This place is like a retreat!! Fantastic variety of breakfast items to enjoy, the outdoor pool is what our granddaughters loved, our rooms were clean, (our particular room could have used a luggage rack and second chair), and we enjoyed time at the tables and chairs outside our room!! Highly recommend!!

While this is an older motor lodge, they have updated the rooms including better bathrooms and beds. Everything was very clean. TV was strictly streaming which created a few issues. Grounds were a little rough but that didn't really impact anything. Staff was friendly, and available. Breakfast was just ok but better than some I've seen. I would recommend staying here if you're needing a stop in Russell.

lobby and dining room are well maintained and very cozy feeling. The king bed room had water spots on ceiling, tub could use a good scrubbing and had hair in bottom, we didn't use. The rest of the room was clean enough. bed was comfortable. Breakfast was the best we experienced over the last 5 days at different facilities.

The staff was very welcoming and professional. I’ve been traveling a lot lately and this was my best stay for the money! It is an older property, but it’s concrete construction so no booming floors as the person in the room around your room stomps around. The pool looked nice but I didn’t use it . Breakfast was pretty standard aside from the excellent homemade cinnamon rolls! Overall drive a half a block further from the highway and stay at a better place!
