WONDERFUL STAFF and LOCATION

We went there to go to the Ark Encounter. It is right across the parking lot, which was great! The staff at this Hampton Inn and Suites was WONDERFUL and very knowledgeable about the Ark Encounter. We would love to stay here again!

The hotel was nice and the staff was freindly and it is within walking distance to the entrance to the Ark. In my opinion, it was very much overpriced. We were unaware that there was a charge for parking and there was a $75 incidental charge as well...so the cost was much more than anticipated. The volume on our tv quit working the first morning (Sunday) and there was no maintenace available until the next day. Told 3 different staff throughout the day and the last person actually brought up a master remote and was able to turn up our tv. Every time we needed it turned up or down we had to get someone to come up and make the necessary adjustment. She was very nice about doing it for us, but it was very inconvenient for everyone. I guess it could have been poor planning on my end, I dont know, but I personally would not stay there again. Dry Ridge is very close to the Ark and has a lot of hotels to choose from and places to offer for food. Note to self for next time. 🙂

What I liked: The hotel fitness room gym was one of the best I've experienced; Extremely convenient to Ark Encounter; Free coffee and tea; Was clean and service was friendly. What I didn't like: The sink and shower drains were slow and filled up; the shower leaked alot, out onto the bathroom floor; we had to pay $7.50 per day just to park at the hotel; the patio fire pit was broken; meager selection for breakfast.

Great hotel

Bed was very comfortable. The hotel was very clean. The breakfast area was bright & cheery. There was a decent variety of food items. The front desk was unable to provide any guidance for the Ark. granted it isn’t their job but would certainly add to the customer service aspect.

It was an amazing visit to the Ark experience. The staff at the Hampton did SO much to help our stay. I have cancer and the hotel staff made sure we were on the first floor. They also gave us a room right near an exit and answered all of our questions about transportation and parking.
