About this place Spark by Hilton Sarasota Siesta Key Gateway

Spark by Hilton Sarasota Siesta Key Gateway is a budget chain hotel on South Tamiami Trail (US 41), south of downtown Sarasota near the bridges to Siesta Key. Spark is Hilton's no-frills brand: basic rooms and a simple breakfast. It is a mainstream gay-friendly hotel, not a gay venue. Siesta Key's beaches are roughly 10 minutes by car, and you'll need one to get anywhere from this stretch of highway. Reviews are middling (3.9 from about 360 on Google), in line with a converted budget property.

Stayed here again, as we are doing family vacation. We absolutely love the location & the staff can’t be beat. They are friendly n helpful and always quick to ask us if we need anything. Lyn, the bartender/server was a sweetheart to my son at the pool, and made a great pina colada! Rooms are comfy & the fact they are dog friendly makes it our number 1 pick, when in town .

This place is perfect. My husband and I wanted someplace quiet, and we got exactly what we asked for. The room was clean (no black under white socks here), in fact, we weren't worried about even walking barefoot. The personnel at the desk, especially Kanyjah and Grace were really nice, and friendly. Kanyjah helped me on the phone to set everything up online right from the comfort of my home PC. She was very gracious, experienced and professional. We picked our own room ahead of time! Who knew you could even do that? You can tell we don't travel a lot. Ha! Ha! And, when checking out at the front desk, Grace was also very helpful with directions when we asked. Both were so friendly it was like a breath of fresh air. It was a treat to be able to walk to many different restaurants near the Spark so we kept a really good parking spot! All-in-all this was a wonderful overnight experience. Thank you, R & J. Enger P.S. Just wish I'd had a microwave in the room, but no biggy. Not a deal breaker.
