It was a nice, clean place to stay. The one difficulty was the key. It didn't open the door easily. Also, there weren't many plug-in to recharge our phones. Everything else was good!

Decided to stay in Russell to avoid traffic and noise. The lodge was easy to get to and worked well for my needs. The rooms are comfortable with thoughtful touches that set the stay apart from other hotels. I’d stay again!

Great Value!

This hotel is a great value for the money. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Great staff and breakfast! The thing that I was most mostly disappointed with was the door in the room. NOT very secure!

This hotel was a pleasant surprise in so many ways. Vicky at the desk changed our room, twice! With a smile on her face. The first was upstairs and my spouse just had knee surgery, no elevator. Then I wanted a non-road facing room. No problem. The rooms are adorable and each one decorated a little differently (from my stroll while housekeeping was cleaning rooms) . The housekeeper does an amazing job. The hot breakfast rates top notch and I can compare to Marriotts and a few other local establishments. The coffee is GOOD, as oppose to good enough. They keep complimentary fresh water, tea, all day. There is a rec room with a pool table and fuse ball table, just ask for the balls. It had plenty of sitting and good sound control as we did utilize the room and had family visit there while we were in town. I look forward to returning when the pool is open in the meantime the ground are well kept and nice to take a stroll or jog around. The downtown bar and grill (family friendly) has local raised ribeye and filets only the second Saturday of each month. If you are lucky enough to be in town make that 4 minute drive downtown and do that! The owner grills each personally and it was ah-maze-ing!! The menu items are also all top par. Small town friendly, small town budget friendly, I cannot wait to go back. I have family there but the antique place, accommodations and Wauby’s would be enough to bring me back for a fun & reasonable road trip.

They had many brands of TV's in their rooms making it difficult to find anything on TV. Even the clerk had a hard time to figure it out. I would rate the experience with the TV about 3 out of 10. The staff were very kind.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
When we got there and looked at the room the first one look like it was never vacuumed, had black stuff on the bed and had dead bugs on the floor. The second one they put us in was not vacuumed very good. The third room they put us in had bugs splattered on the walls and had air coming in around the window. I tried to tell the manager about the window and all she did was give me attitude because she said the window was new. I had co workers on the other side of the building and they had trouble with air coming in around the door. Don’t waste your money on this place the building is in bad shape.

Great budget friendly hotel

This is a nice budget friendly hotel. The staff was helpful and kind. The room was adequate. They could use a more accessible outlet for CPAP machines by the bed. The breakfast was awesome. There were scrambled eggs two ways, biscuits and gravy, waffles, cinnamon rolls, yogurt, etc. And the price was very reasonable
