Amazing service, i forgot my wallet had no issues calling them and letting them know about it, and then getting back into the room to retrieve it since the room hadn't been cleaned yet after we checked out. We stayed in a nice clean and updated room. Water pressure was great and the hot water was super hot which for me was great.
Perfect, clean, peaceful, simple place to stay. Right across the street from the Ark Encounter. Even nice extras like Dove soap instead of baby prison soaps. Will be back!
The room was clean and nice. Continental breakfast was disappointing… yogurt was the only thing that wasn’t bread/carb and I’m allergic to milk so I didn’t have breakfast. The experience overall was good, but we woke to no hot water. We were in town for a funeral and so we weren’t able to shower before the funeral. When we reported it to the desk, they just kind of dismissed it’s
We enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast wasn’t anything special but was perfectly fine for my husband and I. It’s an older hotel but was nice and was only a short walk to The Ark Encounter. The staff were very friendly. We’d definitely stay there again.
I liked this motel. It was clean. Our room was nice. The attendant was very nice and helpful. Breakfast was simple fresh and good. I would stay either again.
Going to the Noah's Ark exhibit from South Carolina. This cute hotel/motel is right across the street. The rooms have that super clean new room smell! Heat works almost too good. Hot water! Nice size rooms. Super friendly service. Definitely would recommend.
Very convenient location, especially if you’re visiting the Ark Encounter! The rooms may not be new, the are very clean, nice toiletries and overall a great experience. Hidden gem likely underutilized because of the bigger chain hotels nearby. Would definitely recommend staying here since you will get great value for your money.
My sister, my niece and I stayed at the sunrise motel and we had the best service we have ever had. The staff, including the cleaning staff, were gracious and kind, professional and smiling all the time. They brought us extra coffee, extra cream extra towels. Anything we asked of them they did with a smile. I highly recommend this motel. It's a very simple basic motel. The rates are fantastic. The rooms, although simple are clean and the staff is amazing. Please stay at the sunrise motel when you travel through williamstown kentucky
