As I needed some large bandages because of a fall I took earlier in the day, the lack of a CVS, or the like, was disturbing. After driving from Chico earlier in the day I didn't want to drive an additional ten miles to Los Banos, just to return. Also, I can't remember the last time I stayed in a Hotel in which there was no coffee pot in the room. Yes, there was plenty in the Lobby, but I don't want to get dressed to go outside to get my morning cup before my shower. I found that odd. Otherwise, the place was great.

I was disappointed because Expedia advertised a rollaway bed at this property. Wheh I checked in after midnight, the clerk informed me they no longer had rollaway beds available. I was too tired to find another hotel at that time, so I decided to keep the room after contacting Expedia to ask for another hotel due to the false advertisement. The hotel was clean and newly renovated. The breakfast was limited, but there is a Dennys nearby.

Recent renovations have greatly improved the facility. It is good that Hilton now has a facility at this level. We will stay here again when we are in the area. We will also look for Spark hotels when we travel. We didn't participate in the breackfast option due to other plans.

This property has definitely upgraded to a cute modern hotel. Everything was amazing from the front desk host, the super comfy bed, cute room furniture, comfy couch in the room. Lets not forget they have everything you need in regards to hand soap, location, body wash, shampoo and conditioner mounted on their walls. Will definitely stay again and try their big in-ground pool.

We stopped at Spark by Hilton in Santa Nella en route from Oregon. The hotel was easy to find right off Interstate 5. The men who checked us in were so nice and friendly and explained where to park, etc. Our room was updated, spacious, and clean. It was nice to have a mini-fridge to use. The breakfast included bagels, muffins, cold cereal, yogurt, and hard boiled eggs, with coffee, tea, and juice. We would definitely come back to stay here again the next time we are passing through.
