Bright, airy renovations. Our room was on second floor in older part. Great sleep - comfy bed and good temperature control in room. Breakfast was fine (yogurt and fruit). Understand they are short staff snd that was evident in some odd ways - no soap in room snd solving that took a long time, no one at front desk or in dining room in the morning. People were in the building, but covering multiple jobs, I think. Friendly staff. I would not stay any other place - it’s right at the Pettus Bridge and the NPS interpretive center.

One of the lamps was missing its lampshade.

It was in an excellent location for what we wanted, the Pettus bridge. We are doing the Civil Rights Trail. It was clean and a little old fashioned, historic, which we liked. It is a beautiful old building. The staff was lovely and accommodating.

That there was only one chair, which made it uncomfortable to do anything but be in bed.

The property itself is amazing. A lot of history here. The staff, Lucas, and sherica, the day clerk are very, very professional, and need arsise,lol,. This is the 2nd time staying her and would highly recommend it.

Nothing.. the back door locking mechanism wasn't functioning correctly. But it was all good.

It truly is a beautiful hotel. Beautiful view of the river and bridge. Clean and comfortable. Friendly atmosphere.

The person who checked us in was training someone. She seemed to have a very condescending attitude towards the trainee and the guest. The amenity soaps and shampoo bottles that are on the shower wall were empty, as well as the hand soaps in the common area bathrooms.

The location downtown by the river was pleasant. I loved that it was a rehabbed vintage property. The elevator was good for my sister. Everything was so clean.

Basically nothing. Maybe the fact that we only had one night there. I would like to have explored the architecture and history of the town more!

More than expected "continental". Milk, and hot water for tea, and tea unavailable. Beautiful atrium, accommodating staff. Lovely view from great 2nd floor veranda. Beautiful flowera

Nothing that couldn't be overlooked as it was the first day opening!

Very clean compared to the surrounding area. Room was small, cozy, and felt historical.

Parking is on the street and the area doesn’t feel very safe although we didn’t have any problems. The door to the room didn’t open or close unless you forced it to. No extra toilet paper in the room. We called down at 4:00am upon discovery and were told to come down and get it ourselves. We didn’t and thankfully someone brought us some about an hour later.

Loved the old uniqueness to the property with the new remodeling done to the room.

I wish they had a pantry with snacks and drinks (other than soda) That would have made this stay perfect. Not that it wasn’t good but for me if there isn’t a store around where do you get snacks?

This hotel was great. I’d stay here over any big name hotel 10 times out of 10. It was very clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful, the gym was nice with great equipment. The interior of the hotel was beautiful and very well maintained.

The St. James in Selma, AL. is a very nice and lovely restored hotel in Selma. We’d like to come back. Our room was clean and gad an individual, hospitable touch. The breakfast and dinner room is inviting.

Breakfast options are OK. (less plastic would add a touch.) For dinner better stay with burgers…
