Well, it is one of the newest additions to a choice of hotels in this area and to the Hilton chain. I am curious as to where this hotel is supposed to fit in with the many other hotel brands. I will say it is meant to come in at a lower price point and it is labeled as a "premium economy" option. When booking I read that Spark really came about from the ease of converting some of their older hotels and even buying some others to turn it into this particular option.
Very simple amenities. If you like to grab a few travel lotions, soaps, or shampoo to throw in your gym bag or for those "overnight stays" you are out of luck. It's one of those places where everything is attached to the wall except lotion so make sure you bring your own. I guess this is one way to keep the prices down. Another way to keep prices down is not offering you your snack and water when checking in as a Hilton Honors member. Plenty of towels for your stay, especially if it just over the weekend and the room has space saving amenities that make you say hey that is a good idea. I do like the small refrigerator and microwave that is standard to have options in the room.
The shower is small. I am saying if you drop the soap you need to step out to pick it up. Perhaps it was just my room and the location but to avoid a shock let the shower run for at least 5 to 7 minutes before the hot.... well warm water kicks in.
Now to breakfast. If you are looking to cut down on your carb intake then breakfast will be greatly disappointing. On my stay all that was offered was bagels, toast, cereal and that's about it. Oh yeah, they also had oranges, apples, and bananas.
Overall, not a bad spot to stay. Hopefully this can still be said as this is a new hotel (refurbished) but the newness wears off fast and service goes down in my experience when staying locally. It would be nice if the digital keys worked so you can just go to your room after your travels. Unless you really want to get your water and snack. Prices are very reasonable compared to other options that give you less. read more
