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!

Besides the additional $30.00 for the room because I was from out of state was unexpected. Our Room was clean and if it wasn't for the appearance of a Palmetto bug when we entered the room it would have been fine. When you say breakfast is included coffee, bagels, cereal and Hard boiled eggs. No Fruit, no toast. Overall, for a Hilton it was very disappointing.

Wisconsin Winter Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at Spark Siesta Key. You could walk to dining and shopping. You could drive to the beach or Siesta Village-there are a lot of free public parking areas to get to the beach. I saw the hotel had beach chairs and umbrellas if you wanted to mess with that. Great pool area with a hot tub. Also a bar. Good music piped in. Pool towels could be upgraded-not much of a towel. Suggestion: sign out at front desk or get charged?? Area around ice machines could have been cleaner. They also had a washer/dryer for guests to use. Liked the extras in the room-

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.
