During our stay, our car got over 1500 dollars in damage in the hotel parking lot from a hit and run. Messed up our door pretty bad. We filed a police report and the manager/owner of Spark wouldn't help to find who did it by looking at the security camera and they did not care and would not refund us for the stay. Worst hotel experiences ever and normally I write awesome reviews and I was so excited to stay at this place, but had to cut trip short because of safety. I just wanted them to care but that is too much to ask. Very sad about this experience. 😢 if they are willing to help us by finding the person who hit our car or get the footage from the camera, I will write the best review, but I do not see this happening but I pray it does so we dont have to file a claim with our insurance company. Lesson learned.

The property was what you would expect for a former Americinn. Blah. Bed was hard. Box springs falling apart. Br flooring poor. It was roomy for disabled room. Looked nice enough overall.
