Great option for University of Rochester visits

Spark is an efficiency type hotel that has been made over IKEA style. Easy in, easy out. The staff was friendly and took pride in being present with guests. The included breakfast —bagels, cereals, hard boiled eggs and yogurt — is fine and convenient. Coffee bar in the lobby is nice. The “how is your stay going” texts are well intentioned and I suppose make it easy to contact the staff if needed. There are no descent restaurants in walking distance, though there many good eating options in Rochester within a 10 minute drive. There is a Costco down the street, which is nice fir fueling up, and shopping (we are Costco fans).

Great stay; great value!

We were so pleased with our stay. From check-in to check-out, we were always treated well and comfortable. The young lady, Sara, who checked us in checked several times during our 4 night stay to see if everything was good. The room was clean, fresh, and felt nearly new. The bed was quite comfy, and the room was cozy warm (even with frigid outside temps). The hot water in the shower was strong and uninterrupted. Overall, this hotel is a great value; we hope to stay there every time we return to the area.
