Hotel was a great location to things we wanted to do in the area. Bar tender was super nice she was so welcoming. If you listen to nothing I say listen now, bring your own pillows. The pillows were terrible haha! But overall it was a good stay and if we go back to the area I would book again.

Nice accommodation close to Siesta Beach. Great value for price and proximity. Siesta Beach and town is amazing. Friendly welcome and staff. Breakfast is more continental, needs improvement. Good size pool.

The walls were paper thin. People next to us in room 226 were up until 2a going in and out of rooms and making lots of noise. We tried turning down the AC to drown out sound but no help. Not sure why you would put people right next to each other when it was evident that there was plenty of other rooms available. Given the fact that rooms are so thin, please avoid placing them next to an already occupied room. We left early the next day so did not have a restful sleep. Don’t think I’ll be staying at Spark ever again.

My experience was there were roaches in our room. They did come and spray raid and tried to say it was due to maids leaving doors open while cleaning rooms. We left for the beach but when we returned the room smelled of the spray. It was the closest hotel to where we needed to be. It wasn’t a feel a Hilton property. It looked like a motel.

everyone was very courteous and professional!!! our room 126 was too close to the barn pool and very noisy. However, we kept our TV on the volume up a little and it was OK.!!’. The girls did a wonderful job in the breakfast area.!!! they were friendly and professional!!!

The property was clean and good quality for the money. There was a few issues I had with my bed, not being made and not being cleaned up, but was resolved quickly. Every employee I came across was very nice. Nice little happy hour going on at the pool. I would definitely stay again.
