“Great if all you need is a roof over your head and a decent room”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2011

Spent one night at this Super 8 recently and I was just passing through and needed a place to stay for the night. I think they really need to take a look at the service. While the lady who checked me in was nice, it was obvious she didn't want to be there and seemed quick to get me out of the lobby and into my room.

All I needed was a standard room and was surprised to get one with a king bed and a nice recliner. It was great after the drive in to just chill on a recliner (as opposed to the bed) and watch TV before cashing in.

Folks, the place is basic and you get what you pay for. There was a strange smell in the hallway and thankfully it didn't get into the room. The room itself probably hasn't seen any sort of upgrade in a very long time and the king bed was firmer than what I prefer, but tolerable.

If you're just passing through and need a place to stay and are not picky about the quality of accommodations (and you don't have kids) this is a great place for you. If you do plan to spend a few days in Russell, or even have kids (I would have been very uncomfortable with my son staying here even with us...wife and son were traveling to our destination separately) go somewhere else. I do recommend the Fossil Creek Hotel across the street. While they are $20-40 more per night, it's very well worth it. I have stayed at another Americ-Inn (which is the former name of the Fossil Creek) and they are a hundred times nicer and much more comfortable.

The breakfast is very basic. All you get is cereal, some sort of danish looking thing, bread for toast, coffee, milk, and juice.

Bottom line is, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

Room Tip: You cannot be picky about the rooms if you stay here! If you prefer luxury, or something much nicer...

“Rude & Argumentative - Wont stay again”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 September 2011

overall the motel was decent...for a cheap motel. As far as the stay I had to contact front desk a couple times to get the wifi to work. No receipt was offered and when I inquired I was told they can't give me a reciept.

Two months later I am still trying to collect my rewards from wyndham rewards. First Wyndham tells me the hotel can not find a record of my stay??? I have worked in a hotel, clients name, address, phone and drivers license are all input into the computer...shoddy business practice or incompetence? So I phone and speak with the General Manager, who tells me I didn't meet the minimum purchase. When I question the minimum purchase he YELLS at me and asks me if I am going to tell him how the program is run..at which point I hung up the phone. Wyndham verified that there is NO minimum purchase required to gain points.

What has happened to good customer service? Really, the General Manager felt the need to YELL at a customer. This may be appropriate in their country (not sure where they were from, but not American) however, you are in the USA now. Learn how to treat people properly. I have filed a fomal complaint with Super 8. And I can 100% guarantee that I will NEVER stay in the Super 8 at Russell, Kansas again. Maybe with this review they will find a record of my stay.

Room Tip: Best room = another hotel

“Will never stay here again!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

On a motorcycle trip from Orlando to Russell to visit a friend. First: The Indian lady at the front desk apparently hates her job, since she was extremely rude. Second, the same rude Indian lady called my room at 11:30!!! to have me move my motorcycle from the parking space in front of the satellite dishes!!! I had been asleep for an hour already! Third, they would not honor their internet-advertised price, and cost much more, even with a supposed AARP discount! Parking is limited also...And the continental breakfast was a joke! Coffee, a little cereal, and an english muffin...because one was all there was! Russell Inn is much better, cheaper, and much friendlier!

“No receipt”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2008
1
person found this review helpful

In 35 years have never had the experience of a hotel not providing a receipt. In order to collect expenses, need a receipt upon departure. The East Indian lady had not done a night audit, so asked me to come back later in the afternoon. I work for a living and would be 100 miles away that afternoon. The accomodations were average to below average. Price was $20 higher than it should have been. Might suggest staying in Hays or Salina. Have written the Russell Chamber of Commerce about this problem. They elected not to reply. The Chambers of Commerce need to work with these people to get their standards up.

  • Liked — It had a bed
  • Disliked — Inability to communicate with desk clerk
