Categories

Cleanliness
7.5
Mostly described as clean and 'safe and clean' by multiple guests, though a few reports mention an 'old wet carpet smell' and an ant problem in one room, producing mixed but overall acceptable cleanliness.
Service
8.7
Consistently praised staff (DeeDee at front desk, Donna at breakfast) described as helpful, friendly and professional; one manager-related service failure noted but overshadowed by many positive service mentions.
Location
7.5
Location is mentioned positively by some guests and used as a reason to return; a few guest confusions about the property listing were noted but no strong location negatives.
Room Quality
6.5
Rooms had positives (comfortable beds, cozy) but several operational and condition issues were reported: non-working TV, reports of ants, and at least one comment about wet/old carpet and perceived overpriced rooms.
Amenities
6
Amenities mixed: hotel is pet-friendly and has a breakfast area, but key amenities were frequently unavailable or problematic (pool and hot tub closed, bumpy elevator), lowering this score.
Value for Money
6
Multiple guests called the rooms overpriced, noted a pet deposit, and complained about rate increases tied to local events; perception of poor value influenced this lower score.
Food and Beverage
8.3
Breakfast repeatedly praised and staff running breakfast (Donna, others) called kind and helpful; food/beverage offering considered a strong point overall.
Overall Experience
7.9
Many guests described the stay as 'incredible', 'home away from home', and praised the staff and breakfast; a minority of negative experiences (smell, ants, closed pool, TV issues) made the overall impression good but not excellent.

i likely would not stay there again
Pros:

the staff was helpful, and pleasant. the morning breakfast was good.

Cons:

the tv in the room would not work, the desk clerk came to our room to try to fix and we could not get a signal. he mentioned a possible partial refund, i have not seen anything. the side doors not working was an inconvenience

Manager told me she would take care of me from an incident from a previous visit. Manager didn’t
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Rooms over-priced and the entire hotel smells wet. Old wet carpet smell, as if the hotel flooded and the carpets were never replaced.

Expensive, nice, but under the above-mentioned circumstances, not worth the price.
Pros:

Deedee at front desk- she was awesome! Was grateful to have a nice, safe place to stay to get away from the storm, and somewhere that is pet friendly! Very comfy beds and cozy room. :)

Cons:

On the downside, the elevator was bumpy and the pool and hot tub were closed. It was a pricy stay, especially with the pet deposit, so this was a disappointment. I was also shocked to see a tattered flag on the flag pole- especially in tropical storm conditions. Flag etiquette is a thing, and this is disrespectful to our great country and our armed forces.

They never replied to my room request; because they don't have a pond.: they could have said so....
Pros:

I thought I was reserving at Selma NORTH CAROLINA. I went there and spent the night.
All of your message just say SELMA, so why would I be reading down to see that address when I KNOW the address from staying there before. I just wanted to boost my Genius level. Dumb me.

Cons:

Put every large-letter mention of the name WITH the state abbreviation. Would that kill the vibe?
Also. the front of their motel looks like the front of the NC motel.

Incredible stay
Pros:

The hotel was wonderful! It was beautiful, homey, and the service was amazing! The front desk woman, Deedee, was so incredibly helpful and nice. She was absolutely exuding energy and kindness. Donna at breakfast was equally amazing. She was so helpful and so incredibly kind. It was overall a fantastic stay!

Home away from home
Pros:

From the time I checked in until check out, the entire staff was friendly, professional and ready to assist.
Dee Dee is top notch! She's always bubbly, helpful and asking what can she do to make our stay better.
The breakfast bar & area is always nice, clean with fesh hot food. I don't remember the young lady that's over there but, she does a great job as well.
Hampton Inn is our go to whenever we're in Selma, keep up the good work!

I’ll rather drive home and back next time to Selma rather stay at this hotel because it was unfair to have pool closed f
Pros:

It was clean

Cons:

The fact that they changed the rate to a higher rate because of the park having games and the traffic the hotel would attract with there not being many in the area. Then they closed the pool because they didn’t want to be bothered by the kids being in the pool was not cool. It was hot and they needed something to do after the game.

Alabama wedding...
Pros:

The hotel is clean and new looking. Deedee at the front desk is one of the kindest, most happy people you will meet. She even shared a dance with me when my jam came on :)
They offer a full, delicious warm breakfast with all the fixings...but between Donna and Jiane, they keep the buffet ABSOLUTELY SPOTLESS. Everything is neat, clean, pleasant, great tasting...no matter how many people are there.

All in all, a very nice stay. Appreciate the work.

Great Experience
Pros:

Hotel was very clean. All staff were friendly and helpful. DeeDee at the front desk was amazing. I felt like I made a new friend! She was very accommodating and made me feel like family instead of a guest. Highly recommend this hotel and DeeDee.
