Summary: The room was clean, the bed made. No extras i.e. shampoo etc. No smoke detector and with the kitchen light flashing off and on it was not comfortable. When I turned on the tub water squirted out from the handle. This is an older line of rooms, 5, and we only saw one as attendents were not on site. Surrounding area is somewhat desolate, felt uneasy being the only one there.

Summary: The room was clean but there was dome confusion where the office was and why the restaurant wasn’t open on site of the motel.
But the person who checked us in was very helpful but it was done remotely and thru email which was strange to us!

Summary: Nice simple no frills hotel. Slow response to checking in, towel replacements and check in. If you need a clean non-expensive alternative to most hotels near the Ark Encounter, this fits. Hotel is for a place to sleep, shower only. No restaurants right by the hotel. Lots of restaurants within a 10 minute drive. Call Hotel a couple of hours before check in to receive a text message with door code and WiFi password. No office at the hotel location.

Summary: It was ok. Floor was wet and didn't have anything to wipe up. Room was clean but needed things updated or finished. Very old microwave and no coffee pot.
AC was cold so that was good.

Summary: Couldn’t believe it got a 10 on your reading. No coffee or machine. No ice machine. Room lights burned out. Ask for a light bulb twice but was never delivered. Was advised to go to their restaurant. A half mile away if we wanted coffee or ice. Wasn’t sure they would bring me or replace lights twice, but never happened. clean but still a work in progress. Over priced.

Summary: If clean, and not fancy, is what you're looking for, you will be fine here. Older property could use some renovation, but room was clean and had everything we needed for late arrival and early departure.

Summary: Do not judge the motel by its cover. The room was delightful. Be sure to go to the truckstop across the bridge to check-in with Sam. We were confused at first. The owners are friendly. We enjoyed our stay.
