The lobby is nice. The breakfast was average. The room was not the greatest just over painted and didn’t appear clean looking . The bathroom was grose. The shower was peeling all over, it appeared to have mold..just room looked old and they tried to update and failed.

Bring your own hand soap.

I will start with the positive: the bed was comfortable, the hotel was quiet, it is conveniently located, and the staff was friendly. Now for the negatives: there are no drawers for clothing, etc., no microwave except in the dining area, no hand soap, no hot food at breakfast (unless you count bagels or instant oatmeal), and the assortment of cold food is not very good (bagels, cereal, and plain yogurt, fruit if you are early). I asked for hand soap and was told to use the shower gel... there is a dispenser next to the sink, but it has hand lotion, IMHO, hand soap is preferable to lotion in the bathroom.

The bagel bar breakfast got old quick but it was ok and the woman working the breakfast area was on top of things . 1 of the 2 elevators was broke down for most of our 6 day stay so that took extra time getting up and down . I didnt see anybody use the little pool but i suppose it would have worked for a dip . Over-all i would not stay here again but you do get what you pay for and this is a budget hotel so .

First time staying at a Spark Hotel. The good - the bagel bar breakfast was good, and overall the room was clean. The location to the OCCC was nice. The bad - I knew that it was a budget friendly Hilton brand but it felt cheap and old. The water got warm, not hot. The floor was uncomfortably firm, felt like standing on concrete. The provided soap/shampoo/conditioner felt like wax and I would definitely recommend bringing your own. Lastly, the bedroom and bathroom door collided with each other and were awkward to operate.

Property needs some TLC. Hotel was decent for a one night stay. I got the king size suite, which I couldn’t use the living room area because there was no TV. Would I stay there again most likely no.

Mediocre, maybe worth the low cost?

Minimal staffing available for late night check in, waiting at front desk for minutes before anyone showed up. Shower knob extremely difficult to turn and close all the way. Water dripping, not eco-friendly. Otherwise just fine experience. Nothing outstanding to report.
