We enjoyed our stay at this charming historic hotel. The room was nicely appointed, and the staff was helpful. We would certainly stay at the St. James again.

I'm sad to see that there is very little love and care of room 312 that I stayed in at this historic hotel. The room was smelly (from smoke, perhaps?) and the HVAC fan never turned off, making it not peaceful. There were multiple holes in the wall, cobwebs and dust on the headboards. The cheap plastic toilet seat was broken. There is only one light source in the room - a lamp by the bedside that was not connected to the light switch near the door. When I asked to be switched to a different room after the first night, I was refused. The public spaces are kept up well enough. But I did not enjoy my stay at all.

Lovely property. There's a beautiful courtyard that is surrounded by all the room doors. Spacious balconies for each floor surround the building. The surrounding area is that of a downtown that has fallen into ruin. Lots of empty builds. Not pleasing to look at, but the hotel is a beauty despite a downtown that is long gone I paid a few dollars extra to have a room on the river side. It is so nice to eat my breakfast on the balcony while looking at the historic Edmund Pettis bridge which is a block away. The room doors need a coat of paint, but otherwise the property is beautiful. I would definitely stay here again

The hotel itself is amazing, the staff is friendly and the view inside the courtyard and from the balcony were historically breathtaking.

Beware when making reservations.
Beware when booking. I booked a balcony over the river. Upon arriving they were sold out. There were 5 cars in the parking lot when I left this morning at 5am. When leaving, there was no drop box or anyone behind the desk. Had to leave my room key under the mouse and call them when I was on the road. Beautiful place, clean and comfortable and probably the safest option in Selma. Also, the staff was not at the desk upon arriving, had to wait 10 minutes, and when said person walked in they smelled of **** and talking on their cell phone while waiting on me.

Although there was a heavy gas smell as we walked to our rooms, we were told, "No problem. It's only in the courtyard." The rooms surrounded the courtyard so, indeed, it was a problem. Although we were told breakfast came with the room, there was no breakfast available nor were we given any credit. No working TV. No TV remote. No working telephone. No one at checkout. Room keys expired before we checked out. The incidental charges of $50/room times 2 rooms ($100) were not used but still charged so I need to notify my credit card about having them removed. Hotel was being closed for renovations as we checked out.

They Gotta Do Better
There were uncovered outlets and patches on the walls. The food was meh and I paid for breakfast but the cook called out. Staff was not noticeably friendly and I left with 3 bug bites on my arm and one above my eyebrow after sleeping in the bed.
