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!

I tried this hotel because it is about 2 miles from the beach. If you leave early in the morning, you can find a parking spot at the beach and under 10 minutes. The pool is beautiful and the bar is very nice. Front desk is very accommodating and kind. The bathroom is extremely tiny with barely any room to turn around and there is literally no privacy in the hotel room. Our bathtub did not drain properly, but they fixed it the same day. Breakfast is very good and you can buy a few supplies in the lobby. It is very close to everything, including restaurants and stores. I did find the upstairs railing overlooking the courtyard to be extremely shaky and I did send a notice to the hotel, but never heard back. I do highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay there again.

I did not think the hotel matched the price. It was clearly that much only because of the location. The bathrooms were outdated and we had bugs crawling around that looked like tiny cockroaches. The Continental breakfast was the bare bones for what is considered a Continental breakfast. I will not stay there again.
