Spark by Hilton Yucca Valley Joshua Tree

Good comfortable hotel, adequate buffet...

Liked: Spacious room, adequate parking, good location.
Disliked: Nothing

Not a Good Value and...

Liked: The room has clean, modern furnishings. The TV was fine size.
Disliked: The room TV remote did not have numbers used to find a specific channel. One had to scroll through the long list of offerings. The room did not have in room coffee. In room coffee is basic for even the cheapest motel. The pool was small and inconvenient for lounging. Finally, we had to change rooms, because the A/C did not respond to adjustment, therefore was too cold.

Very good

Liked: The staff always had a nice greeting when I saw them.Mattress, sheets, pillows were all very nice. Breakfast options provided were always fresh and area was clean.Coffee and tea bar was always well stocked, clean and fresh.Location was easy to find and easy to enter and exit of main hwy.Front entrance was clearly marked and had easy access to parking.Parking was easy with plenty of spots.Pool was clean and accessible.
Disliked: Lots of staff members smoking. There was a smoking section in the parking lot.But it was out front across from main entrance to hotel, and right where everyone drives past the hotel lobby.My room had the misfortune of being in front of building on the 1st floor. So I saw lots of employees smoking. LOTS.And walking past that to use the pool? Not ideal.Would be best to move that area around to the back of the main building perhaps?The pool towels were small, but that was ok. What was discouraging was the need to keep walking to lobby to ask for some.I was in my room for 4 days and it wasn't serviced. I had to walk to lobby to ask for clean towels and t-paper. The breakfast options, I understand it suits the grab and go culture of the area. However, for the price of stay was expecting perhaps eggs with a protein option.

Superb
