For Ark Encounter travelers, this hotel is next door to the park's parking lot. Breakfast was included. Our room was clean. Lots of towels for everyone for a 2 Queen bedroom. We stayed in an accessible room and there's lots of space for a wheel chair, or for families with large strollers. Comfortable beds. We all slept well. No closet though if you wish to hang clothes.

Overall the stay was great. The only issue I had was with the continental breakfasts. They didn’t keep them well stocked til the end. If I got there on the later side, the remaining food options were limited.

Fabulous Hotel by the Ark

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.
