Okay stay but won’t return

Well I wouldn’t stay here again. Looked like Hilton had bought an old motel and remodeled it. Doors faced the outside (not sure if that was said in the description). We had a room with 2 queen beds. Room was on the small side which was fine for 2 people but 4 would have been uncomfortable. We didn’t bring our kids. Our first room had damp floors. Sink and bathtub did not drain well. Handle on toilet was very hard to press down. I could handle all that until the flying ants started popping up that night. Then we asked to change rooms. The second room was still damp. Due to Florida humidity is what they told us. Bathtub still clogged up but no bugs so we were good. “Pool” towels were the size of hand towels. Not useful. Breakfast was okay. No hot foods. Just bagels, cereals etc. Positives: staff was very friendly and accommodating. Beds were comfortable. Bartender was nice. Plenty of parking spaces. Very close to Siesta Key. Right near the bridge. Shops and restaurants near by.

Not the typical Hilton stay, but close enough to every thing Siesta Key. Hilton obviously bought an older hotel and upgraded it, but it doesn't give a Hilton vibe (except the pillows). Clean, quiet, has a pool and a pool bar. This is all about location. Restaurants, dining and shopping options all around; this hotel is a left turn and a right turn away from the best beach in Florida.

The reception named Claudia was very rude and disrespectful. She doesn’t even greet the guests. Room very dirty im glad i got my sheets from home. and we didn’t sleep all night from next door people, they were laughing all night. I won’t go there ever again even if it was for free. I forgot to mention it that I payed $500 per two nights 🙄

Pretty much a party hotel. Noisy, outdated. Technically an updated Best Western. Small rooms, bad bathrooms. Beds were comfortable with Hilton mattresses, pillows, and blankets. But everything else was below average.

Hotel For Adults Just Off Siesta Key

We needed a place to stay for two days until we could get into a condo on the beach we were staying for the month of May. We'd stayed here about 10 years ago when we met with contractors for walk through and during total remodel project of the beach condo. This stay was an even better experience. The front desk staff ( all shifts) we dealt with were professional, helpful and very friendly. My husband was recovering from a medical situation and the housekeeping staff went out of their way to accommodate our requests to help him be comfortable and get good rest while staying at Spark. The only downside was being woken by garbage trucks emptying dumpsters at close by restaurants at 5AM. Of course, that's not anything Spark has control over. And, it was convenient to have several good eatery's with-in walking distance.

Decent but- Strip malls, roads +parking lots.

Staff was good. location was clean. property photos and other items are a bit misleading. *More than a 2 mile walk to Siesta Key Beach which is pictured. Location is surrounded by very busy streets and behind and adjacent to strip malls. if you do try to walk, you have to run across the 8 lane roads! Property is Mostly surrounded by parking lots. Not exactly the "beach location we travelled in for". The"Free Shuttle" was about $15 every time we used it as "suggested donations" and does not run 24 hrs.They have tried really hard and done deecent job to add the "Hilton" feel but it does still have a motor lodge feel. On arrival we drove through the parking lot and tried to see if we could get another hotel. Unfortunately we would have had to pay one nights stay which at that point was $281/ night due to Spring break. Other options in Siesta Key that week were difficult to find. Its a decent hotel with decent staff but i do feel the pictures and reviews I read lead me to book here but wish we had not.
