Spark
The staff was super friendly and nice. The room was simple. The pillows were very thin and had an awful smell. Although the staff changed the pillows it was still smelly. Breakfast was very basic. It is essentially a bit upscale motel with a nice lobby.

Definitely didnt feel like a Hilton
They just had construction on their showers and are still having issues with them... I think if i am paying for a hotel, i shouldnt have to move rooms because my shower doesnt work especially after just being under construction. It was extremely disappointing and they just wanted to keep moving me rooms until it worked out. Thankfully i had a super nice women check me out that gave me a discount on my stay but i dont think i will be staying there again after all the stress of what was supposed to be a stress free night.

This is not HILTON standards.
I cannot believe this is a “Hilton” brand hotel. We were suppose to stay longer but cut it short as we were not impressed with the rooms at all. Very very dated and extremely small bathroom. Staff were super nice and helpful but for the price you are paying for this hotel you are not getting a deal at all for a Hilton

Beware of cockroaches
Within the first hour of being in the room, my husband smashed the first cockroach of the stay. More to follow. The walls were paper thin. The bathroom was so small one could barely turn around in it. You had to step into the shower to open the door to get out. Hilton is tarnishing its brand by offering this hotel as part of its collective.

The property itself was converted from an older hotel but was tastefully renovated. Our room was very comfortable and the service from the front desk as well as breakfast area was great. Considering the price of neighbouring hotels it was the most affordable option but definitely does not have the frills of other hotels. Breakfast bagel bar is fine for a few days but it gets old pretty quickly. Overall, it was good for our needs as we just needed a place to sleep.

Neighbors were very loud, but it was so late that it was too much to try to change rooms. Staff was wonderful. Overall value for the money was fair..It wasn’t worth the $152 I paid for the night. It was basically a clean motel room not what I expected and no microwave available either.

Loud Party by the pool to late into the night.
I stayed at the hotel on a Sunday night for a Monday morning business meeting. Big party by the pool kept me awake. I was on the 4th floor and heard everything. I had to call the front desk twice before someone went outside to break up the party.
