Hampton Inn & Suites Williamstown Ark Encounter, Ky

The breakfast was fantastic. So many choices including healthy ones. The oatmeal was delicious-had it 3 days in a row. The coffee was always hot. The location was great. loved that the breakfast seating room was available for guests to use in the evening. WE used it every evening to play cards. There was always at least 3 other parties doing the same thing. Appreciated the back door to our room as that meant we didn't have to walk far. The staff was so friendly, polite and accommodating. The beds were so comfortable as were the linens. Since there were 3 women having to get ready in the morning it was nice to have that 3rd sink in our suite. The location to the Ark was great. Unfortunately because 2 of us had sone mobility challenges we were unable to walk there though one of our party walked back to Hampton Inn through teh parking lot an gate. What a nice feature

Very close to the ark which was great.. it doesn't have a lot of food restaurants around it but if you drive 10 minutes down the road you'll find some fast food. The beds were very very firm and the pillows are so flat I asked for extra and it still wasn't good enough LOL. The room was clean but the shower had a little bit of brown stuff in it. There was no bar soap but I always bring my own so that was okay. The staff for breakfast was really nice. I don't eat pork and they didn't have regular eggs just a Southwest omelette which had veggies and ham in it so that was disappointing. But I loved the waffle station.

Breakfast and staff were excellent! Warm and cold options for breakfast no one should leave still wanting.The guests gathered around and we really sat together and ate together. Perfect strangers breaking bread together and talking without phones from the young to the old, ages 70 down to one years old. The cleanliness and location of this hotel was done with care and thoughtfulness concerning the guests convenience and comfort being put first. You can walk to the ark encounter from this hotel to get into the parking lot yes with babies and stroller. You can also ride the tram with the strollers and babies both young and old to get to the ark. We took two routes to get to the hotel one passed a Kentucky castle. I should warn you if you take that route at night it is very narrow, steep, winding and dark but we lived!! The other route smooth sailing so check google maps and look at the one that shows you all that winding road work verses the other option. That drive alone was an experience my family will never forget.

This hotel is locating at a very good spot to Ark. It is easy to walk through parking lots and take a ride to get Ark Encounter. Because of this sell point, this hotel is very popular with many people to stay. Hence, the breakfast is busy! They have a good variety of breakfast options which satisfied all of us. They also have fresh waffle baking that always have the long line to wait for making waffle. However, one of two waffle makers was not working well which was irritating people after waited long time and turned to use that one but have the messy waffle in the end. That's the only disappointed aspect during our stay.

I trip with my son to visit the Ark Encounter and found this great hotel with a view of room 327 (you can see the ark ) good breakfast, coffee 24 hours available; I will return with my husband now; 3 days is not enough to visit Kentucky; near the hotel are two excellent restaurants 8 minutes away, CRACKER BARREL OLD COUNTRY STORE-1131 fashion ridge rd, dry ridge and KELLIE'S HOMESTEAD-1108 fashion ridge rd, dry ridge.
