While visiting my family in Northern KY, there was a tornado and no internet access. So I spent…read morethe entire trip going between hotels. This was the best of the lot. It was clean. Check-in was actually friendly. The lighting in the bathroom was great. The free breakfast had some interesting choices - not the standard things you see everywhere else in this price range. The store in the lobby made it super easy to grab a snack and charge it to my room. I found the room on Priceline and got a very good price, with no issues at all upon arrival. My only complaint - my King room had ample room, but the design was off, which resulted in a very dangerous clearance next to the right side of the bed. If you get up in the night, you may stumble and find yourself going right into the window - as I almost did. if you're alone, sleep on the other side of the bed - away from the window. If you're not... good luck! Other than the unfortunate spacing issue, this was an OK stay. On par with the new Holiday Inn Express in the area but can be had for much cheaper.

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.

I was quoted $103 for my night stay when I made my reservation I repeated that three times to make…read moresure I was hearing it correctly, I was charged 166. I have been fighting and fighting with them to get my bill changed first. They had to see if there was a phone call recording about this and there is so I've been told I am correct then I have to send my credit card statement then I have to send the bill from the hotel. I've done all of this and I'm still told they want more proof. What more proof do you want then? We were about 10 minutes early for check-in and we were told we could not be checked in until the exact time to go outside and wait so we did then for breakfast in the morning. I guess we were two minutes early and we were told it was not time yet so again we waited the two minutes we forgot something in our room. We called the hotel and told them we would be passing through on Sunday and we would pick it up when we got there on Sunday. The lady at the front desk was very nice but said it was nowhere around. It must be locked up in the safe so to call the next day when the manager would be in when we called and spoke to the manager he stated it was there and if we would like it, they could send it out to us at our cost. I truly wish I had never ever booked at this hotel. I don't know what more hoops they want me to jump through all as I want. Is my bill corrected.

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.

We checked in around midnight and immediately found COUNTLESS bugs all over the room -- on the…read morebeds, walls, dressers, everywhere. The longer we stayed in the room, the more bugs we noticed crawling around. It was absolutely disgusting. We went straight to the front desk and were told this was "normal for the season" and that moving rooms would not help because every room supposedly had bugs too. We had tickets for the Ark the next morning and there was a huge storm coming in, so we did not feel safe trying to drive around an unfamiliar area late at night looking for another hotel. We basically felt trapped into staying there for the night. The next morning I called corporate and was told the hotel agreed to refund everything. I explained we still needed time to find another hotel since we originally planned to stay 2 nights. When I called back around 3 PM after visiting Noah's Ark, suddenly they changed their story and said they were NOT refunding us anymore. After endless back and forth, they finally claimed they would "only" charge us $40 for late checkout and refund the rest, which I agreed to. Then came even more lies and confusion. The employee told me they "didn't know how to process refunds" and that I would need to call back when the manager arrived -- even though the person I had been speaking to, SANDRA, supposedly WAS the manager and had already promised the refund herself. Once we left, they ended up charging us for BOTH nights anyway. When I called the next morning, they completely denied ever offering a refund at all. The customer service was beyond horrible. Every single person gave different stories, lied about who the manager was, and refused to take responsibility. Absolutely one of the nastiest and most dishonest hotel experiences I've ever had. I've filed complaints everywhere possible. Videos of the bugs are on my TikTok, and I'm posting screenshots for proof. Avoid this place at all costs.

From check-in to check-out, the staff was friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home. The complimentary breakfast each morning was excellent and offered plenty of options to start our day off right. While the hotel's amenities are somewhat limited, we honestly didn't mind because the surrounding area provided everything we needed. The location is perfect for families visiting the Ark Encounter, with restaurants, shops, and attractions just a short drive away. Our room was clean, comfortable, and quiet, giving us the perfect place to relax after a full day of exploring. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better stay. We highly recommend it to any family visiting the area for the Ark Encounter or just passing through Kentucky!

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!

If you're from out-of-town and on your way to the Creation Museum or visit the Ark Encounter in Petersburg, KY... *DO NOT STAY AT THE SUNRISE INN* 1. The rooms were filthy.

Another guest admitted to me that her floors were so filthy it made the bottom of her new white socks completely dirty. 2. The pool was a lagoon. Green water with trash floating around. 3.
