The Manager was extremely helpful and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. The Motel was in easy walking distance to the Russell shops and wharf so we could just leave our car parked there. My Granddaughter loved the swimming pool. The only minor issue was the wardrobe was quite narrow so the clothes had to go in on an angle, but it wasn't that big of a problem as they could still hang up. We would definitely go back to stay there.

We stayed for a couple of nights at Russell Motel. The accommodation was small but very cutely furnished with comfy beds and everything else that we needed. The hosts were so friendly and kind. Didnt feel like i met them for the first time. There is a small pool that is realh cute and the girls had a dip, although it was a cold day. The location is very close to everything you need. Would love to go there again considering that my fur baby was also welcome and they kindly offered to sit her while we enjoyed lunch at a restaurant. Thanks fo everything James and family

We reserved a king studio. The room was of adequate size. The bathroom was excellent and appeared to be an accessible one. Lots of space. The bed was spacious and cozy. Everything was extremely clean, which is wonderful. Beautiful, crisp linens. However, tiny improvements could make a significant difference. Why would anyone still use one ply toilet paper? It just means that everyone uses twice as much, making no overall savings. No hair dryer or tissues, which are quite common these days. Penny pinching! The room also had a terriblely assembled table, bench, refrigerator, and utility holder. It was a mess. Nothing to hold anything, and it was somewhat of a disaster. Each chair assumes it's a table, but no way could tuck a plate in front of you. There isn't much room to accommodate anything. There is no sink area, which is, in my opinion, a significant hygiene concern since cups, glasses, etc. are washed in the restroom hand basin. Small improvements could make a huge difference. For the price, we anticipated better, especially considering other places where we had been staying.

The owners were very friendly and welcoming. We were in a king studio which was lovely and spacious and clean. Only a few minutes walk into Russell township and was nice to have a swim.

I loved the space. Usually get quite cold but the bedding was cosy enough for me. Also cool that the body wash and shampoo is in the shower.

We had a unit that was downstairs and at the back which gave us privacy and was quiet. This property was in an excellent position for the places we needed to go and is only a short walk into town.
