Room wasn't ready upon check in, front desk staff were slow and not helpful. Once room was "ready" I went up and the cleaning person was still in the room. Room was only half cleaned (still had trash from prior guests, sink was full of dirty water, etc.). Room has been remodeled but still felt old. Breakfast was very limited (bagel, packaged muffin, or cereal). Was fine for one night but wouldn't want to stay longer.

New hotel so very clean. Staff very polite. Breakfast is typical; nothing fancy but will do the job to get you going. Coffee was decent. My only complaint was the gym: there wasnt one. Apparently the property is new and gym wont be available/installed for ? 6mthns. The expedia liating didn't mention this and there ia no sign or message on checkin. Maybe i am making a big deal but a work out in the AM is important to me when travelling. to find out when i am dressed and ready to work out thay no gym is available is unacceptable to me. Otherwise the property is good and recommended.

Good stay. Clean and modern. Decent breakfast. We were on the second floor and the walking above us was very loud so you may need earplugs like me. Really liked the setup of the room.

NOT A HILTON !!!

no pool !!no gym!! could not get the wi-fi to work front desk tried to help but just gave up wasn't a problem with just my phone my wife had same problem with her phone the continental breakfast was just okay bagels were awful. How Hilton could put their name on this new more budget brand was expecting something better with the Hilton name though I understand it was a cheaper version of Hilton I mean no gym no pool no wi-fi sill was $250 a night is unacceptable !!! Definitely better value at other hotel chains.

Unhappy At Spark in Traverse City, MI

This hotel leaves a lot to be desired…it has only been open 2 weeks. The staff were trying to make amends for all the problems we had. First off, check-in was 3pm. Our room was not ready until after 4pm. Dawn, the front desk clerk, gave us a goodie bag of chips & water for being patient. Our room was clean & neat, but no extra amenities. No alarm clock on night stand, no comfortable seating & no microwave, no plastic liner bags in the trash cans. I did get one from the front desk. Then after we settled in, there was loud squeaking from the upstairs room, people walking around & constant heavy footsteps from the people above. Plus, our room was on the end, next to the stairs to upper levels. They creaked loudly also. We had just come from a full EconoLodge in Cadillac, where we heard no noise from anyone around us in the surrounding rooms. All the creaking woke my husband up at night. Then the WIFI… it was practically non-existent. We had to sign into the hotel lobby’s insecure line to get any. The room door dead bolt kept popping out when the handle was pushed down to open the door. We were constantly playing with it to get the dead bolt to stay in, unless we needed it before we went to sleep. Then our second day, all the fire alarms in all the rooms went off for no apparent reason. It was one thing after another. I will not recommend anyone staying there until all the problems are fixed. They also ned a better breakfast menu. No protein unless you were lucky to get a yogurt.
