"we have recently visited a national conference of around 1500 people in this hotel. I was a little skeptical as I had read the reviews. I was very happy with our room accomodations. large room, immaculate, refrigerator (that was cold) , keurig coffee machine. Maybe some of the rooms were not renovated, but ours were. only the problem was not a home economy. I was told that we had to state during the registration that we wanted the daily budget. When I found out, I informed her. but nothing happened. Luckily, in the 3rd floor, the housekeeper has provided us with clean towels and coffee and water replenishments every day when I asked. it is a perfect place for a big conference, this conference even has buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner and snacks in between. nothing beautiful, but good and far better than leaving the anwesen or standing in the line in the restaurants. we had no time to use the pool that is in the 5th floor. had a little game and had luck! Some of the meeting rooms were quite cold, so they bring a jacket they go to a conference. or go to st. vincent de paul thrift, which is 4 minutes away. this was our first trip to sparks in 25 years. we will be back and use this hotel."
