Donna B.

So, we went to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum (look for my reviews) and was very shy about booking a place to stay that wasn't a "chain" or well known. I trusted Yelp as I have in the past to help me. We arrived after a long day and I was pleasantly surprised. It's such a quaint place, that you can see that the check in is a booth in the diner. The main thing (and this is so important to me) is that it was clean. Bathroom floor and shower tiles were very clean. Bathroom......clean. Kitchen.......clean Beds.......clean and quite comfortable. A few things I would improve on (like the rug) but I think not having totally up to date modern furniture and stuff, they make up with down home friendliness. Saw many families here, as well as just couples. Noise was not a problem at all. The diner? CLEAN! Very clean for a diner. Great, great food. I'm definitely a fan! And very large portions. The breakfast I couldn't finish. Staff was very friendly and helpful. It's not the Hilton, if you want all the amenities, go there. It said up top that it's under new establishment.........so I predict that it's just going to get better and better. Because they certainly try hard!

Nice little room Clean Great price Friendly staff

See all

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.

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.

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.

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 loved our stay at The Chandler Hotel! The whole place was beautiful and thoughtfully prepared…read more The common spaces and our room were very clean. I loved the inclusion of locally made goods, like: the hand soap, chocolate truffles, and coffee they had available in the room. It was quiet and peaceful and a quick walk to Main Street. I loved learning about the history of the building and seeing old photos too. They also had a sound machine, which came in handy for us since I forgot the one my toddler sleeps with. You do have to make sure to memorize your key code or bring your phone everywhere (which most people do all the time). The lobby is key code access too and I almost got locked out once - whoops! We would be happy to stay here again and I'm sure we will be back someday!

It's also very close to a nice (not kidding!) Dollar General Market that is very handy for all those things I always forget to take on a trip. The Chandler is yet another reason to visit Madison. We are already looking forward to our next stay. Their practice of not having an employee who customers meet face-to-face and instead using text/email for entrance instructions is probably off-putting for some (it initially was for me), but their system works just fine. I encourage you to not be intimidated by it.

No fake powdered eggs; they had egg bites (better than Starbucks) and lots of other delicious-looking items. This is definitely a more updated, modern-looking hotel. My room was very pleasant.

This Hotel is pet friendly and we had a dog barking all day and waking us up early in the morning…read more The front desk said it was being handled but the dog continued to bark. I submitted a complaint to the Hotel and below is what their response was. "I am so sorry about the barking dog in the room next to yours. I completely understand how disruptive and frustrating that must have been, especially when you are expecting a quiet and comfortable stay. Home2 Suites is a pet-friendly brand, and we do our very best to ensure that both guests traveling with pets and those without pets can enjoy a comfortable stay. While we welcome our four-legged guests, we also understand that excessive barking can be disruptive. We sincerely apologize for the disturbance and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We will continue to do our best to address situations like this and help ensure all of our guests have an enjoyable stay. Thank you for your patience and understanding, and please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience." Basically they expect you to have patience & understanding. Do yourself a favor and don't stay at Home 2 Suites unless you want to sleep in a kennel!

I don't think I've ever seen any hotel do it more cheaply. The waffle machines are behind the bar - but on a Wednesday morning, the attendant said that only she could use it but they were too busy today. However, my husband and I were the only people there. We were given a TINY plastic plate to pile on cold scrambled eggs, cold raw bacon, any toast or biscuit you wanted. I had decided to have oatmeal, but the EVEN TINIER plastic bowl was so small that there would be no way to stir it. My husband did try to make his bran flakes so I got a picture, for reference. Coffee was Walmart pods - blah! The 2nd picture is of the coffee pot in the room. It is totally rusted - and dirty. I shared with the front desk that their coffee pots wouldn't rust so quickly if they didn't place them on the already small bathroom counter by the sink. That space is needed for us anyway! Loved the room, air conditioner, FABULOUS bed and the ambiance of the whole place.
