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

Fairly tired old motel with no view and no air-conditioning. Advertised as having Sky but no channels available. Reasonable distance from any restaurants and bars and not particularly good value for money. Only thing that sticks in my mind is reading in the compendium that the room rate doesn't include them doing your dishes?? Not sure how that rates with a covid clean between guests?

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.

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.

Great location, easy walk to beach and shops. The bed was hard and sagged in the middle so we did not have a good sleep.

Second time we have stayed here. Clean, convenient, quiet, plus it has a nice swimming pool.
Pity that there is no frame to dry the wet togs!. And no where to sit outside that wasn't part of a corridor to other units.

Great room , near enough to the centre of town to walk . Lovely large bed . We had a great holiday in Russell . I would highly recommend the Motel Russell. A small improvement to our room would have been a small wardrobe . Once again thank you for being a part of a great holiday.

Good hot day, room was clean and basic amenities were there. Very small room with no air conditioning so it was very hot that we couldn’t sit inside and had to open the door right through. Being on main road there were quite a bit traffic noise too. Owner was happy and supportive. Nice town.
4.0 / 10.0
It is a shame that they seemed to want to fill up the part of the Motel closest to the road first which gave us a rather noisy stay.
