Clean value hotel- freshly remodeled
For value priced hotel, it was clean and comfortable. I had an upgraded room with an upgraded price, so mentally I was expecting a little more protein selection for breakfast but the bagel - yogurt bar was fresh and clean.

Great team on site!
The front desk team was actually amazing. I gave a slight ding because my shower wasn't working quite right, or the hotel has water suppressors on the shower. But otherwise it was a perfectly pleasant stay.

Staff were friendly.
Hotel is old and they tried to update it still felt old.
Not getting towels everyday is not good.
Location was close to interstate.

Simple and nice!
Spark by Hilton, I learned, are other brand hotels re-done by Hilton. So while you don't have some "standard" Hilton designs, it is newly done; carpet, paint, etc. Very comfy beds and rooms. Breakfast is limited but overall fine!
