Excellent

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.
Nice stay. Front desk staff was excellent. Traveling with other family members and we were able to comfortably socialize in lobby.
Our room was very clean.

The staff was friendly, the rooms were very clean. The beds were very comfortable. The breakfast was fresh. It's the only hotel I'd choose when I come back.
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.
The staff went above and beyond to be welcoming and accommodating to me and my pets, under stressful circumstances.I am so thankful this great new hotel exists, and is run wonderfully! Also it’s so clean and fresh!
Room wasn't ready upon check in, front desk staff were slow and not helpful. Once room was "ready" I went up and the cleaning person was still in the room. Room was only half cleaned (still had trash from prior guests, sink was full of dirty water, etc.). Room has been remodeled but still felt old. Breakfast was very limited (bagel, packaged muffin, or cereal). Was fine for one night but wouldn't want to stay longer.
Was not a great experience. Firstly rooms were not ready at check-in. The guy at front desk did not at what time the rooms will be ready. The house keeper Christina was absolutely rude when I was talking to the front desk gentleman. When I said that i don't need adjoining rooms, she said I am not taking too you in a nasty tone. Then was told rooms will bex ready in 10 minutes. How do you clean 2 rooms in that time. Vacuum, beds, wipe down etc. 20 minutes later no status update. We left and got back after 5pm and got the rooms. The breakfast on the first day was very limited as the food delivery was not in. The best day was better. On departure they could not print out receipt. Could not assist with Hilton honors points. Said the bags were for certain Hilton honors guests not all. Not a great experience.

New hotel so very clean. Staff very polite. Breakfast is typical; nothing fancy but will do the job to get you going. Coffee was decent. My only complaint was the gym: there wasnt one. Apparently the property is new and gym wont be available/installed for ? 6mthns. The expedia liating didn't mention this and there ia no sign or message on checkin. Maybe i am making a big deal but a work out in the AM is important to me when travelling. to find out when i am dressed and ready to work out thay no gym is available is unacceptable to me.
Otherwise the property is good and recommended.
