Within walking distance to the Ark Encounter

We stayed here because it was close to the Ark Encounter. There is a gate that you can go through in the fence and walk across the parking lot to the Ark Encounter. The breakfast was good. They have different options. The eggs offered were scrambled and southwestern omelet. They alternated options every other day. Very kid friendly. Very busy hotel. Most everyone, including the guests, were very friendly.

Ran out of toilet paper and no hand soap. Had to request hair conditioner be refilled. Backup at waffle machine… you need 2 more waffle machine so people don’t need to stand in line for 15 minutes. The machine broke one morning and more backups. We were there for 4 nights and this could speak to the fact the waffle machine is an ongoing problem.

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.
