Rooms: Comfort and Design
The Russell, a boutique hotel with a restored brick exterior, incorporates elements from a former church, such as stained glass, pews, old signage, and windows. The rooms include air conditioning, a desk, a coffee machine, a fridge, a safety deposit box, and a flat-screen TV. The private bathrooms include a shower. Design details include velvet curtains and sofas, globe lights, wood floors, and tile bathrooms; some bathrooms include both bathtubs and showers. White noise machines and Dyson air purifiers are in place for quiet. Some accessible rooms have low sinks. One room features a skylight instead of a standard exterior window. The hotel offers double rooms with a tea/coffee maker, and suites feature an interior balcony. Suites include a kitchenette with a refrigerator and feature chocolate for guests. Ironing facilities and heating are provided.
