Room was clean and beds comfy but had an old smell. Bathrooms were very old, and had no fan. The pool was very cold, the pool towels were very small, and one of the pool chairs was very dirty. When we checked out at 530 am there was no one at the counter and a lady from the breakfast services had to come over to check us out.

El Hotel limpio, bueno y amable el personal. Desayuno con huevo, pan, cereales, yogurt, avena, queso crema, jugo. Sin embargo, es lo mismo todos los días. El Aseo de las habitaciones es un dia de por medio. Yo lo recomiendo para cuando vas a estar todo el día en parque. Cerca de farmacia, pizzería y tiene transporte a universal gratis de 8:30 y receso 6:00pm

We realized at 7pm, day of check in, that we did not have a shower curtain. My husband went down to the front desk and asked that someone come up with a shower curtain. He was told that housekeeping was gone for the day and they didn’t know where to get one. They offered to change our room but we had already unpacked and didn’t want to repack and move. He said take a shower curtain from another empty room. He was told they would look into it and get us a shower curtain. An hour later I called down to the front desk regarding the shower curtain, I was told they were looking into getting one. By 9pm a maintenance worker was sent up with a shower curtain, it took him 5 seconds to put it up. At the sub par breakfast the next morning, I had to go to the front desk to let them know the coffee urn was empty. It took 20 minutes to replace it with a full one. Not the best hotel experience.

You get what you pay for!!!

Spark is your standard 3-3.5 star budget hotel. It was fine for a night. Rooms could use a revamp. Upon entry, I did notice a stale, mildew smell. I do appreciate that they offer complimentary breakfast; however, I did not partake. If you’re on budget and looking for convenience this hotel will do.

Bad experience

The hotel interior was very run down. Carpets stained, crumbs on ground. Hair in bed that did not belong to us. The shower had mold on the bottom and filled with water even with the shower setting on.
