The hotel is quite a bit of history. Unfortunately, our room (overlooking the river and the bridge) had a door handle problem to the balcony. They moved us to another room and made it right, so kudos to them. The restaurant & bar were closed for rennovations, but you could still sit in that area and have a beer. Call before you book (through March 2024) to see if they have re-opened the restaurant & bar.

Horrible Experience
This was an horrible experience. When I got in the room it was too late and I was tired to ask for another room. Also, I clean my own room and use my own towels anyways, whenever I travel to hotels. Their was no cable TV the whole week. I also went without internet for two days, which had me backed up at work, because I am a remote worker. The first thing I noticed when walking into the room was the stale smell. I went into the bathroom, and there were stains and hair on the toilet seat from the last visitor. The shower had hair and also the sink. When I decided to leave a day early to catch up on my work, they would not refund me for the last day. It was either stay in those conditions or leave, and I had to leave. I had to drive almost five hours to office, which I do not work from, just to finish out the week for one day. Then I had to turn around and drive seven hours back home. I lost a lot of money and time dealing with them, when it was their fault. I will never go back their. I have a few pictures and wished I would have taken more, but I had already cleaned the room myself. Hotels.com tried to get me back the refund for the last day, but the hotel refused to cooperate.

For a Hilton property, a number of little problems: inroom phone didn't work; TV had no reception (cable problem); no liquid soap in shower (but had conditioner and body lotion); 1 small bar soap; NO hair dryer; wifi code wouldn't log me in. Front desk staff DID offer us another room when the lack of phone was identified. Not enough attention to details by cleaning staff.

Very nice older hotel, glad to see that it is still in use. The property is clean and updated. Surrounding area of Selma is in pretty bad shape unfortunately.
