Selma. -- 20 miles southeast of Sprott on Al. Highway 14. I have included information below on some of the motels
available. Most convenient would probably be on the west side of Selma along Highway 14 in the area of the above
map labeled "Motels". I have had pretty good luck with Hampton Inn. They are probably about $30 to $40 more than
the other motels nearby. Ramada Inn had clean rooms and reasonable rates -- best rates are available online. Some
motels are listed below.
