We were there for a weekend. Mr. Demaris greeted us and made us feel welcomed. He was Great. What I did not like and could not understand was on the next day Saturday. My cousin wanted to go swimming she asked for a towel and they gave her a hand towel. Later that night when we returned I requested towels and wash rags. I was told they only had 2 towels left and no wash cloths. I couldn't believe it I had to ask again. Then my Aunt called me from her room and asked me if I had service come I told her I had my do not disturb sign out. She said she took hers off but no one came and she was told they didn't have any left. The person on the late shift was helpful he found me 2 rags and gave me the towels and found rags for my Aunt as well.

Chose this hotel as it was highly recommended on the booking site. Hotel seemed like it was an old hotel that was cheaply renovated. There was a strange smell throughout, we could hear other guests from their rooms and hallway from inside our room, and while "tidy" it didn't seem clean. Will likely not stay at a Spark property again.

As far as food, the continental breakfast was OK, but no one came in to refresh my room did not come and change the towels or empty the trash. The manager on duty had to go around and search for face towels.

Completely updated hotel

Completely renovated, so basicallly like a brand new hotel. Breakfast options were very basic like bagels, cereal, yogurt, and muffins. No meat or pancakes/waffles. They also had apples and oranges. The beds were average comfort for a hotel. Staff was friendly and helpful. Tony at the front desk was great.

Nice hotel

I had picked my room on the Hilton honors appt prior to check in, however, I wanted to check in at 2 but he could only put me in a room across from the elevator. Don’t ever stay in a room near the elevator, lol. I don’t understand how my original room “wasn’t ready” an hour before check in but that room was. Weird. Besides the excessive noise, the hotel was nice. Beds were comfy. Pillows were not the best. Breakfast included bagels, cereal, muffins, yogurt, oranges and apples. The pool was so nice and very clean. We stayed here and went to the Great Wolf Lodge and it was very close by.

My family and I had a great experience at this hotel. It was very clean and staff were very friendly. Our room was clean, the only thing I found was like a clump of hair by the bathroom trash but other than that everything was very clean. Location is very convenient only a few mins away from Busch Gardens and Outlet.

For an entry level Hilton brand, it’s impressive to see business isn’t limited to leisure. Diamond Honors preferred parking spaces impressive. Breakfast pretty good. Coffee much better this visit even if it’s Folgers. The iron board is the child sized but overall room is very nice.
