serious staff issues, people would leave and not return during shifts, quit, fired for theft and other nefarious activities, As nice as it may seem, it should not hold a HIlton branding. Top it off with the surroundings, not safe.
