The bad, Room felt old, the bathroom door had three different tones on blue on it from all the times it had been fixed. The breakfast was the worst free breakfast I have seen in a hotel. The good, pool was nice, heated and hot tub was ok. They had a nice fire table by pool and little pool bar was very nice.

Anne, Hopewell Junction

Firstly, the microwave is in the main dining which is used by hotel guests. Microwave and safe lock was not in the hotel room. Having the microwave used by the public and entire hotel guests is a health violation. My hotel key card locked me out of the room during the night and into the morning hour. I am requesting a refund.

Front desk employees were amazing !! However the cleaning staff was extremely rude. We had been sneezing all night and we asked if they could do a deep cleaning of the room. She had told us no, and then five minute later she knock on our door and came in started cleaning the room as we were trying to get ready. This made us feel extremely uncomfortable and her behavior was unprofessional.

I really wanted to like my stay. I am a huge Hilton fan. My job requires large amounts of travel, so I frequent hotels, specifically Hilton. I was thrilled to stay in the spark in Siesta key. Unfortunately, my stay was not as pleasant as I would’ve liked. The linens were dirty, roaches in the bathroom, and lack of towels. As I had only three days and a jampacked schedule with my family, I was hoping that the cleaning staff would come in and clean the roaches off the floor and perhaps change the linens, but unfortunately, they did not. Since I’m not a complainer, I didn’t go to the front desk and request new linens, because I kept hoping that maybe the cleaning staff will come by the next day and give me more towels, clean the dead roaches off the floor, and clean the room more efficiently. The cleaning staff certainly did come in and take my old towels, but that was the extent of any cleaning that happened. The roaches stayed on the floor in the bathroom. That actually shocked me, considering Hilton hotels are always held in such high regard, and I’ve had such amazing experiences in them. Although I frequency as a key, I will not be choosing spark in that area again. I will give it one more chance if I come upon another spark Hilton in another area of my travels.
