First time at Spark… definitely will stay again

This was a new Hilton brand for us and we were very happy with the value, comfort and design. There are really convenient storage options that are often missing with other hotel brands. Hooks in main room and bathroom were appreciated. Nice shelving in both rooms too, making storage of clothes and toiletries easy. Comfortable bed, great shower and clean room. Continental breakfast included boiled eggs, bagels, hot oatmeal and several fruit options. Coffee available 24/7. We will definitely stay at a Spark hotel again.

Find somewhere else

There was no coffee pot in the room, the gym does not exist, when they 'made' my bed it was worse than how I left it in the morning, and the cleaning staff hovered while I was packing up, so I left early. It was uncomfortable to experience. I will not be back.
