Excellent value! We had to hit the road early so we loved that breakfast started at 5:30 AM. Good choices for breakfast and it was tasty. Beds were comfortable and it’s an older property, but things were in good repair and they have updated a number of things. The important things were clean and I would’ve given five stars but the baseboards need to be dusted. We absolutely would return.

The check-in process was seamless and quick, the room was immaculately clean, and everyone I encountered was friendly and kind. Best of all, the continental breakfast the next morning was amazing. Homemade biscuits and gravy, delicious cinnamon buns, and a nice selection of yogurt and drinks, good coffee too. I was only passing through, but I’ll be sad if I never return to the Lodge at Russell – might make a special trip just for the pleasure
