They assigned me to another hotel, not at Spark, which is 15mins away from the one I booked! They called me to change the hotel at 6:40pm, not before my check in time! Totally disrupt my itinerary of my trip!

The hotel had a waterline break, so they moved us to another hotel close by. I was not offered any perks or room rate discounts even though this was a big inconvenience.

The decor is a little cold and sparse. The air conditioner was unbelievably loud, parking was full and the breakfast was a letdown. However, the staff was friendly and it was clean.
