Staff were friendly and very accommodating. We left another property that was subpar. Spark staff were kind enough to let us check in early and rest before a family memorial we flew in for. Will be happy to try Spark again!

Great location to beach, otherwise not great

The pros to the hotel, are its location to the beach. The hotel itself is nothing special in fact our room had mold in the shower and a sink that was clogged. I also didn’t like that anyone could enter the property and essentially walk right up to my room. The staff was very friendly and supportive, so that was a positive.

Would definitely recommend this to everyone.

All aspects of the hotel were great except for 2 things. Unfortunately they were 2 big things. The mattress was terribly lumpy and very low in the center! Also, all 4 pillows smelled SO bad we couldn’t sleep on them; and used rolled up towels. I will say that the room was very clean and the staff was great and knowledgeable about the area.
