My family and I traveled to the Selma area to celebrate our family reunion. Very exciting time for us since we only have the opportunity to gather once every other year. The St. James Hotel served as the host for our memorable event. The rooms were very dated. Poor lighting in the stairway. The windows in the guest room did... more

First of all...the drive into Selma was extremely unsettling!! My husband and I were quite shaky about parking and actually getting out of our car to check in. We are "welcomed" at the front desk by Gail--on her cell phone. After about five minutes, she told the party on the other end of the line that she would have to... more

Part of a roadtrip, we ended up in Selma. Alabama . And I am old enough to remember Martin Luther King. We 'dropped in' the St James and it was wonderfu. Pleasant surprise. Nicely done. Have I said I liked the St. James yet? Hotel was slow, and, we are in the business so we got upgraded to a corner... more

Spent overnight here with 4 fellow Craig AFB graduate Pilots from 1963. Exactly what we need for our 45th Anniversary Reunion in April, 2008. Planning our entire weekend around the hotel and visits to the base and local area. more

We arrived late Saturday afternoon, just before dark, and were disappointed to see the downtown area where the hotel is located basically abandoned looking. I would not have felt safe to get out and... more

Beware of this hotel! I was told this was a renovated hotel in Selma that overlooks the Alabama River downtown, boy was the comments wrong! The staff was not customer service oriented, especially Veronica, I asked her about making reservations at the desk after checking the hotel online at hotels.com, she said we have no availabilities. So I waited 15... more

Went to Selma in March 2006 for weekend during their historical home tour. The hotel was located in downtown Selma. The downtown area itself is dead....boarded up buildings, no pedestrians, etc. Did not feel like the safest place to stay. Hotel was "renovated recently", but looked tired and worn. Several lamps in the rooms did not have light bulbs. Room... more

I stayed at the St. James on June 24, '05. It was renovated/restored about 8 years ago as a private/public venture and I would say that it appears to be a success. The hotel is situated on the banks of the river near the Edmund Pettus bridge that the freedom marchers walked over on their way to Montgomery in 1965.... more
