Overall the stay was great. The only issue I had was with the continental breakfasts. They didnât keep them well stocked til the end. If I got there on the later side, the remaining food options were limited.
We visited the Ark Encounter and stayed at the Hampton Inn adjacent to the Ark. It was an amazing stay. The hotel is new and clean. The staff were all courteous and friendly. Our family had 3 rooms. Everyone in our group enjoyed the breakfast. Waffles, eggs, hash browns, anything you could think of...fresh fruit. We all thought our rooms were very clean. The indoor pool was a nice feature. They also have a work-out room. Also, we did not have to pay the $25.00 per day parking fee at the Ark. We were able to walk across the parking lot to the Ark bus shuttle. We would definitely stay here again.
I appreciate the fact that this hotel is close to the destination (Ark Encounter). The hotel staff was very responsive (I had run out of shampoo and they provided a refill very quickly).Everything seemed to run smoothly and the room was nice and dark when it was time to sleep.
If youâre staying here youâre most likely visiting the Ark Encounter. This is by far the closest hotel to the Ark. You can walk through a gate to the parking lot of the Ark (saving you $15 parking fee). The hotel is newer and very clean. The staff are very friendly. There are no nearby restaurants or fast food. A great breakfast is complimentary. Every other day they provide clean towels. We would definitely recommend staying here if you plan to visit the Ark Encounter.
Loved the convenient access to the Ark Encounter and that the hotel was decorated with Ark Encounter artwork. The fitness center was one of the best outfitted of any hotel Iâve stayed in.
