Spark by Hilton Ames

8/10 Good

"My room was relatively clean, but counters hadn’t been wiped between previous person and me. The rest of the room was fine…very soft pillows, comfortable bed, nice towels. Internet was sketchy, tv kept freezing. Staff was very friendly. They do sell some snacks and medications, grossly overpriced. But, convenience usually is."
