plugs would not stay in the wall to keep the tv on, the air conditioner seemed to have a short in it, sometimes it would not work at all and when it did, it was extremely loud. bathroom door with paint coming off, no plug in bathtub drain. we ended up losing a night's stay because we were ready to go find something else. it was selected due to be walking distance to the Ark.

Average for a motel

The room was average clean. But our room needed a few things. There was no vent in the bathroom, the toilet was loose. There were several cosmetic issues, dings in the plaster, etc. However, the beds were clean, the towels were clean, and the air conditioning worked well.

Overall Good

We booked here for convenience to the Ark and for the price & reviews. Yes it is an older motor lodge, but it is maintained pretty well and the cleanliness was excellent!! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The only negative we really had was the breakfast, which we didn’t eat. It consisted of just waffles, muffins, cereal, boiled eggs, & yogurt. From other reviews, I had expected more, such as a meat, ie bacon or sausage, or eggs, and maybe biscuits and gravy. But they do say it is a continental breakfast, so it is just that. So we drove 4 miles to eat in Dry Ridge which had several eating options. But El Jalisco Mexican food across from it is excellent!!! Huge portions of delicious food at good prices! Entrees are big enough to share! Even though it is “across the street “ from the Ark, we were glad we paid the $15 for parking since it was unexpectedly raining, and it is quite a hike from the lodging to the Ark entrance. And be aware that the Creation Museum is in another town about 40 miles away close to the Cincinnati airport, so be prepared to drive.

Decent motel option for the area, considering the hotel across the street was 4.5x the price. We stayed for three nights and the staff could not have been friendlier. Continental breakfast daily from 7a-9a at the office building. You can tell they are mid-remodel from being either a Days Inn or Motel 6, with newer bed, TV, Microwave, Keurig and fridge in the room. The pillows feel like they are the same since 1976. As well as the rest of the furniture being from the same 70s motel era. Good place to rest from being on the road, with a clean bed, hot shower and warm meal for not a lot of money. Also had decent WiFi and the Mexican restaurant up the hill was amazing. If you are visiting the Ark on a Budget, consider this motel.

The room was very clean, coffee & continental breakfast each morning was very nice & convenient. It is an older Inn. When you First pull in there is an old restaurant & store, you do question if it is a safe place, It is directly across from the Ark Encounter. The staff was courteous, rooms appeared to be updated, bed slept very well. The parking lot & rooms were full each night, so that tells you alot if people stay there.
