Just off the Interstate but far enough that there was no traffic noises. Staff was courteous, masked the whole time and room was wonderful. The only drawback was the regular old shower head had a low flow, so it took awhile to rinse off. Beds were firm, pillows were firm - a great night's sleep. Plus very close to Walmart for forgotten items (like my wife's readers). Breakfast was very nice also. Coffee was from a single cup process machine but it had several settings from light to strong. Great coffee. And juice was also great, not watered down as some places do. Recommended.

Everything at this point. The room smells straight up like…read moremold and mildew. They are fully booked. So they "can't" move us to another room. I had to ask for something to kill the smell. I got a laundry deodorizer. Now the room smells like perfumed mold and mildew. Candy wrapper left in open sight. Had to kill fruit flies upon entering the room. The fridge is warmer than the room. In addition, the chic on duty doesn't know how to work the coffee maker. Hot water anyone? I can only imagine the disaster breakfast will be in the morning. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO WASTE THEIR MONEY HERE!!!!!

If you're looking for a place close to the Ark.. I'd say this is a pretty good option (considering there is limited options) I came into lobby and asked for pricing details. I got the rate and went back out to the car, thought it was high and went to the microtel down the street to see what their rates were.. they were lower but definitely less clean... came back and Hannah at the front desk asked me if I had left and gone somewhere else to check.) I felt like she was insinuating this rudely. PRO's Hotel has a pool open til 11. Free breakfast in the morning (to be determined if that's any good) Room is spacious. Seems clean. Bed is comfy. TV channels had a wide variety. Our queen room had a coach and a chair too. Easy access to parking lot from back door. Bathroom is huge. CON's Not the best area- sirens, garbage around. Kind of difficult to get to things. Limited options for much. Ate at Wendys and it was awful. Lobby is super nice, remainder of hotel is... ok. Just ok. Loud, lots of doors shutting and tons of noise when other rooms use their water. ****Floor is SUPER UNLEVEL. Worry the building is unstable. Floor freaks and cracks. Literally heaved. It's so unlevel that the drawer on the nightstand kept opening on its own. *** sketchy. Room has a hint of smoke smell. Overall, don't hate it. Have stayed in way worse. But for the price it's nuts. Just stayed at another Hilton the night prior, and that one was awesome. This one is eh.

This is a brand spanking new Holiday Inn Express in Dry Ridge. It was so new when I stayed there…read morethat I could still smell the paint. If you're in Dry Ridge you're probably here for the Ark or (my situation), you're from Kentucky and you can't stay with your parents because they keep the house too damn hot. Just weeks after opening, this place is already PACKED. Religious tourism is real. And what that means for you as a guest is these people are all so nice (I have honestly never been "Good Morning'd" so much in my life...) and they have kids. So get to that indoor pool early or you won't be able to enjoy it. The free breakfast is surprisingly good. I highly recommend you get up early for that to avoid the crowds. The aforementioned indoor swimming pool and the gym are also nice and clean - good amenities to have, particularly the pool which you rarely see anymore. The hotel in general is very nice but the rooms have some strange features - like an almost complete lack of storage space. Maybe my room was an anomaly because it was at the very end of the hall, but it felt a little cramped. If you're staying there with a family (as it appears most people are), these rooms are going to feel very small and you'll notice the lack of shelves or drawer space. There was a coffee area and a mini fridge. The lobby has a small store and a single desk "business center". I would definitely stay here again when visiting family in the area. It's better than average for sure.

My first morning, I went to the lobby to have coffee and to study-at 6am-and the music was blaring-not just in the lobby-all the common areas in the ground floor. There was no escaping it. I asked a staff person if it could be turned down...she said no. "The owners won't let us-they think the upbeat music is a good way to get people in a good mood. So many people have complained about it." The movie 1984 immediately came to mind. Extremely overpriced-nothing to offer except VERY expensive snacks and water. I won't be back.

My family went to visit the Arc Encounter and Creation Museum and I was looking for an affordable…read moreplace to stay at during our four day three night stay coming from Virginia Beach. We weren't looking for a place with huge rooms, or a pool, or a workout room or anything extra like that, just a clean place to rest our feet after long 7hr days walking around the museums. I was looking around at several places to stay and wanted something a bit more upgraded than a motel, but also something that is comfortable for our family of four. So I booked a three night stay here, cause it was very affordable (around $85 a night) in comparison to some other places that I was looking at that were around $150-$200 night and didn't even include breakfast! So major win! I found out that later that it would have been even cheaper if I booked with them through their website (around $75 a night instead of $85) instead of through the Arc Encounter website so jot that down y'all! The service that we received over the phone by Angela even prior to arriving to the hotel was excellent. She was informative, professional, and kind and was able to send us our reservation and answer our questions. A ten hour drive later we arrived to our destination and it was easy to find! Once we arrived there was Angela at the front desk just as kind and pleasant as she was in the phone. Check in was easy and we entered our third floor suite and was pleased with the cleanliness. We had two queen beds and and a window seat that the kids loved to play at. The mini fridge was a good sized one that held lots of drinks and snacks that we brought along and the bathroom was clean. The sink looked like it was newer with a marble looking stone, the shower did its job and did have a bit of some areas in the bathtub area that needed a fresh coat of paint, but it was clean nonetheless. The breakfast in the morning was really good and was over three hours long which is appreciated for early and late risers! The staff was on top of keeping the eggs, sausage, pastries, hot syrups, drink items, cereal, bagels, toast, fruit, yogurt, ect stocked and replenished. The kids loved making their own waffles and drizzling hot syrup all over them! Overall I would HIGHLY recommend staying here, the price is just unbeatable and the room and breakfast was better than some places that I've stayed at that was much pricier!
