Hotel For Adults Just Off Siesta Key

We needed a place to stay for two days until we could get into a condo on the beach we were staying for the month of May. We'd stayed here about 10 years ago when we met with contractors for walk through and during total remodel project of the beach condo. This stay was an even better experience. The front desk staff ( all shifts) we dealt with were professional, helpful and very friendly. My husband was recovering from a medical situation and the housekeeping staff went out of their way to accommodate our requests to help him be comfortable and get good rest while staying at Spark. The only downside was being woken by garbage trucks emptying dumpsters at close by restaurants at 5AM. Of course, that's not anything Spark has control over. And, it was convenient to have several good eatery's with-in walking distance.

Decent but- Strip malls, roads +parking lots.

Staff was good. location was clean. property photos and other items are a bit misleading. *More than a 2 mile walk to Siesta Key Beach which is pictured. Location is surrounded by very busy streets and behind and adjacent to strip malls. if you do try to walk, you have to run across the 8 lane roads! Property is Mostly surrounded by parking lots. Not exactly the "beach location we travelled in for". The"Free Shuttle" was about $15 every time we used it as "suggested donations" and does not run 24 hrs.They have tried really hard and done deecent job to add the "Hilton" feel but it does still have a motor lodge feel. On arrival we drove through the parking lot and tried to see if we could get another hotel. Unfortunately we would have had to pay one nights stay which at that point was $281/ night due to Spring break. Other options in Siesta Key that week were difficult to find. Its a decent hotel with decent staff but i do feel the pictures and reviews I read lead me to book here but wish we had not.

Wisconsin Winter Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at Spark Siesta Key. You could walk to dining and shopping. You could drive to the beach or Siesta Village-there are a lot of free public parking areas to get to the beach. I saw the hotel had beach chairs and umbrellas if you wanted to mess with that. Great pool area with a hot tub. Also a bar. Good music piped in. Pool towels could be upgraded-not much of a towel. Suggestion: sign out at front desk or get charged?? Area around ice machines could have been cleaner. They also had a washer/dryer for guests to use. Liked the extras in the room-

Great location to beach, otherwise not great

The pros to the hotel, are its location to the beach. The hotel itself is nothing special in fact our room had mold in the shower and a sink that was clogged. I also didn’t like that anyone could enter the property and essentially walk right up to my room. The staff was very friendly and supportive, so that was a positive.

My experience

Check-in was quick and easy. The lobby looked very neat and clean. My room was wonderful clean and good location. The text I received after check-in were really nice and appreciated knowing that they were there to serve me in any way!! Check-out was just as quick and easy! Would definitely recommend this to everyone.
