This is a pretty nice little place all things considered. No its not the fanciest place but its also not the newest or most expensive either. At 6'5" I appreciate the raised shower head, nice comfortable bed too. The made to order FREE breakfast is a huge + as well. The desk lady was real nice when I got here too. There was plenty of room for me to bring a 9 axle in, but watch the south drive with an RGN so you don't get high centered. This might not be the best neighborhood, but judging strictly on the hotel I will stay here again.
I absolutely love this hotel. Great friendly and helpful staff. Clean rooms, gen breakfast, & laundry, plus rewards program.... Beneficial in many ways
Great price. Nice rooms and comfortable beds. Really nice place, quality for your money. Pleasant staff.
THEY SERVE BREAKFAST! The place is not ideal on looks, but they have a great price compared to their competition and you don't have to worry about breakfast. Basically, you get what you pay for. You get room service everyday, free self parking, and okay customer service. This is a great spot if you're on a budget or.just trying to get away for a few days. Again, they do serve breakfast for free if I remember correctly. Now it's not a super crazy buffet type of breakfast, you get what you pay for. They serve cereal, yogurt, cinnabon muffins, orange juice, bagels w/cream cheese, etc. However, if you don't make it on time to breakfast, you're just out of luck. Free warning! Thanks for reading this!
It's ok, my room was clean, bed was comfortable. Front desk guy was friendly. Look it's an older place if you want a 5 star hotel ho pay for it. For 50 Buck's a night this place is good.
We were in Selma for a funeral recently due to our schedule we arrived at 7 am the day of the funeral I called the day before and made arrangements for early check in. The staff graciously allowed us to check in early to rest and get ready for the funeral. They even upgraded us to a king room at no additional cost. They were very courteous to us, and treated us very well. The room was very clean and while a little older establishment the bed was fabulous and after a 12 hour drive it was a blessing. If we are ever there again we will be checking in again.

The customer service was outstanding. And the rooms were clean.
