This a spark hotel by Hilton. I expected more. The room was fine beds were great. But there was no ice bucket in my room. The continental breakfast was lacking. Bagels toast and cereal. That's not breakfast. They accept dogs so that's a plus as I travel with my dogs.

Horrible experience during hotel renovation from Hampton inn to Spark. Shocking hallway environment. Cant believe it stays open still.
1. Also asked to double pay prepaid room, like other guests before. No apologies from front desk.
2. Limited hotel amenities, including cold-only breakfast. Elevator not functioning halftime.
3. Noise
If hotels unable to provide service expectedly and requires complete renovation, please just shut down temporarily, inform and refund guests instead of insisting opening for money making.

I struggle to even give this joint one star, but I had to give it one to generate a review. As a long-time Diamond, I know how it should be and this one isn't! First, I thought I was staying at a Hampton Inn, but it turns out it's a lower level of service and not even called Hampton Inn. I was looking for a Hampton Inn, no wonder I couldn't find it. The place was under construction with all the associated inconvenience and noise, etc. I guess from now on I'll have to call the hotel to be sure it's still what they say online?
