My experience at the Sparrow was poor. My door lock had issues and I was locked in my room both mornings unable to get out. Extremely unsafe.The showers were lukewarm at best. The wifi and streaming was also poor. The staff asked about my stay but did nothing to fix or make better these issues. The location is great. Hopefully they can remedy these issues.

Kind of bare bones. No fridge or microwave in room. Excellent TV. Hotel seemed to be going for a college dorm vibe. Overpowering pine scent piped into hallways. IMMACULATELY clean. (Not possible to get any cleaner), I found it comfortable and quiet. Many, many dining options nearby. I would stay here again.

So, the staff was lovely and the room was really comfortable (including the mattress) I had an issue with the temp in my room, but staff took care of it right away. The main issue,is the nightly noise from the alley, which ran under my room. Both nights there were large trucks making tremendous noise anywhere between 4-5:30 am. Somehow, this needs to change before I stay again.
