The hotel was great- clean, comfy and close to the Ark experience snd 45 mins from The Creation museum. However I will never go through Expedia again. They made adding a day a nightmare and acted like they didn’t understand that we were just trying to extend our stay. They also own hotels.com so I won’t go through them either.

First time I gave a two stars for Hilton properties. The reason is because the room had a strong smell of urine (dog). The breakfast is worth it for the price but they took forever to refill it. However,that the customer service was very good.

Most convenient hotel next to the Ark Encounter. Although the room was spacious, it was on the first floor facing the parking lot - not so much privacy.

Everything has been good the property, but I have a major issue with a billing problem that can't seem to be rectified. Expedia and Hampton all point to fingers to the other person and nothing gets done. I've been in management for many years and I'm retired now. All it takes is one person with authority to make this happen. It is not that hard. Everyone seems to be working hard but nothing comes to a positive resolution. Obviously this is leaving a big stain on my overall feeling of staying here.
