Advertised as new, but it’s not a newly built hotel, it’s a refurbished building and not a well done one. The bathroom was tiny, the toilet was literally in the way of the sink. The parking lot was overflowing with cars parked in areas that weren’t designated as parking spaces. One elevator was out so there was literally one elevator for all of the guests and staff to use.

Overall the stay at Spark was okay and staff was nice! One of my issues was some areas weren't clean. For instance at check in, in the dinning area there was a mess by the microwave. Elevator seems to always be dirty and have stuff on the ground. On top of it all one elevator was out of order and the other one wasn't always working. Me and five other people got stuck in the elevator during our stay, The elevator made it to the 1st floor but only the inside door opened. We could see the metal door on the other side. We had to ring the bell for emergency. We took the elevator back to the second floor and took the stairs. Ended up taking the stair the remaining of the trip because we didn't feel safe taking the elevator. Overall the room was clean and well kept.

It was sufficient to stay in - clean enough not to want to leave but it needed so many renovations. Everything looked old and not kept over the years so maintenance is lacking and there was only one elevator working that did cause a longer delay in getting to your room. The staff was decent and helpful although I didn't get enthusiasm like they try to convey in their mission by mentioning a "spark" in your experience. If you need a safe, clean, convenient stay then I recommend though but don't expect excellence.

Frustação

Ao chegar esperamos aproximadamente 01h para entrar. Nos colocaram no quarto errado. E só após reclamarmos que fomos trocados para o quarto correto. A limpeza do quarto em geral deixa a desejar. Com baixa manutenção. A cama é muito confortável. A equipe em geral é super solicita. Uma pena que a estrutura do hotel engane por fotos.
