Russell 2 Stars Hotels

"Feels like a boutique hotel. Clean, quiet and comfortable. Easy access from the highway but no highway noise. No dining options nearby and there's not much in Chariton overall. Especially liked the huge Roku TV and high water pressure. My wife and I didn't care for the taste of the local tap water but luckily we found the filtered water dispenser near the breakfast area. A couple of quirks - you're given a code you have to enter to unlock your room. This took some getting used to and could be difficult for seniors and visually impaired. Maybe offer RFID where you just hold a card to the lock? Also, we discovered that if you don't shut the door completely, it beeps occasionally. Finally, the front desk staffing is interesting as it was empty when we checked in on a Friday afternoon. There was a sign to call the hotel number and our employee was upstairs vacuuming but came down to check us in right away. Also, the front desk isn't staffed after 9pm. I ended up getting "locked out" as I couldn't understand how to use my room door code to unlock the front door. I called the staff number and still couldn't figure it out. Fortunately, another guest was in the lobby, and I showed her my key "card" and she let me in and told me how to unlock the front door. The game room and outdoor fire pit and pickleball court looked nice, although we didn't use them. I would stay there again!"

"Everyone very nice. Very clean. Always checking making sure we r ok for towels, etc. Would recommend... "

"Good location"

"Everything was great except the fridge did not get very cold. Inside the fridge where you adjust the temperature was detached from the fridge.."
