St. James Hotel Selma, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

Great!

Our room was lovely. Very spacious. Nice bathroom. Great air conditioning. The hotel is quaint, and the staff friendly. Would love to see more tourism come to this poor town. Not much to walk to from this hotel, at this time. We walked over the Pettus Bridge, stayed at the park there for a bit, and then came to this hotel.

I really wanted to like this hotel. It’s in an area filled with history, on the banks of the river and I typically enjoy places that are unique. This hotel has a lot of potential, but sadly it doesn’t seem to be maintained. From a distance the pictures look great, but once you are there in person the novelty wains. There is no excuse for filth and lack of upkeep. Hilton corporate really needs to step in and assist this property if it isn’t already too far gone. I’ve uploaded several pics showing items caked in dust/dirt in the room. Spider webs on the ceiling fan. Large water stains on the ceiling and a trail of soiled carpet leading through the room. The room and everything in it is damp/wet from the air conditioning not removing the moisture from the air.

My Husband and I traveled here from South Carolina on Wednesday night and got to this hotel Thursday morning about 3am Tired 😴. Well we got checked in and the clerk that night/morning was very pleasant. Well, as we entered in we was like ok, I love 💕 how beautiful it look in the lobby, well as we getting in the elevator, I started to panic but did not tripped! Well when we entered the room it was mold on the vents and ceiling, and the room smells moldy ! The dust that was on the ceiling fan was on the bed !! Lord it was 3 in the morning mind you, so I clean the room down with bleach and Lysol so we could at least get 3 hours of sleep 😴 to get to another hotel but we were supposed to be there a week. The clerk Thursday morning didn’t want to give us a refund back or anything, this hotel doesn’t look nothing like the online pictures we went to Montgomery and got a room there and drive back there for the wedding. Unfortunately this was a Horrible experience and not Healthy !

This was our first visit to Selma, Alabama. We stayed one night to attend the Blackbelt Birding Weekend. The room was comfortable and clean and the bed and pillows were comfortable. The staff was exceptionally friendly and professional and there is free parking. We will stay there again.

We loved our stay here. Our room had a balcony overlooking the river and it was so peaceful and enjoyable. Loved the older building but the room was updated and very comfortable. Will definitely be coming back and plan to stay for a longer visit.

What a charming restored hotel. If you are making a trip to Selma, please do not miss an opportunity to stay here. We had a spacious room overlooking a beautiful courtyard with two very comfortable full beds. The bathroom was full sized, the fixtures were brass. The room was simply, and well appointed, and very clean. Their restaurant is closed right now. Scheduled to reopen soon. Staff professional and courteous.

Restored historic downtown hotel next to the famous bridge. Rooms were recently renovated and clean. Breakfast had a good selection. Hotel staff were helpful and kind. Parking is free and is street parking in front of the hotel. Well lit and security cameras around the building. I was a little skeptical about staying due to previous reviews but so happy I didn't let them be the deciding factor.

St. James hotel was clean, convenient, and accommodating. This was our second stay at this hotel while visiting historic Selma, Alabama. We love having the gorgeous river view and the restaurant next door. We look forward to staying again.
