Guest Reviews
- Christina (9/5): Great stay here - Wonderful room cozy and comfortable
Very nice breakfast room with plenty of food selections Everything was great for our stay and would definitely return in the future
- Bree (8/5): Quick, convenient, and warm from the rain. - It was conveniently located just off the highway and quiet. There were a handful of dead cockroaches on the floor around the room. Hoping that meant they sprayed but not ideal with young kids.
- Jennifer (8/5): If you need to stop, this hotel would be a decent choice. - Staff was nice! Breakfast was good, warm food options are always a plus. Had a bit of an issue with payment, but staff sorted it out immediately on arrival. Bed was a tad too hard, and the blanket wasn’t the warmest. There’s only one place for groceries in town, so I recommend getting anything you need before settling in for the evening.
- Nicole (6/5): -
- Holly (10/5): - The staff was wonderful and welcoming. The Breakfast was great as well!
- Niels (7/5): - Fine and clean room -
- Cathy (9/5): Great place to stay and see a sunset. - Good location, cute room, great breakfast. We got the last room available, wish we could have been on first floor as stairs are hard for me. We should have brought a power strip. Not many accessible outlets.
- George (8/5): We would stay here again. - The staff was friendly and personally dedicated to making our stay enjoyable.
- Nortoncat (10/5): - Very clean and super friendly staff. Great fresh breakfast 😋 I loved it! I wish there was laundry but they told me where the Laundromat was. Basically across the street
- Valarie (10/5): -
- Mavid (9/5): Great stay, with kind employees, clean room and comfy beds. - This is an older facility, but very well kept. The staff was very nice, the breakfast was one of the best we had on our trips in US. They also had coffee and cookies available 24/7. The rooms were clean, with all the amenities we needed and the beds were comfortable. It is easy to find, just off the highway, it has a big parking lot and I believe in summer they also have an outdoor pool, that was not operational when we were visiting. We had a great stay here and in Russel.
- Janie (10/5): excellant staff helpful and friendly - excellant
- Janie (10/5): -
- Barbara (10/5): -
- Marite (8/5): Good for a night - Beautiful main hall and breakfast room decorated in an old southern style. Close to I70 Room needs more attention to details, carpet needs cleaning. The room does not smell really clean.
I personally do not like bed linens dragging on the floor and this seems to be part of the decoration
- Susan (10/5): Nicely decorated updated room. Exceptionally clean, comfortable bed, full size pillows. - Very nice. Enjoyed the bacon and scrambled eggs, the waffles and fresh baked cinnamon rolls. Plenty of cold food options as well. Very good coffee.
- Guido (8/5): - Breakfast was good and had a sort of personal touch. The person at the reception was extremely nice and helpful.
- Dana (10/5): -
- Andrea (8/5): Wir würden es für einen kurzen Aufenthalt wieder buchen und weiterempfehlen - Sehr gutes Frühstück in einem fantastischen Frühstücksraum
Sehr schöne Lobby, älter aber sehr schön Zimmer waren schon älteres Semester aber nicht umschön
- Pierce (10/5): -
- Lori (8/5): More than what I expected - We were in town for my sons fishing tournament. There was plenty of room for parking the boat, outside plugs in the parking area so we didn't need to run extension cord around the parking lot.
The lady at the front desk was really nice! She even remembered my name when I needed an extra key because my son locked us out. I've never had anyone remember my name at a hotel! We will definitely stay again when were back that way
- TS (10/5): - Very friendly and assisting staff.
Tasty breakfast, clean rooms snd above all, the cozy, county-style atmosphere!
The perfect location for short or long-term stays in Russel. The mattress was a bit too soft.
- Heather (10/5): -
- Volpitto (9/5): -
- Pitzer (10/5): - Room was clean and comfortable. The free breakfast was the best we had on our 2 week trip. The staff were sweet and helpful. They even had doggy bones for your 4 legged friend. The price was great!
- Abigail (10/5): -
- Sabrina (8/5): - The gal at the front desk at check in was amazing, I ask her for a room with a tub and she made sure I got the room I liked
- Ronald (8/5): -
- wegrzyn (6/5): -

- Kathy (10/5): - Comfortable, clean, quiet, good breakfast, convenient
- Brenda (10/5): -
- Marie (9/5): - Breakfast was great, room/bathroom were clean and bed were comfortable. Price was very good.
- Macrina (10/5): -
- Diane (9/5): Great place right off 70 for a travel night. - Very clean and cute. Comfortable beds and very good breakfast. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Game room was fun but looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a while. All we needed to do was wipe off a table in order to play cards.
- Nina (7/5): We had a great stay. Breakfast was good with a nice variety of food. Room was clean. Staff was excellent. I would have l - Staff was kind. Room was clean. Not enough pillows
- Sonja (8/5): Charming and convenient Lodge. - Close to the interstate. It was a typical rustic and charming place. The room was very clean and has a nice size fridge and microwave in there. They had a good size breakfast buffet available.
- MoSkywarnWx (10/5): -
- Ronny (5/5): -
- Teri (10/5): - We stayed here twice in a few days. On our to Missourians on our way back. This place is great. There is a game room with a pool table which we utilized for a few hours. I’ll be staying here anytime I’m traveling thru Kansas on I 70.
- Gage (4/5): - Not a clean room, grime and stuff all over doors and the shower kept clogging, hair all over the bed. I paid a lot of money for a trashy hotel.
- Troy (10/5): Great!! - Way better than what I expected. Fantastic value.
- John (10/5): -
- Dawn (8/5): - Rustic Had a room with pets smell
- Joel (8/5): Great value, great breakfast, clean room. Going to stay again! - Room was clean. Staff was kind and helpful. The breakfast was amazing. The eggs, biscuits and gravy, and waffles were delicious. Bed wasnt too comfy. The lights outside the room were bright, even with the blackout curtains closed there were gaps at the top and sides making it brighter than we would have liked.
- Darla (8/5): Great place, great value - Location, cleanliness, thirsty towels, hygiene items, variety of breakfast items, bed, pillows Shower faucet is finicky. Make very small movements on faucet to get hot water.
- Hope (10/5): Passing through. Great place to relax for the night - Loved the family friendly vibe. I felt safe and comfortable for my quick stop.
- Camila (10/5): - Localização, custo benefício, café da manhã completo e atendimento muito receptivo.
- Rebecca (10/5): -
- Sydney (10/5): Happy - Everything was great, employees were great. Price was good and breakfast was awesome every morning. The only thing that made us uncomfortable, was we had no table or desk in our room. We had to eat our meals in bed. If you have people that stay for half a week or a full week, they really need to give them rooms with a table and chairs at least.
The parking lot really needs fixed.
- Keri (8/5): Very nice affordable stay for family of 5 - Close to interstate, room very cute western decor, nice breakfast setup served very early, and one room for us all with 3 double beds. Bathroom fixtures older and tile was stained/mold in grout.
- Abdullah Semih (10/5): -
- Bobbi (1/5): -
- Kerri (10/5): Wonderful. Local owners take pride in their lodge. - We were unable to take advantage of the complimentary breakfast so honestly don't know how the food is. I will say the dining room though was very clean and well lit. Inviting We really have no complaints.
- alisha (8/5): It met our needs. We are a family of 6 and it accomodated our needs very well. - Breakfast was very good. Great variety. Very clean. Shower curtain was cloth and water went to the floor.
- Caleb (10/5): -
- Keith (7/5): Good value if all you need is sleep, and some calories to start the day. - Room was clean and comfortable. very affordable. No fruit at breakfast, unless you count the fake tasting oj. No exercise facilities.
- Dana (10/5): - I liked everything about it! They treated us like family! It felt very homey, not like a traditional hotel. The room was clean and the bed was comfy. I love that our dog was welcomed and they even had dog treats!
- Dave (10/5): Quiet, clean room, comfortable beds, and a delicious breakfast. - It has a retro decor, with actual keys for the door. The room was clean, the beds comfortable, and the shower hot! What more can you ask for in an overnight stay on your journey.
- Theresa (5/5): -
- tamara (9/5): Very homey hotel - It’s quaint . Reminds you of hotels gone by , very homey still uses actual keys. I can’t think of anything . Worked well for us .
- Teri (10/5): - Everything!!! Stayed here on the way to Missouri and then again on the way back. The lady at the front desk was so sweet. There is a game room with a pool table.
- Delayne (9/5): - When we checked in the clerk was amazing. I think her name was Amelia. She was so friendly and helpful. She recommended a fabulous place to eat.
- Austin (10/5): - Clean. It looks like it might be one of those cheap, run down, hotels at first glance but it was actually quite nice and we slept good. The hot water wasn’t quite hot enough for my wife but she likes it scalding hot so take that with a grain of salt.
- Terry (10/5): -
- Brett (8/5): - The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Even had a little snack for guests. Breakfast was good! Unfortunately our tv didn’t work.
- Brittyn (10/5): -
- Sandra Bailey (10/5): - Cozy room, friendly, efficient staff. EXCELLENT breakfast! Convenient location. AWESOME value!! Nothing! Great value, very convenient!
- Kay (10/5): We were very surprised at the cleanliness and friendliness for the price that we paid - The friendliness when we arrived Nothing
- Bryce (10/5): It's a Pondering Motel - Exceptional Staff and very clean. The TVs are hard to figure out, but without it I'm reading a book.
- Bryce (10/5): -
- Taylor (10/5): - This place was very roomy, clean and the beds were so comfortable.. You also did not hear the heat and cooling blowing in the room, like you do in mamy motels. The breakfast that was included was homeade, and the dining area was very clean and located in a private area. Take time to enjoy the surrroindings: Russell, Wilson, Wilson Lake, and Lucas.The value was exceptional, we will be back!
- Deepak (7/5): -
- Lisa (9/5): -
- John (8/5): - Good big breakfast.
- Edward (5/5): - Good breakfast spread. Room was very outdated and could have used a freshening.
- Katherine (10/5): - The Lodge was very nice. Wonderful staff, remodeled country theme room, and breakfast was all home cooked. Delicious!
- Ray (8/5): Nice - Staff very pleasant and helpful Parking lot is crumbling with age
- McReynolds (9/5): I like this place, and we will stay there again. - My wife wanted me to tell you that the bed was one of the most comfortable beds that we have slept in. I wish that we had spent two nights there because I would have loved to use the shower. We had the double room (Suite) and the shower was massive. It just looked perfect.
We arrived on Saturday, and since Friday is my bath day, I missed out on that.
Breakfast is superb, what a great selection and it has excellent flavor.
Even the town folk in Russell recognize that this is the place to stay when you come there. There may be newer places, but they are more factory and cold feeling than The Lodge. The building is dated, but it's comfortable and kept in good working order so it's really not a big deal.
We have stayed here multiple times, and I have never had a complaint. The second bathroom in the 2 room suite is a bit cramped, but not enough to make it undesirable.
- katija (10/5): best small town motel stay - quiet, comfortable, friendly staff, large breakfast options
- Sandra (8/5): Clean and affordable, with the absolute BEST breakfast - Helpful and kind staff . Breakfast here had the best variety of options (despite having no fruit) that Ive ever seen. Warm cinnamon rolls were my favorite. Cookies at check-in. Very quiet area. Other reviews commented that the facility needed updating. I found our room to be clean, and spacious and frankly a remodle would boost prices.. however, the toilet struggled to flush toulet paper down.
- Kathryn (1/5): The owner of the hotel is an inappropriate. - The room was fine. This hotel is not dog friendly or accessible to people with disabilities. The owner tried to kick me out of the breakfast room, caused a scene in front of everyone, and called the police on me for eating breakfast during my stay because I have a service dog. Which is against the law and ADA. It was shocking and unnecessary. The police man was very nice though because he know the law. This hotel is not dog friendly or accessible to people with disabilities.
- Jennifer (7/5): -
- Laureen (10/5): Good place to stop and a good breakfast. - Its location, breakfast but the staff is exceptional. My mom had an issue w a dog in the breakfast area and the staff came to her aide. That a dog was in the breakfast area. Its owner said it was a service dog but I don’t know of a service dog that eats off the table. She did not make sure the dog was tethered.
- Pierre (10/5): Friendly staff, great rooms and great breakfast! - Friendly staff, great rooms and great breakfast!
- Ferguson (9/5): -
- Dale (8/5): -
- Zach (9/5): -
- Donna (10/5): Comfortable, relaxing stay. - Comfortable, relaxing room. The decor gave the room a feeling of rustic country. The bed was comfortable. Plenty of towels. Breakfast was satisfying. Will stay here in the future.
- Lisa (9/5): -
- Skylar (5/5): Ok for the cost, but wouldn’t plan to stay more than 1 night - Breakfast was some of the best we’ve had staying at any hotel/lodge The shower wasn’t super clean, the rooms are very outdated which in itself isn’t an issue, but the bed was not very comfortable and we have to kill at least a dozen flies when we got into our room 😅
- robert (8/5): -
- Anu (7/5): -
- Louis (8/5): -
- Olson (10/5): - The staff was very friendly and had a great breakfast. Rooms were large and comfortable.
- Lisa (7/5): Good value for the money. - Breakfast was great. Easy access to the hotel. Old & in need of a remodel. Carpet needs replacement & parking lot needs a lot of work.
- Patty (10/5): -
- Michael Wentzel (8/5): Great value hotel for your money and delicious breakfast - Just off interstate 70, this hotel is conveniently located. We had a big double room for our group of 5. The rooms were clean and breakfast was a step up from the normal hotel breakfast. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms are a bit outdated and could use an upgrade in furniture and decor.
- Cindia (9/5): Superb -
- Kelly (10/5): Grand midwestern breakfast. - Breakfast. Coming home to the Midwest from the coast. You know you’re home when you see a full meal for breakfast. Plus. Soak up some sun by the pool. Nothing
