When we booked this property we did so because we saw it was a Hilton property. We never ever dreamed that a Hilton property could be as bad as the place was. For starters all the room doors were outside, for sure made security a big issue!! The room had a smell to it, couldn’t quite put my finger on it but my best guess is that it’s a very old building that was once a very poorly ran place and Hiton bought it and did their best to re hab and cover up the nastiness that the place once was. There was mold all over the grout and caulked areas in the bathtub/shower. I do have pictures to prove this! I would recommend this property for anyone!! Hilton should be ashamed that their name is on this facility!!

Sweet spot close to Siesta Key
Had a great experience at the Spark after the double hurricanes hit in the area. Everything you could possibly want or need is here. Pool, hot tub, poolside bar with happy hour, music on the weekend, firepit and great location to Siesta Key right over the bridge. We loved our stay and all that was close by to visit and eat. Our bartender Lisa was so nice and fun to relax with for the evening by the poolside bar. Clean rooms, great beds and service and couldn’t be any happier with our stay.
Nice fire and poolside bar

This hotel is more like a motel where you access your rooms from the outside. It felt extremely unsafe to me. The hotel is near two roads which were very noisy. Anyone could have access to the your room. The door to room wasn’t very sturdy and I didn’t really feel safe there.

We stayed here for one night unfortunately due to hurricane Helene! The check in process was great and easy, parking was also very easy and the property from what we seen looked lovely! The location is key if you’re looking to visit Siesta Key, restaurants etc within walking distance. Unfortunately the hotel lost power during the hurricane so we chose to leave at that time but would be willing to give it another shot at a later time!

A relief during a disaster.
I was a late night check in. Came to Florida to deal with clean up at my villa which had been flooded and had no power or water. It was easy to check in and the staff person was helpful in finding a good late nite place to eat. The room was ready and clean and easy to access.
