1. Breakfast was good but so busy we had to wait for food to be cooked. 2.The jets on the hot tub are too low to be effective after a long day at the Ark which was fabulous. 3. Location was awesome for anyone going to the Ark Encounter.

My stay at The Hampton Inn & Suites was one of the best hotel experiences! Hotel staff very welcoming and helpful; going down to breakfast was a bright and cheerful experience every morning, and good selection of food choices! I enjoyed the warm and pleasing decor of my room and bathroom was spacious! I slept very comfortably! I would definitely want to come back, and hope I can do so in the not too distant future!

The room was very nice, comfortable, clean and accomodating. Breakfast was well displayed with a good assortment of healthy and hearty options and was well maintained. Our check in staff was very friendly and informative especially regarding the Ark Encounter next door and other local interests. All in all a very enjoyable stay.

We paid extra for a room with a view of the Ark. But, the Ark was really far away. This photo was taken with 10x zoom. It's not worth the extra that hotels.com charges. Get a larger room instead!

One night stay to visit the Ark. Everything looked good. However, the commode did not flush properly and the night desk clerk had to come up twice to use the plunger because there was no on-call plumber on staff.

Overall, the hotel was pretty good. Apparently the truck with supplies did not arrive when it should have, so breakfast food was similar every day. Yogurts were kept in a bowl of ice, not a refrigerator like other of the Hampton Inns that we have been too. When I booked the room, it had free parking, when we arrived, there was a $7 charge per day for parking. Staff were very friendly and did their best to accommodate our needs.
