We loved our stay at the Hampton in, everyone was very nice and the breakfast was very good. The best part was this hotel backed up the The Ark so we could just walk over and not have to pay $15 for parking. I highly recommend this hotel.

The proximity of the hotel to the Ark Encounter is GREAT! A shuttle across the parking lot to the Encounter entrance would be an amazing addition to consider. Breakfast was delicious. A great variety to choose from for children and adults. Would suggest adding additional seating; possibly 6-10 more seats. I would recommend staying here. I will plan to stay here again on my next visit.

I asked for something to drown the on/off noise of the a/c unit and staff went out of their way to provide a small floor fan that did the trick! Breakfast was good tasting and substantial and the mini waffles were a big hit. Housekeeping came in the afternoon when we were exhausted and this should have happened when we we're away at the ark. Given the charge for the room parking should be free as it is with most other venues. Being close enough to walk through the gate to the ark was VERY nice. All in all a very nice stay with helpful attentive desk and breakfast staff.
