Greeted in English! At 10 pm, coffee/tea and cookies waiting for me to have a snack before bed, available in lobby by check in. Clean room! Clean sheets! Thick towels! Even a clean rag if you needed one! Step in shower, ice cold refrigerator, and in room coffee maker. Window curtains totally closed over window! I had a special but they still did give me a different room at the same price because of handicap. Breakfast was cinnamon rolls, not the prepackaged stuff, oatmeal, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, cereal, milk, juice, scrambled eggs, omelet in a pan, biscuits and gravy, waffles, inc chocolate chip, breads to toast, cookies. I may have missed some items. All were friendly and helpful! Good mattress and quiet!

We were pleased with the atmosphere and the decor, impressed, actually, with the "homey" touches in the decor. Loved the giant plants! And the breakfast was delicious every time. My only complaint was the low quality of the toilet tissue. Otherwise, everything was great!

Polite and helpful staff. It’s really showing its age in the rooms. The furniture fell apart, it could use fresh paint and caulking. Take out the old carpet and upgrade the rooms. The parking lot could use repaving. The beds were cozy.

Stay in Russel, not Hays

Actual home cooked breakfast options vs cereal, day old bagels and unripe fruit. There was homemade cinnamon rolls, breakfast scramble with fresh eggs, ham, bacon and sausage with cheese. Homemade biscuits and gravy, waffles and fresh orange juice. The rates are very fair and rooms were nice.

I was in Russell for the Wicked Wilson gravel race. I needed a room for just one night and this satisfied my needs. It's an older facility as was expected. The staff was very friendly. If you're in need of a more updated facility this probably isn't for you. But for my needs it was fine. The one thing I wish I would have done was to bring my own pillow. I didn't have the breakfast but I heard from fellow riders who did that it was good. Overall I enjoyed my time in Russell. If I ride next year I will be back.
