We checked in around 9-10pm. Staff seemed sleepy and just completely zoned out. It took her a very long time to understand what she needs to do for us... it was a surprise for us too that none of the Rooms have air Conditioning. It was pretty old and stinky inside the rooms. The view from the location is great, right on the lake. The breakfast was great as well.
TV did not work would not connect to the Internet. The showers were about four feet tall so if your over that you need to duck.

The property was quite, our room was cute but had fruit flies and big flies, it did come with a fly swatter so I guess they are aware of the problem. The TVproblem.
Greeted in English! At 10 pm, coffee/tea and cookies waiting for me to have a snack before bed, available in lobby by check in. Clean room! Clean sheets! Thick towels! Even a clean rag if you needed one! Step in shower, ice cold refrigerator, and in room coffee maker. Window curtains totally closed over window! I had a special but they still did give me a different room at the same price because of handicap. Breakfast was cinnamon rolls, not the prepackaged stuff, oatmeal, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, cereal, milk, juice, scrambled eggs, omelet in a pan, biscuits and gravy, waffles, inc chocolate chip, breads to toast, cookies. I may have missed some items. All were friendly and helpful! Good mattress and quiet!
We were pleased with the atmosphere and the decor, impressed, actually, with the "homey" touches in the decor. Loved the giant plants! And the breakfast was delicious every time.
My only complaint was the low quality of the toilet tissue. Otherwise, everything was great!
Was not happy about the up charge for a downstairs room

Polite and helpful staff. It’s really showing its age in the rooms. The furniture fell apart, it could use fresh paint and caulking. Take out the old carpet and upgrade the rooms. The parking lot could use repaving. The beds were cozy.

Not many people, rooms need to be updated badly. Thunderstorms…windows and door leaked water all over. Staff were friendly and breakfast was good.
Family owned and family friendly motel. Multiple types of rooms and price points. Have stayed at least 5 times in 3 years. Each room has a different design. Comfortable beds and fridge and microwave. Fantastic breakfast with man6 choices including biscuits and gravy and fresh eggs plus the usual food. Nice pool in back. Lots of room to park.

Stay in Russel, not Hays
Actual home cooked breakfast options vs cereal, day old bagels and unripe fruit. There was homemade cinnamon rolls, breakfast scramble with fresh eggs, ham, bacon and sausage with cheese. Homemade biscuits and gravy, waffles and fresh orange juice. The rates are very fair and rooms were nice.
