Property is right next door to the Ark. We were able to walk over from the hotel and avoid a parking fee. Super convenient. The room was clean, breakfast was pretty good, and the pool was fun for the kids.

Great Stay

The location was great for our purpose. The room was spacious, contemporary, and clean, which is the most important thing for me. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was adequate for my family's need. It had enough variety for the oldest and youngest of us. Overall great stay. I would highly recommend this Hampton Inn.

We liked that the hotel was close to the ark and it was a very comfortable stay, what we didn’t like was that the staff was rude when we asked if they could remove the trash or provide us with towels.

This is a very busy hotel. There were only 2 people managing breakfast. Took forever for them the keep the breakfast times restocked. If you asked them to bring you something it might take 15 to get a yogurt if you got it all at. They moved at a snails pace. Nobody was managing the seating area. Wiping off the tables when people left would have been nice. We had to clean off our own table with someone else’s mess. People were grumbling about how long it took to get items restocked. It just wasn’t a good situation for a hotel that is this busy. There were no pool towels. I asked for some when we first entered the pool area. I was told someone was folding them and they’d be right out. 3 hours later, still no pool towels. Had to get them from the front desk. You need more staff here.

I love that its right next to the arch attraction and that was convenient for us. We had a good night, only thing i advice when using the pool is wearing water shoes the floor they have there is super slippery and dangerous. My son was walking not running and slipped and hurt his head. I was panicked the rest of the time.

The property was clean, had easy parking, and was conveniently located next to Ark Encounter, so there was no need to drive there. The reason for the 4 stars on cleanliness is b/c our hallway needed to be vacuumed and never was during our stay. The room was clean, they passed the black-light test, but the mattress was terrible. The front desk staff was not the friendliest when we asked a question about dining options in the area, other than that, it was a decent place to stay for your Ark Encounter visit.

Family Vacation to the Ark Encounter

My family and I travelled from Tennessee to visit the Ark Encounter, and after a long and wonderful day, we were so thankful that the hotel was so close by. The front desk staff was so kind and welcoming, and room service was quick to respond to our texts. We really enjoyed the pool area after a hot day, and the bathroom was clean and spacious. I appreciated the many grab bars in the shower, because one of my sisters is handicapped and she felt safe. The breakfast bar the next morning was delicious with many varieties of foods, which was helpful for my other sister who has dietary restrictions. The seating area was comfy and easily accessible. Thank you so much to the Hampton Inn & Suites for making our family vacation comfortable and memorable. We will definitely recommend you to our friends in Tennessee!
