My family and I (two kids 5/3) stayed here last week on our way to Colorado. We check in on a Friday evening. The girls at the desk were super friendly and informative. We had a very nice and clean room with very comfortable beds. The indoor pools and hot tub were perfect for the kids and the lobby offered... More

Everything was good except it takes forever to get helped at the desk... Not enough attention to customers. More

I read some reviews on this that said it wasn't as good as it used to be. I stayed here with my kids when it was new and stayed here again last week and found it still a pleasant place to stay. The staff was very friendly and helped with everything I needed. The room was clean and neat and... More

We found this gem on our road trip from Cleveland, Ohio to Park City, Utah. We were looking for a hotel and our GPS found AmericInn in Russell. We followed the GPS's directions (which are accurate about 50% of the time!) and it led us to nowhere. As we were going towards the on-ramp to get back on the highway,... More

We have stayed at this AmericInn for the past 4 years while traveling from KC to Colorado. When I called to book the room- the number didn't work. I tried to book through the Internet, and it said that the hotel was no longer a part of AmericInn- it is now called the Fossil something- it has really gone down... More

We had stayed here once a few years back and had a decent experience. We decided to try it again. Bummer deal, dude! They are changing over to be a completely "smoke free" establishment. I requested 2 non-smoking rooms, but when I went into the second room I nearly gagged. I had booked the room for my parents and unfortunately,... More

In the past two years I've driven cross-country each summer and have stayed at this property three of the four times I've come through Russell, KS. Russell, KS just works out to be a good half-way point between Ohio and the front range of Colorado. The property is right off the highway, the rooms are clean and large, and everything... More

This is a new hotel. The room was standard with no special features, but it was clean and comfortable. There were fresh cookies, popcorn, and soup available upon check-in. The breakfast variety is the best I have ever seen at any hotel. There were made to order omelets, scrambled eggs, french toast, waffles, biscuits and gravy, sausage, toast, pastries, cereal,...

When traveling with our young kids, we prefer to stay in suite style hotels, primarily so that we can put them to bed in one room and be able to stay awake in the other room until we're ready to hit the sack. The suites at the AmericInn fit the bill perfectly, with that specific setup - a separate bedroom... More
