We hosted our work holiday party at the Spark and were very pleased! The staff was all super helpful, Taylor the GM made the process a breeze from start to finish with planning and setting up. The hotel rooms were clean, lobby was clean and tidy, and the ballroom was perfect for what we needed!

I stayed at Spark for work during a winter storm and was very happy with the value. The place was spotless, very pleasant, quiet and the staff were so friendly. The rooms are well furnished down to the bath items and the bed was comfortable.
