Spark is NOT the "Normal" Hilton, but don't be afraid.
At first glance, you'll be confused. No microwave in the room, but a communual one in the lobby. No ice buckets, but they are next to the ice machines on opposite floors. A great room with a small fridge, plenty of comfort, and just what' you need.
Breakfast is edible: It's a bagel and "schmeer" bar with juice, oatmeal, and some very good coffee. Oh, and yogurt.
Now, it would be nice if they had kettles in the rooms so we could get hot water. Beyond that, what's missing is the stuff we normally walk buy in a budget hotel, and the higher Hilton Price.
Yep, there's your hook. This is truly a high quality BUDGET hotel with the HILTON GUARENTEE.
If you want the full service, breakfast and the stuff in your room, there are plenty of Hiltons you can choose from at the higher price.
But if you like the BW, Choice, and simlar budget choices but don't find them consistent, Spark may be the brand you've been looking for.
So, while I was perplexed by the hotel initially, the staff was patient and clearly understood the value of their brand. There aren't many out there yet. In fact, this is the first one in KY. This specific hotel was absolutely fantastic and I'd recommend it. Because it's a Hilton, it's also going to be like the others.
No frills, "Give you what you need", at a budget price with consistency. Do you need anything more?
