They are pet friendly and have a great space to walk your dog etc. Away from cars and green. It was great. My husband says he got the best nachos he has ever had from a local food truck. We will be back.

Our room was fine although USB outlets/sockets on both side of the bed would have nice. We have sleep Apnea machines/earphone chargers that need to be plugged in at night. However, our big disappointment was the breakfast having compared it with other similar level/price hotels in California. Overly sweet and cheap cereals and muffins/over ripe bananas/no scrambled eggs & bacon or waffles/warm apple juice. Other hotels we have stayed in recently have all these things that are missing in Sparks. Also, the coffee machine serves pretty mediocre coffee.
