Categories

Cleanliness
7
Generally reported as clean and rooms looked/new after renovation; a few guests noted sewage smell from a plumbing issue and ongoing construction that affected perceived finish.
Service
7.8
Multiple comments praise staff as excellent, helpful and accommodating (correcting booking mistakes, friendly check-in). One guest preferred pre-renovation staff, but overall service is frequently noted positively.
Location
8.6
Consistently praised: prime spot in front of the streetcar, walkable to the Plaza and nearby destinations; cited repeatedly as a primary reason to stay.
Room Quality
7.2
Rooms described as renovated, spacious and comfortable with comfy beds; some rooms lack expected finishing touches (irons/hangers) or had door/smoothness issues per a few reviews.
Amenities
4.5
Several guests reported missing or limited amenities during renovations (no coffee maker, hairdryer, phone, limited/closed fitness, broken ice machine, construction affecting parking).
Value for Money
5.5
Mixed perceptions: some call it great value and recommend the rate, while others feel the price is too high given renovation shortcomings and extra charges for breakfast/parking.
Food and Beverage
4
Multiple complaints about breakfast quality/selection (described as minimal — bread and water) and weak coffee options (no strong/americano), though not all guests mentioned F&B.
Overall Experience
6.6
Overall mixed-to-positive: many guests recommend the hotel for location and staff, praising renovated rooms; a minority report a terrible experience due to construction, smells, or missing promised amenities.

Pros:

I liked it better before the redo and I liked the staff better, plus they gave a discount cause I go up there for my doctor's. You guys paint the place and put up some pictures and double the price. Im very disappointed.

Muy agradable.
Pros:

La persona que me recibió (aunque no era el tiempo de "check-in") fue muy atenta y pudo acomodarme en una habitación enseguida.
Tenía actividades en la Universidad, así que la ubicación resultó ser excelente: el hotel está frente a la estación del "streetcar".

Cons:

El café. No había opción al "americano". Como latina, me gusta el café "strong", pero no lo había.

I would recommend Sparks to anyone without hesitancy.
Pros:

The location was perfect as I had to be at the Heart Institute early and we live 2 hours away. Being older, we didn't want to hit rush hour traffic in Kansas City. The staff bent over backwards to help correct a booking mistake by Booking.com.

Cons:

Everything was great!

Very nice stay!
Pros:

Stayed here for the World Cup 2026. Perfect location in front of the streetcar and very close to Plaza. This is a basic renovated hotel and the room looks like new with comfy beds and all the amenities you need.
