Fossil Creek Hotel & Suites I-70

We had a wonderful experience at Fossil Creek Hotel! Our family gathered here for our Christmas party as it is fairly middle grounds for everyone and everything exceeded our expectations. We used their convention room for our meal and White Elephant gift exchange and the staff was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and helpful every step of the way. They truly thought of everything, even lending us a corkscrew when we realized we had left ours at home! The kids absolutely loved the large pool and couldn’t wait to wake up and enjoy it one last time before we left. Overall, it was a fantastic experience for both adults and kids. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to gather, celebrate, and make memories. We would absolutely stay here again!

Rooms are average. Found leftovers in the fridge. Located the phone on the closet rack shelf then located a cord and a jack to plug it in to. Signal strength so low on the tv that you couldn't even find a channel. Not tub, heated pool and sauna were available but need updating. Kiddie pool was full of rust water. Chlorine smell throughout the hotel. Only 2 luggage trollies available for the busy weekend. Continental breakfast was mediocre at best. Laundry available and worked well. Only one of two ice machines worked. Game cleaning station available for hunters during season. Hallway traffic and neighboring room traffic was minimal.

I drove 11 hours from Kentucky and wanted a room with a quiet peaceful place to sleep. Fossil Creek Hotel and suites right off the interstate. I had a pool and a hot tub so I decided on that. Hotel receptionist gave me a room and I checked out the pool and everything and I told her I’ve been driving 11 hours and so she said hey I’m gonna give you the Jacuzzi suite so I floated in that hot water and it was so wonderful. It made my sleep so great and it was quiet and not many people there And I actually got in it this morning before I drove to Denver. The breakfast was great too everything you could imagine waffles, eggs, sausage biscuits, and gravy, yogurt, muffins, bread, bagels, coffee, orange, cranberry apple juice, and there weren’t many people there like at best Western or comfort Inn. It was nice and very peaceful. Of course it’s an older property, but was clean and comfortable

We’ve been staying at Fossil Creek for many years. It had many unique features such as the omelet bar, popcorn and beer. At Christmas time they had a very nice decorated tree and festive decorations. Also, if you stayed for 5 nights you would get the next one free. Then new owners came in took out the omelet bar, the popcorn and beer. The weight room is no more. Ice machines were broken on several floors and the lock on our room worked some of the time. They wouldn’t punch my card for my 5th night stay saying I didn’t make the reservation with them directly. I never have made them directly with them nor does the card say I had to in order to get my card punched and honored. The new owners show no compassion and took the uniqueness away for what use to be a very busy and homey feeling place to stay. On a positive note the rooms were clean and comfortable. However, I would not recommend staying here.

From the moment I arrived at The Fossil Creek Hotel, I was greeted with genuine smiles and a level of hospitality that immediately made me feel I chose the right hotel. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail of my stay was comfortable — friendly, attentive, and truly professional. The hotel itself was spotless — every hallway, corner, and surface gleamed with care. My room was immaculate, and the linens smelled freshly laundered. It’s clear that cleanliness is a top priority here. Also, one of the unexpected delights was the soft, luxurious fragrance that lingered throughout the lobby and hallways — a subtle perfume that gave the whole place an elegant, inviting feel. It was soothing without being overpowering, and it added a touch of sophistication to the entire atmosphere. I left The Fossil Hotel feeling refreshed, pampered, and genuinely impressed. I can’t recommend it highly enough to anyone looking for a stay that combines comfort, cleanliness, and charm with a warm human touch.

I am honestly shocked at how this was handled. I grew up in Russell and chose Fossil Creek because I remembered it being a nice place and wanted to support a local hotel I had good memories of. That decision completely backfired. My girlfriend and I discovered the showerhead in our room was completely broken (see photo). The shower was essentially unusable. I notified the front desk the next morning and was assured it would be fixed while we were out. When we returned that night, nothing had been repaired. The following morning, I explained that we had been unable to shower for our entire stay and requested a partial refund. After some back-and-forth, they agreed and told me they would approve it once contacted by the third-party booking agency. The offer they sent? $10. After being patient and communicating calmly the entire time, that felt like a complete slap in the face. Not having a working shower for the duration of a stay is not a minor inconvenience. This experience put a real damper on what should have been a great trip visiting family and friends. I won’t be staying here again.

This was a positive experience. The staff were kind and efficient and the room was in good shape with well functioning heat. We didn't use the shower or facilities but the property appears well kept. We would stay here again and it's nice to have a go-to location off the highway for i70 travel!

I attended an event held in the conference room at this hotel. The employees were kind and accommodating. The hotel was clean and quiet. Great experience and would not hesitate to stay here again.
