I booked our stay through hotels.com. This motel has really gone down hill since the photos on the website were taken. Our room had large dents in the walls - it looked like people had been fighting and thrown into the wall honestly. The bathtub wasn't clean, so we skipped taking ashower. The walls aren't very thick so you could hear what was going on in the other rooms. We will NEVER stay here again.

The room was somewhat clean, looked like the bed was just straightened up from the last tennant with no fresh bedding. The towels were clean for very used towel. The mirror was still dirty from prevous tennants. The floor was swept but not mopped. The pullows were very,very used flat and not comfortable. The premises were somewhat quiet but questionable. No breakfast. If it was no one told us.

Penny pinching manage

They are under going a remodel, there was only a bed and a broken chair in my room. I work nights while I'm out of town and when I showed up in the morning the lights I left on were turned off. I said something to the female manager and she said she goes in and turn everyone's light and tvs off when they are not in. When I told her she could not just go in to do that I was told that she owns the place and can do what ever she wants. I will not stay here again ever.

Don't be fooled by the pictures and few amenities.

Stayed there for 3 nights, and on one of the days, no one bothered to show up with "fresh" towels or to change the linens, so my husband tracked down the towel lady. The room stank when we first got there, so maybe someone just needed to open the doors to let in the fresh air. The bed was uncomfortable, but thankfully I always take my own pillow on vacation, so at least I wasn't in as much pain as my husband was. The "fresh" towels are yellow with age, and one even had some sort of black residue which I was told would not wash out, so I picked out a "cleaner" looking one for my 7 year old daughter. The WiFi was terrible, and there really wasn't a breakfast to speak of. Also the pool was still covered which makes me think there is something wrong with it. This is the hotel that you stay in when all other hotels are already booked in Selma. Unless Budget Inn is your other choice, America's Best is better than my horrible experience at Budget Inn years ago. Do your best to book early when staying in Selma to stay away from the bad hotels.

Not worth the money!

It is not worth the money that we paid. The photo posted on Expedia is much nicer then real facilities... I booked this one based on the photo, it looks clean & modern. There was no lights on the sign & parking lot. We only saw one staff on the site for the morning & night, and while very nice, she could not answer our question. For this level of "INN" in a small town, the rate should be under $45.00.

A nice stay

We had a nice stay. Room was clean. Bed was comfortable. My only complaint was that at 9am, their continental breakfast was only white bread (that could be toasted luckily) and cheerios and milk and orange juice. I'm not sure if breakfast was actually over by then, but choices were limited.

Never stay here!!!!

Thank God I asked to view a room before staying. The room had holes in the walls, bugs, and the quilts had holes in it. I told the hotel owner and she was beyond rude. I canceled the room and I still was charged. I almost had to call the cops to get my refund. I spent double the amount at another hotle but it was worth it. p.s another customer arrived and had the same complaint.

Embarrased

I had booked this hotel for two members of my group. They were to arrive late, so I called the hotel, directly, the day before, to confirm the bookings. The clerk was impossible to understand---very thick Indian accent. She could not locate one of the reservations. I had to have Hotels.com call her and "help" her find it. This took a lot of time from my business. When my group members arrived, one was given a room that smelled badly of smoke, though I had booked non-smoking. The other member had trouble sleeping, because the strong smell of garlic was overwhelming at the whole complex. Very BAD experience!!!!

Surprisingly nice room for a reasonable price

I arrived very late at night after having to work late at my office four hours away, but the clerk was so very nice even though I had awakened her to check me in. The motel does not look very nice from the outside and is in a terrible run down town, but I was very pleased with the spacious clean room and the good bed.

Interesting Experience

After booking online and indicating very clearly that we were traveling with two service dogs, the woman at the reception desk wanted to charge us an additional $100 for the dogs. As soon as I told her I was going to call hotels.com, she said we were ok. We had to be put in three different rooms due to broken TVs, broken water, etc. but we had a dry night of sleep.

On of the worst stays I have ever had.

After an 8 hour drive from Dallas, TX for a funeral, we needed to rest. Upon our arrival they couldn't find our paid reservation. The first room we were given was nice, but we had requested smoking. No problem, the change was made quickly to a smoking room. The room was terrible; the bed was poorly made, the pillows were almost non existent and the shower had mold. Yes, I understand that smokin hs been banded in most hotels, but even smoking visitors deserve a modicrum of respect and cleanliness as paying customers. The worst events happened at 10 pm. Approximately 15 -20 individuals were having a party in the parking lot. Managment acted as if this was the normal course of business. We called the front desk to complain, her suggestion was to change our room; not call the police. All of the rooms exit to the parking lot, how was this suppose to help. We checked out without even partial a refund, after four hours. And they tried to double billed us! If yu are going to be in the Selma, AL area, DO NOT stay at this hotel. Spend the extra an reserve a room at one of the larger hotel chains.

Mixed emotions. Be prepared to eat out.

Mixed feeling about this hotel. The king bed was pillowtop and very comfortable. The room was clean and comfy. The only issue was the toilet. Water wasn't filling the tank. Turned the knob down by the floor to no avail. No water. Had to fill using the sink to be able to flush. But the worst thing about the hotel was the breakfast. Had a waffle iron. Not turned on because there was not batter. Plenty of syrup in the cabinet. No batter. Bread was more mold than bread. Just laying out for over an hour because no one attended to the breakfast. Too embarrassed to go in there to clean up, so pathetic stuff just sitting there for the next people to come in and see. Had nice juice machine. Didn't work properly, so there was a gallon of milk and orange DRINK in a small fridge. Pastries were hard. The muffins were the only things that seemed fresh and tasted the way you would have expected. No breakfast would have been better than what was offered here. Be aware and prepared to not eat on the premises. The room was better than expected. The toilet and the breakfast needs to be flushed.

just ok, nothing special

Make sure you have a copy of your reservations as when I arrived they did not have me down for having a reservation. The room itself was ok nothing special, fairly clean nice size king bed. Never checked out breakfast but it didn't look like anything too spectacular. Overall this hotel was ok for the price and location.
