Simple and nice!

Spark by Hilton, I learned, are other brand hotels re-done by Hilton. So while you don't have some "standard" Hilton designs, it is newly done; carpet, paint, etc. Very comfy beds and rooms. Breakfast is limited but overall fine!

Clean value hotel- freshly remodeled

For value priced hotel, it was clean and comfortable. I had an upgraded room with an upgraded price, so mentally I was expecting a little more protein selection for breakfast but the bagel - yogurt bar was fresh and clean.

Pleasantly clean and quiet

A lovely room: clean, quiet, and spacious. Amenities are basic, but everything I needed for a comfortable stay was provided. It seems the simplicity allows them to focus on what really matters. The room was exceptionally clean, and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. We didn’t try the breakfast. It appeared to be limited to bagels and cold cereal, with no eggs or hot options, but that was fine by us. When traveling, I generally prefer to grab something after being on the road for a bit anyway. I would recommend Spark if you’re staying in Merrillville.
