1. Breakfast was good but so busy we had to wait for food to be cooked. 2.The jets on the hot tub are too low to be effective after a long day at the Ark which was fabulous. 3. Location was awesome for anyone going to the Ark Encounter.

My stay at The Hampton Inn & Suites was one of the best hotel experiences! Hotel staff very welcoming and helpful; going down to breakfast was a bright and cheerful experience every morning, and good selection of food choices! I enjoyed the warm and pleasing decor of my room and bathroom was spacious! I slept very comfortably! I would definitely want to come back, and hope I can do so in the not too distant future!

We paid extra for a room with a view of the Ark. But, the Ark was really far away. This photo was taken with 10x zoom. It's not worth the extra that hotels.com charges. Get a larger room instead!
