Coastal Connecticut Pet-friendly Vacations

Close to Yale campus

Although I only travelled from the upper West Side of NYC, our stay at the Hotel transformed us into a completely different environment. The service was exquisite. The property on the harbor was beautiful. I look forward to a reason to revisit.Gary Shapiro

the rooms in the hotel are larger than average and very comfortable, The coffee machine in my room did not work but everything else was near perfect.

Unique property (was a Howard Johnson's) but despite overdone "artsy" modern overhaul, still musty and strange room configuration (bathroom is a glass-walled box in the room). Very dark and odd room lighting. Food was pricey for its quality and lacked sophistication. Some food was frankly unappealing. Bar was dead on a Saturday night in summer. Most patrons seemed to be visiting for nearby/on site family events. Free continental breakfast was bare minimum, unsuitable for those with carb restrictions. Spa was good overall. Interesting weekend experience but would not return.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the Spark hotel was. The front desk staff were friendly, the room was clean and cheerful. The pool looked like fun (I didn’t go in, but my room overlooked the pool). It seemed like Hilton bought up an old motel and spruced it up. Nice job, Hilton!

Would have been better but they were having issues with the room keys. Someone had to let you into the room each time you left.

Everything was fine.
