The room was very good. I enjoyed the pool and the location of the hotel to everywhere I needed to be. What was a sore point is the staff. No one says the basic courtesy to us. Good morning is basic yet none says it. They walk right pass you even before cleaning your room it's not even said. Please teach your staff basic courtesy. I will not visit spark again.

I only stay at Hiltons, however, very disappointed in the breakfast. Other Hilton locations usually have a very descent breakfast, that has sausage, waffles, omelets but you only had oatmeal, cereal and bagels. Had to go out for breakfast. That was the only disappointment.

Overall the stay was fantastic! Pros: The staff was friendly and accommodating. The continental breakfast was quite convenient and stocked with bagels, muffins, cereal, fruit and great coffee. Room very comfortable, nice pool & pool bar with music. Con’s: I was slightly overwhelmed and disappointed with the cost of water and snacks, $8 for a 1liter smart water was outrageous. Water is $2.50 at the stores across the street. Beware of the “free shuttle”, it’s not free, the suggested tip of $3-$5 is pretty much mandatory and the shuttle driver will make sure you know it. I recommend and will stay again.
