The hotel was so nice and clean. My only complaint would be that we were on the first floor and anytime the people above us moved we would hear them. The staff was kind and the space was comfortable.

I had mixed feelings about the Spark. This hotel’s location was perfect for Hershey Park. It was definitely economy though. The hallway carpets were stained and there was always trash left outside of people’s rooms. Our room was very clean, but tight for 2 adults and a 3 year old. The room did have a microwave and mini fridge though. No housekeeping during our stay was done. Our first night was quiet. The second night, kids were running in the halls and being loud. There was a lot of jumping on the floor above us. This was after 10pm. The pool was in the basement and very chilly. My husband was finished when he swam through a clump of hair! The breakfast was a nice addition. Very basic continental style, but hot and fresh to start the day. The staff here were warm and welcoming. Would I recommend this hotel for a very fast, basic stay? Probably, but I may not book again based on space.

This was my first experience with Spark. It is a middle of the road hotel. Small pool, small rooms, and not quite conducive to four people getting ready in the morning. The bathroom mirror, toilet, and shower were in the same space with a glass shower which made it hard to use with more than one person in the bathroom. It’s not that I wouldn’t stay again. It’s just that there are other hotels I’d choose above this one.

The charged me for for daughters room, even after I told them I had my own room. Then I was told my room was at a different hotel down the road. The manager finally found it. Asked about late check out, was told no hotels to full. Then, every night, the room above us had their TV way to loud and were dropping or dragging stuff till about 2am. Then we couldn't even relax at the pool because some parents cant control their children, to the point I had to say something(I understand it's a pool, we had no problem when they were at the other end of the pool.) But then they got closer and set up their phone and were recording us while they slashed us. Ruined our families whole vacation

Room was serviceable for a nights sleep. Floors in rooms were dirty to the point that if your shower floor was wet and you stepped in you left a foot print. Also to be fair this was the cheapest hotel in the area. Two star according to Expedia are accurate.

We loved the proximity to the park, and the staff were very friendly. The property was clean, room was clean and my kids enjoyed the indoor pool. The only thing to improve on was that the cable tv wasn’t working since it was direct tv and there was a storm, which was annoying. Nevertheless, when we called about it, the staff person that came to the room was apologetic about it. The ice cream parlor across the street, King Kone, was also delicious!

Everything was very good with one exception. We had a small room with a queen bed for us and a bunk bed for our grandson. The beds, shower, toilet and sink were all in the same shared space. The room really needed a curtain or something that could be drawn when someone was showering or changing. Otherwise we were very happy with the accommodations. Location was perfect.

I’m gonna start w/ the rooms. Rooms could’ve bigger, they did have a microwave in the room which was very useful. They posted in the room, staffs would make beds, empty trash & refill w/ clean towels. But, they only emptied the trash & refilled the room w/ clean towels they didn’t make the beds, which was very disappointing. Breakfasts could be better, could’ve had more various of breakfast foods. Staff was ok, they booked me & family in the first floor. I asked them to switch they said all the other rooms were booked. Sorry.

The hotel was very nice inside. Rooms were spacious. The only problem is that with being animal friendly the room smelled very strong like dog pee. I called to see if I could change rooms and they were friendly but unfortunately they were full so we were stuck in a stinky room. The price and location were great. If my room didn’t smell I would have given it 5 stars.

Went with my family with young children. My room had a smell of a dog. Cleanliness, eh, could have been better. The pictures on the website are deceiving. The closeness to Hersheypark was nice, but other than that I seriously considered going to a different hotel. Thankful I only stayed 1 night. The room was small. For the price, I wanted more. If I was a teenager/college kid I might have been okay with it.

Excellent mid-week stay Mon night through Fri morn. Stayed in king bed suite. Secondary suite room is very sparse lacking many fixtures, furniture, or wall art. No big deal, just odd. Actual bedroom very nice, though shades let in light from parking lot. Bed on the softer side, but not painfully so (we prefer a firm mattress, which is just personal preference). Sheets and blanket extremely cozy and comfortable! Room service cleaned the room once during a four night stay, which is just fine. Did not eat breakfast as selection very limited, as expected at this type of property. Staff at front desk very helpful and friendly. Room was clean. Shower was pipping hot, water pressure not the best but fine. A/C unit could get quite cold (great) but was very noisy. While it did not impact our stay, I noticed that the elevator chime was extremely loud and very noticeable from the secondary suite room, but not the bedroom. Could be an issue for regular single-rooms near the elevator. Some rooms on the first floor were immediately adjacent to the lobby, which could be an issue. No noise issues from other guests. A few other reviewers complained that quiet hours were actually enforced, and for that we were very happy! I've seen SPARK described as putting lip stick on a pig, and that is an apt description, but the lip stick is quite good and better than expected. I'd probably avoid this hotel on busy and more expensive concert weekends. Midweek at reasonable rates, you get what you pay for.

The bathroom is a little small with not much counter space, but otherwise everything was great.

Comfy beds. The swivel table attached to the desk was great for playing games provided by the hotel upon request. The bathroom didn’t provide a space for your cosmetics and such to be placed while getting ready. Walls are paper thin so we could hear kids running and talking on the floor above us. Staying on the first floor is quite noisy hearing the elevator and people coming from the lobby. There is a quiet time period for the evening but most didn’t follow that. Overall, a decent stay for one night only 5 minutes Hershey Park!
