What I liked: The hotel fitness room gym was one of the best I've experienced; Extremely convenient to Ark Encounter; Free coffee and tea; Was clean and service was friendly. What I didn't like: The sink and shower drains were slow and filled up; the shower leaked alot, out onto the bathroom floor; we had to pay $7.50 per day just to park at the hotel; the patio fire pit was broken; meager selection for breakfast.

Great hotel

Bed was very comfortable. The hotel was very clean. The breakfast area was bright & cheery. There was a decent variety of food items. The front desk was unable to provide any guidance for the Ark. granted it isn’t their job but would certainly add to the customer service aspect.

It was an amazing visit to the Ark experience. The staff at the Hampton did SO much to help our stay. I have cancer and the hotel staff made sure we were on the first floor. They also gave us a room right near an exit and answered all of our questions about transportation and parking.

I liked how close we were to the Ark park. I did not like how noisy the pool was. There were some kids in there that were screaming high-pitched squeals, and their parents said nothing to them. I realize this is not the hotel‘s fault but maybe putting a sign in there would help.

Great loacation

The location is top notch. The breakfast is yummy. However, get there between 6 and 8 as it starts to get packed around 8 till 10. The pool is highly chlorinated which is understandable for the amount of use but it is nauseating. Would be nice if there was better ventilation. Rooms are 5 star.
