Spark by Hilton Phoenix East Mesa

Great hotel in the area, especially compared to the competition. Good morning breakfast. Very comfortable bed and pillows.

It was decent. Not bad. But not great. Breakfast could have been better.

First, the good things - this is right across the street from Revel Surf, which is why I stayed here in the first place, so location was excellent if you're headed to Revel. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and they were delightful to interact with. Now the not-so-good stuff, and this has more to do with the owner/s of the hotel. When I first entered my room, it smelled like dirty socks or maybe some Doritos. Not a good smell, and it usually means that the carpet is long overdue for steam cleaning. There were no water bottles, in the event I got thirsty, and this is Arizona so everyone is thirsty. I can't remember a time when I stayed at a hotel where they don't provide at least 2 water bottles. There weren't even cups so I could drink water from the sink. I had to go downstairs to get a plastic cup. Now the noise....the air conditioner was so loud that I had to leave the fan on the entire time or it would wake me up when the AC kicked in. And the walls were so thin.....I could hear everywhere the people upstairs were walking, and for some reason they decided they needed exercise at 2 in the morning. It sounded like a herd of baby elephants up there. So one can assume the property was built very inexpensively and that the owners are cheapskates. If you have poor hearing, no sense of smell, and don't drink water, this could be a good place for you. However, I will likely stay there again just because it's so close to Revel Surf.

It was very clean and a convenient location.

The room floors were absolutely filthy; my children were wearing white socks, and they turned black from the dirt. The pillows were completely flattened from age. Good service, but terrible cleanliness.
