The Lodge at Russell

We stay at this hotel every time we come through. They have a great breakfast and very cute rooms. We got in late and Joyce was very sweet! Definitely would recommend this hotel! The price is a great also! You won't go wrong staying here! Joyce was very helpful and sweet!

I had read the reviews and had some trepidation when booking. The lobby is spotless, gleaming glass and polished wood through out.
The room was decorated in a tasteful western style.
The pet area is huge, if you don't have bags they do.
Definitely will be spreading the word on this little jewel

Great place to stay for a quick overnight during a long road trip. Everyone was very kind, the lobby and the room feel very homey with cold water, lemon water, ice machine, game room, vending machines available. It was extremely helpful that it was pet friendly and had dog treats at the entrance. The bed was comfy; I usually don't sleep well in a hotel (probably like most) but slept really well here. Inexpensive with a complementary breakfast with eggs, biscuits, homemade cinnamon rolls, fruit, coffee, juice, etc. We were just passing through, so I can't say we'll be back, but I would love if more of these were around.

Very nice staff. Very clean rooms. Like other people, mention, there are many updates, but some things needing updates, but overall a very nice stay, and you can tell the people here care. And there is an actual cooked breakfast buffet which is better than the average.

Charming family friendly hotel. Great value at an excellent price. We really liked that they had rooms that sleep 6. The breakfast was delicious with good variety including homemade cinnamon rolls in a nicely decorated dining room. Didn't get to use the pool, but it looked nice and had a barbecue/fire pit nearby. Highly recommend!

We stayed at The Lodge at Russell in Russell, KS on our way out west last Monday. My husband and I were so impressed with our stay. First of all, our room was exceptionally clean and fresh. Upon entering our room I exclaimed to my husband, "Oh! I feel like I'm at home!" I wish I had taken a picture, but there was a beautiful white quilt on our bed (not a hotel comforter) and they left a note with 2 Hershey kisses by our bed. Our sheets were so soft and it had a "5 star shower" with incredible water pressure and a handheld shower head. But that's not all! When they say they serve a hot breakfast, they mean it. Eggs, bacon, cheese casserole, biscuits with gravy, plain scrambled eggs, hot oatmeal, make-your-own-waffles, etc...all included with your hotel room. Well done. The Lodge at Russell!!! We wish every hotel/lodge was like yours!!! Sincerely, Michelle and Tom Chandler

If we were not just passing through, I would want to stay forever!!
I was so comfortable and the area was quiet even though other people were around with kids. The breakfast setup was spread out and hot and fresh so you could comfortably get breakfast without stepping all over someone else.
The room was clean, homely and cozy. I really loved this place!!
Affordable too!!!

Rooms are simple but very clean and comfortable. I didn’t interact much with the staff but the man who checked me in after midnight was nice. I will definitely be staying here again on my way back to Colorado! Very dog friendly. I prefer to support local businesses anyway, but they’re also half the price of the chain hotels/motels up at the next exit!

As someone who has worked in the hotel industry, I can say it is well worth this review. I was visiting my grandma and she wanted to pay for the rooms. However, she just had back surgery, so she couldn't be in person to pay for it. They worked with us so she could do that. We stayed for 4 days and 3 nights. There was one morning that We slept in and were late getting down for breakfast. They allowed us to get breakfast even though it was passed the time. At all times, they were kind, helpful, and accommodating. If I go back to the area, I will absolutely stop here again.

Great breakfast the staff are amazing each room has a different theme. The game room was really fun our 23 year old loved the pool.

Great rustic decorations. Pool was swimmable, kid games in the back to include corn whole. Breakfast was amazing, you can tell it’s home made!

Would recommend for a cheap passing through stay.

We paid less than half of what the motels down the road wanted. We got 4 rooms for 3 nights. My single king room was perfect. Breakfast was great every morning, the employees were amazing. It was one of the best motel experiences I've had in a long time!

Exactly what you need for a night on the road. Friendly staff, great prices and comfortable/clean rooms. Decoration and small details made it clear the owner was invested in hospitality and gave the lodge a charm factor that sets it apart from other roadside options.

We rolled in at 9 PM after our second full day of highway driving ready to jump into a clean bed. Despite a little bit of noise outside, the Lodge at Russell delivered exactly what we were looking for and was pet friendly too! The breakfast exceeded expectations with tasty homemade options. Left for day 3 of driving refreshed and recharged.

Locally owned and operated hotel. Amazing! Yummy hot breakfast of scrambled eggs and homemade biscuits with white gravy with waffles and all the cold food you can think of! Very accommodating of any need we had! Met the owner and he was super friendly and kind! This was a comfortable and quiet place to stay after 14 hours on the road. We will always stop here if ever in town again. Also, absolutely beautiful huge plants all over property and in lobby. The people care and it’s obvious they take pride in this establishment. And THE very best pet rates for several hundred miles!

By far the best hotel I've ever stayed at! No joke. Ive stayed at high end hotels and never had such a good night's sleep. My whole family slept like babies! It was so quiet! We loved it. Very clean! Loved the rag idea! The free breakfast was great! The staff was very friendly! We missed the pool season but I'm sure it would have great. Will most definitely come back and recommend to friends!

The pool is open!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Rooms were Clean and comfortable. The hotel was quiet and off the Highway. Lots of food choices nearby.
The free breakfast was nice with biscuits and gravy, egg bake, and some cold items. Coffee was delicious. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely stay here again!

We pulled in at 11pm on a holiday and were greeted by a friendly woman at the desk. The room was nice and clean. I liked the newly done Western decor. A/c was good and cold. The breakfast was a pleasant surprise. Biscuits and gravy at a hotel! The employees were all friendly. I highly recommend the extra block drive from the highway.

The Lodge at Russell is a gem on I-70. They are renovating, we didn't get a renovated room so I can't speak on the quality. But our room was clean...but in deep need of a paint job and maintenance. However, this little motel is wonderful. Breakfast was awesome, my whole family was happy. I slept great, this never happens for me in a motel/hotel. I just want my bed, but it was quiet, and temperature was perfect. The staff are so nice, and accommodating.

If you need a room, stop here. It doesn't look like much on the outside. But was very happy with my stay. If I come back through here again. This is where I will stay.

Great place! Clean rustic themed rooms with an amazing breakfast!!

We have been stopping in Russell, Ks on our way home from visiting family in Colorado and have been staying at The Lodge for the past 2 years. We've been very pleased with the friendliness of the staff, clean rooms ,competitive price and wonderful breakfast. We would highly recommend this hotel, and plan to continue staying there as we travel in the future.
