The property was converted from a best western plus, with that said the building was older BUT they cleaned it up, painted replace furniture etc. the website is in correct, it does NOT have a gym, and the breakfast is bagels and cereal everyday! The staff was very friendly, nice and professional. The pool was a very good size for a hotel, the pool bar was great had a lot of variety. If I had to pick one thing I liked best, the room gets cleaned EVERYDYAY! That is so hard to find these days. It’s actually very nice. I would love to see hotels bring that back. One thing I really disliked was double speed bumps. If you are reading this and either go to the property or know the property then you know how absolutely annoying and obnoxious it was! Honestly I really enjoyed our stay and would go back. It’s on 2.5 miles to Siesta key beach. Very convenient. Lots of restaurants around as well.

The staff was generally good. They responded well to requests and were very polite. I was surprised that the breakfast was a continental breakfast. That gets old quickly.

Hilton tried hard to make it a Hilton but fell short. Where: old bathroom shower, smalller room sq footage. No work out space. Breakfast was minimal. Having said this, Spark is that kind of property. It is a new "brand" so my wife and I tried it but we would drive the extra time mile to stay at a "real Hilton". Maybe you make it better known it is not a Crockford.
