Guest Reviews

Michelle (10/5): - Welcoming atmosphere at the entrance. Everything looked and smelled clean. Breakfast was acceptable.
Kathryn (6/5): - Pool area
Charles (8/5): - Yes
Sandra (10/5): - Showed up late after driving all day. The staff was so nice and made a point to make me smile and feel welcome!
Rebecca (10/5): - We weren’t looking for fancy we were looking for clean. Clean sheets, clean bathroom, etc. we have had a few bad experiences of late
Diana (6/5): - The water at our sink did not work. We got in late and just wanted to go to sleep. Went to brush out teeth. We at this point did not want to change rooms so we used the bathtub faucet. When told staff they were rude and said it was not her fault. Really??
Karen (4/5): - That was okay.
Trevor (8/5): - Got in late. It was a stopping point on my way to Dallas. The hotel was a great place to rest for a few hours before I hit the road again.
Jolene (8/5): - This location is approximately half way on our travels to visit family. It’s nice to have a hotel we can count on for that stop.
PD (6/5): - Fine
Rhonda (10/5): - Excellent find after struggling to find something economical and pet friendly in Hays. Clean, friendly staff, and hot breakfast. Great stay!
RICHARD (10/5): - Very nice stop along I 70
Earl (10/5): - Friendly and helpful staff
Julie (10/5): - The luggage carts could probably be replaced. They're both in pretty rough shape & hard to manage. I had to call the front desk to get the t.v. in the room operational. The curtains & plastic hardware in my specific room need to be replaced. Other than that, the staff was very friendly and the room was very nice.
Chris (4/5): - New owners are Indian. Don’t need to say anything else.
Travis (10/5): - Staff is amazing
Ember (4/5): - The room was very dirty.
Phil (8/5): - Could have probably saved a little money and gotten the same quality stay at another hotel. Hot tub was just slightly warm. Breakfast was good!
Travis (10/5): - Amazing customer service
Jeffrey (6/5): - Adequate, that’s about it
Rachel (2/5): - I have no idea how this place got good reviews. All night long there were weird dudes walking around in the parking lot. The room is outdated, and has a super weird smell. Almost nothing in the room works. One of the lamps didn’t work, the television doesn’t work, the Internet doesn’t work, and the refrigerator doesn’t even get cold. The sheets were scratchy, and the carpet seemed moist. Big no.
Debi (10/5): Recommend - Nice looking. Service any time of day. Room was spacious and clean
Leah (10/5): - Room was clean and spacious. Pleasant staff.
Jeff (6/5): - The hotel could use updated. Many items in the room are showing age...sink, furniture, bed. Not terrible. But, needs attention in my opinion
Verified traveler (8/5): Just ok - Served our purpose but nothing special, holiday weekend but no evening popcorn, checked in at 6p but had to wait for desk clerk to see me on camera to come help. Hotel is dated, breakfast eggs were put out in chafing dish from a bag, and put into a bag after breakfast. Trash by front door was overflowing. Positively, the beds were comfortable.
Emil (10/5): - It was a great place to stay for our visit. Exceeded my expectations.
Robert (4/5): Very disappointed - Arrived in the evening and had to wait 5 minutes for a front desk person to arrive to check me in. Room had no soap or shower products. Air conditioner was so loud we turned it off during the night. Strange smell in the room. Sunday morning went to breakfast at 9:40 and nothing was available. Sign said breakfast 7-10. Best thing about this hotel was the carpet stain collection throughout the property.
Elizabeth (4/5): Find another Hotel - This hotel was run down and messy. There were many stains on the carpet, our door didn't close completely, without using a lot of force and once closed my daughter had to hip check the door to lock it. The bedding and towels were old and scratchy. Our beds seemed to be very old and lumpy as well. And when our TV wouldn't turn on I walked to the desk to report it and they manager and another employee promised they would send someone to fix it and they never came to our room. All and all a very unsatisfying experience. We would not recommend this hotel. Definitely, not worth the price.
Miriam (10/5): - Comfortable and convenient!
Verified traveler (6/5): - The room was adequate. The breakfast was minimally acceptable. Our TV was not working for the first 3 hours and it took the manager 2 trips to get it to work. The ice machine on the 1st floor was broken and the one on the 2nd floor was nasty. I could not believe the high recommendations on the hotels.com website. I will not trust them in the future.
James (8/5): Passing through Kansas - Fossil Creek was ok but I'm not sure whether we would stay there again. The room was fine and the location was convenient to the highway for the night but breakfast was so disappointing. The scrambled eggs were cold and several of the containers for cold cereals were completely empty. It was not a good way to start the day.
Donald (10/5): - Very nice facility and an excellent value
Roy (10/5): - Nice place. Not a ton of eating options around but enough.
Charles (10/5): - Nice property the staff could use some valuable information on where guests can find food or get a bite around the area. Still a great experience.
Kelly (2/5): - Footprints in shower, broken security lock on door, and damaged floor in shower...wouldn't step in it without shoes on. Totally needs to be updated and fixed!
Brian (10/5): - Great hotel.
cyndi (8/5): - Although and older building, staff was nice and room clean and bed comfortable. Average breakfast and coffee. Even though it was beside interstate, our room was very quiet.
Stacey (10/5): Clean and affordable - Clean, affordable and wonderful service.
Kathleen (4/5): - The facility is under new ownership and hopefully will improve. We prepaid through via a third party but was billed again on top of what we had already paid. The advertised exercise room was made into a conference room. Advertised television channels were not all available. After a call to the desk and a trip down to the desk, someone came to let us know those stations were no longer available.
Scott (6/5): - Good but one of the reasons I stayed there for the advertised made to order omelette that didn’t exist.
Lou Ann (6/5): - Needs some updates and repairs, but was reasonably clean. Good selection for breakfast.
Russell (8/5): Surprisingly pleasant - Fun stop with the family. Pool was old but clean. Clean rooms. Kids had fun
Marshall (10/5): - Safe, quiet, easy parking.
Patrick (10/5): - Room was clean and spacious. Breakfast was very good as I always appreciate a breakfast provided at the hotel. Great value for the price as compared to hotels in Hays.
Melissa (6/5): - TV didn’t work & we followed all the instructions but it was too after midnight when we checked in we didn’t want to call & ask for assistance. It took me calling the front desk for someone to check us in to hotel. The bathtub was slippery, need something to help with traction to prevent falling. The facility was clean and there is a microwave & little refrigerator and extra sink outside bathroom which is always a plus!
Kathleen (10/5): - The staff were very nice. Everything was lovely.
Gary (8/5): - The property is older but updated. The only issue I had was that the sink had very low water pressure, the shower was fine so I think it was the faucet.
William (2/5): Hard Pass on the "breakfast". - Clean comfortable bed is all you get here. Breakfast was terrible. The breakfast reviews are all old and not up to date. The gravy was ice cold and separated. The waffle mix was watered down and the broken waffle maker couldn't cook it all the way through. The omlet station wasn't being used with no apology. We drove an extra 30 minutes past Hays to stay here based on the outdated reviews. Won't be doing that again.
Megan (10/5): Clean & comfortable - Quite clean and we enjoyed a comfortable stay
Jessica (10/5): - Grade one night stay in Russell! Would recommend to anyone looking for a great place to stay!!
Mary Ann (6/5): - It was okay.
Liam (10/5): - The staff was friendly and the room was clean with all the essentials provided. Will definitely look to stay here on the next trip back.
Russell (10/5): - Beautiful place, excellient staff.
Ingrid (6/5): - Not sure why this hotel got rated so high? Our room smelled badly and I woke up coughing and sneezing. I could see you at one time this place could be nice. Disappointed that the review was so high
Cheryl (8/5): - A bit dated but very clean and great customer service
Christie (6/5): Not to bed - The place was pretty good. Bed wasn’t very comfortable room had a musty smell but everything else was great!
Amy (10/5): - This is such a gem! It was extremely clean and the staff was amazing. We had a quiet room that was immaculate. Our only downsides were a very firm bed and there was not a security chain on the door (but there was a deadbolt). The breakfast was super with great hours. This hotel is clearly well-managed and customer-oriented.
Lynnette (10/5): - this was a very nice hotel
Becky (2/5): - Booked a room that sleeps 5, got a room that sleeps 4. Everything is stained, smells terrible, and gross. It is also uncomfortable, ugly, and dingy.
Nichole (8/5): - Kids loved the pool, the nightly popcorn and cookies and the waffles at breakfast!
Vickie (8/5): - Older hotel with wear. But clean and comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Check in was fast and easy. Breakfast was delicious.
Tamara (10/5): - Our stay was wonderful!
Charles (6/5): - They were not prepared for guest arrival who had reservations. Front desk was very lacking.
Marcia (10/5): - One night stay on a trip. Everything was clean and staff was awesome. Even though not brand new was still very nice. Great breakfast and would definitely stay there again.
Melissa (8/5): - It was older and a little run down but the beds were comfortable and the owner was nice.
Verified traveler (2/5): Dirty non functional room - This hotel was awful. When I first went to the room, the key didn't work so I had to wait in a long line again for the key to be reprogrammed. Then when I entered the room I immediately found that the only trash can had a full chicken carcass in it so I notified the front desk agent. She said she would come get it when she finished checking everyone in but never came to do so. I then noticed that the bathtub was dirty, carpet was covered in white dog hair, the pillow had a bug on it, and the sink was completely stopped up. The AC also didn't work efficiently.
Melanie (8/5): - Good value; clean
Mike (10/5): - It's a nice place to stay in. The pool was amazing.
David (10/5): - It's a nice hotel close to an event we attended
John (10/5): - Our room had a lot of space and a comfortable chair,
laurie (10/5): - Great stay on our way home from vacation. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was the best and included made-to-order omelets. Hotel provides cookies and fresh popcorn in the lobby every night. Pool area was clean. There’s a separate kiddie pool, a large hot tub and a sauna. My disabled husband was able to use the hot tub, very accessible. Although it’s an older hotel, you can tell the owners care and keep the place in great condition. Only drawback for us is there was no comfortable chair in our room, only two straight back chairs. Our room was a handicap accessible one so that may be why. However, this wife-provider would have liked to relax a bit after a long day of driving.
Michelle (10/5): - Pillows, shower pressure, custom made omelette at breakfast, courted water bottle
Rebecca (8/5): - Nice clean property. Needs an automatic espresso machine. Folgers coffee is not up to par.
Tracy (10/5): - Breakfast was very good!
Allan (8/5): - Friendly staff, convenient location, omlets are made from scratch. The facility is clean but dated.
Stanley (6/5): - The room was nice but the TV did not connect digitally and the only staff person on duty did not know how to fix it and could not offer us a different room. We had no TV during our entire stay. Also, the workout room was filled with tables and chairs and had no workout equipment.
Scott (8/5): - Great staff, clean, and fresh made omelet, but the internet was terrible .
Lori (6/5): - Older motel. Our room was clean but had a musty smell. Plenty of parking for larger vehicles.
Jerry (10/5): - Liked everything. An excellent hotel, clean, roomy. Room was homey.
Douglas (10/5): - Good breakfast
Diana (8/5): Nice place to stay - We had a very nice one night stay at Fossil Creek. The staff was helpful and friendly. Good breakfast, with lady cooking eggs and omelets. Children really enjoyed pool and hot tub. Would definitely stay again.
Patrick (2/5): - There were bed bugs at the property. We checked under the mattress the first 5 minutes we stepped foot in the room. Notified the staff and expedia we were checking out and leaving. Did not want any room at a property with bed bugs so we checked out and left. They charged us the full amount on a 5 minute stay when their property wasn’t even all the way full. Not even a partial refund. Never stay here.
Paul (10/5): - Nice hotel and friendly staff. Very clean. I would stay here again.
Shaun (10/5): rest fed and laundry sorted - A loverly place to rest on a road trip. And great Laundry facility. Great omelets too.
delores (10/5): - I often stay at this hotel during my trips across Kansas. It has a hometown feel at a reasonable price. Excellent cookies and a good breakfast
Christine (10/5): - Very clean place to stay. It is an older hotel but much cleaner than most and the staff is very nice. The breakfast is wonderful, omelets made to order, you can’t beat that.
Douglas (4/5): Hoorible beds - Stay was good but beds were hard as rocks. The floor was softer then the beds. Me and my wife slept like absolute crap due too the rock hard beds. And the breakfast had no flavor or decent food.
Joan (10/5): - I have stayed here multiple times. I travel alone with two dogs. The area is safe and clean. There’s a large amount of space to walk the dogs in the area. The rooms are clean. The breakfast is good. You can have an omelet made to order.
Kassey (10/5): - The room was comfortable & clean. The coffee was pretty great!
Becky (10/5): - It was a great experience.
Raymond (10/5): - Only thing bad was hot tub was out of order, but the sauna and the pool were fabulous and also the only reason we book here. Plus they do late night fresh snacks and the breakfast is on point!
Ann (8/5): Nice Hotel - It was a nice stay. We had a little problem with checking in but she was very friendly and understanding and handled it well. The room was clean and comfortable. The Breakfast was great!
Michael (10/5): - I'm quite the surprise to find such a charming and comfortable room in a relatively remote stop that could fit all five of us and still be such a great price.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Loved the breakfast
eileen (4/5): - I did not like the hotel room. There were used bottle of shampoo in the bathroom, holes in the wall and poor internet.
Wayne (8/5): - Breakfast
PAIGE (10/5): - Quiet room. Clean. Property is not brand new, but clean room. Very nice staff.
Joe (10/5): Friendly staff, clean large rooms. - Staff was really friendly and accommodating. We stayed in a room with a whirlpool tub, a must for a couple or to relax after driving all day. Highly recommend, easy access on/off I-70.
Kevin (8/5): Nice halfway point. - Overnighted for trip to Arkansas from Colorado. Good made to order omelette but the rest of the breakfast was not warm and selection was bad. Waffle maker was not working either
Kurt (10/5): - Efficient, helpful and friendly staff. Clean, comfortable and quiet property. Perfect stop over on our trip.
