We stayed at Spark in Erie, PA, for two nights. The staff was professional and helpful, especially Wendy. The hotel was basic as was the provided breakfast. There was enough breakfast to satisfy our needs and those of others. I would describe it as continental with some extras. The room was immaculate though somewhat spartan. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom (accessible) was huge with an amazing shower. I missed having a chair in the room as I needed to use my computer for work. I ended up working in the breakfast area. Hilton's concept of providing a basic, clean, comfortable, and friendly hotel at a great price is genius. I would definitely stay at a Spark again.

This hotel is conveniently located near shopping, restaurants, and Splash Lagoon. It’s only about 20 minutes from Presque Isle beaches. Our one big complaint is there’s no ramp or handicap access at the one end. We had to lift our luggage and other belongings over the curb. We were able to, but we saw an elderly couple having problems and went and helped them. That should be done immediately in my book!

The hotel was beautiful and the rooms were very nice and updated. I was traveling with two kids and they absolutely loved the pool and breakfast.
My only negative was that in the middle of the night someone walked into our room because they were assigned it even tho we were there. They did offer complimentary snacks for the kids but after that I really didn’t sleep much that night I was a mom traveling alone with my daughter and her friend.i didn’t deadbolt the door because we had friends next door.

The staff charged me for the room instead of just the deposit and then gave me attitude when I informed them the room was paid through Expedia in full area. There excuse was that “third party bookings” give them a hard time. That is no excuse to double charge me and just try to hand me room keys like all is well. All is not well. You just charged me full price for the room and not the deposit. The “oh well” attitude from the staff was unbelievable. The lady also called me by an ungodly word under her breath and got upset bc I pointed out that I heard her and told her may God bless her anyway. Why are you upset that you are being called out on trying to overcharge me and disrespect me. I had to stay bc the room was non refundable through Expedia or I would have left. The next morning I went down for coffee, went back up and my room key didn’t work. I was giving the third degree to just get a working room key. They had to change our room because the tv not the AC was working. Would you know the next morning I go down for coffee and a bagel and when I went back up my room key didn’t work again and I had to get a new one again. I usually enjoy staying at Hilton hotels but this will be a never book again hotel for me. Now that we have checked out I’m relieved. So much for Springbreak being hassle free.

Overall- 3 stars.

The staff was very friendly, we didn’t have to interact with them, besides checking in and asking for more towels, because we are a family of seven (2 adults, 3 toddlers and 2 newborns) and they were great with that. So the staff I felt like was great.

The reason I rated a three out of five stars was because they did not offer any kind of packing play or crib, then when we got into our room, the beds were made, and it seemed clean, but our toddlers had managed to find old Band-Aids, crackers, and some other old items, including a pair of men’s underwear under the bed so I feel like the housekeeping could have been a lot better. Our room is also on the second floor, on the backside of the elevator, so it was quite loud and the kids had an issue sleeping with the noise. I didn’t want to complain, I’m sure they would have switched rooms for us, but with five kids including 2 newborns, you would’ve been a chore so we tried to tolerate it, which was a mistake. I didn’t take that into my consideration while reading the hotel. The last issue I had was the food, while most hotels don’t offer breakfast anymore, so I am glad that this place did, it really could have been a bit better. The milk kept running out, so sometimes the kids had to eat dry cereal, and my wife said that the bagel seem to be a little stale. I did like the fact that you could get coffee and hot water for hot chocolate anytime.

Check in was very easy and staff was friendly. We've stayed in this hotel many times before when it was Best Western. We were NOT happy with the \"new\" BW when they moved across the road (cruddy room, under re-construction, was a mess). We chanced coming back to this building and were happy to see it still looking good! The morning staffers at the desk were not so friendly, almost annoyed. I mentioned to one that the milk was empty in the decanter after getting some cereal. She acknowledged me but did nothing until another guest brought it to her attention and needed the milk then and there! Then, when a second staffer started to refill canter, a third staffer called over to tell her not to use too much! Really??? It was 7am, b-fast runs til 10 and you're worried about wasting a half gallon of milk?
We checked out shortly thereafter and there was still a cold feel at the desk.

Won’t go back :-(

It’s a clean, modern-looking space, but I think the renovations they did were very superficial. We were assigned a room without a working thermostat (all the power along that entire wall seemed to be out), told they didn’t have any other rooms available and that there was no maintenance person available at 9 PM, then eventually moved to another room without a working TV when “cancellation” occurred.

Lamp and outlet in room did not work and notified front desk but explained that would not impact our stay. Pool was awful!! Freezing cold, smelled weird, and there was garbage in the bottom. Overall nice hotel but don't stay for the pool or you'll be disappointed.

Absolutely the loudest hotel with the rudest guests ever. And the elevator dinged all night. Pretty sure the hotel was built with plywood because I heard everything upstairs and the hallway was full of loud people and ridiculousness. Kids running through the halls, stomping at all hours of the night from upstairs too. Ridiculous that I heard all that. The room was ok, but I'll never stay there again, not at that price!!!
