This was the prefect spot to get to the Ark Encounter as well as within walking distance of eating places and a really cute ice cream shop. My daughter had fun playing with the toys provided, it was nice to not have to bring a pack n play, and the bathroom was really nice. The bed was very firm, but other than that it was perfect for an overnight.
