Great place to stay and connected to the Ark Encounter parking lot. You do not need to get the Ark parking pass if you stay at this hotel. You can leave your vehicle in the hotel parking lot and enter the gate to the Ark parking lot for free but only if you stay at the hotel!

We asked for a handicap room. The shower flooded the bathroom and the handicap person we had was not comfortable at all I went to the desk to ask if we could cancel the next night and they told us no I could not get a refund for the night we did not want to stay. The rooms are cleaned every other day but with the flood we had in the bathroom left quit a mess and not extra towels. Would not stay here again!

We stayed here as it was the closest location to the Ark Encounter. This is a nice facility. Walking across the parking lot to the Ark Encounter was easy. The room was very nice and clean. We did have a little issue getting the fridge in the room working. Still not sure it was fully functional but it did manage to cool our Costco branded bottled water. Parking was cramped. It was always a roll of the dice to see if you would have a space or one that was close to an entrance. At least the room card could open other exterior doors that were locked for safety. Good call on keeping all entrances other than the main locked. It was neat to see my name being welcomed on the room TV when we entered the room. The hotel was very busy. Breakfast was included and it was obvious that the hotel was busy with all the people hitting the breakfast buffet. The two days we were there, items ran out on the buffet and we had to wait for them to be refilled. Lines could get a little long if you hit the buffet or were waiting for something to be filled. Tables got slopped up from the frequent traffic of people using them and seating was at a premium during breakfast depending on when you hit the buffet. Do not get me wrong, the staff were on top of the morning rush but it is hard to keep up with it. At no point though did I feel I was getting inconvenienced or held up though. I just wanted to mention that you should budget an adequate amount of time for the buffet.
