My wife and I stayed at the Russell for 4 nights and thoroughly enjoyed. The staff were all going out of their way to provide any help needed. Always asking if wanting more. The room was cleaned every day with chocolate turndowns at night. Location was perfect! Lots of activity and close to transportation. Definitely worth money spent for a wonderful time.
