Fountain Hills Vacation Properties

We were there for a writing retreat, so we basically never left the room except to eat dinner. Didn't even go to the beautiful little pool, which was not busy, and which was right outside our window. I should have taken the time to go out there, but this trip was heads-down, no distractions writing time and I finished my book so it was worth it. The front desk guys are amazing. We had one problem and they were on it right away. They only had bagels for breakfast, so we ate the snacks and hard boiled eggs we brought from home and stayed in the room and worked. It was quiet and everything was clean and smelled good, so Spark was the perfect place to stay! Thanks guys, for a wonderful respite!

It was what we expected. Staff was great, pool was clean. Quiet stay no problems but I would recommend they not rent room 213 in the summer as the sun room patio is not usable as the A/C exhaust empties into the patio room making it like an oven. On the bright side our swimsuits dried quickly out there.

My wife’s car broke down in the 118 degree heat. This was the closest hotel. When she finally got booked and unloaded with 3 kids. She tried to use the pool which was closed by 8 pm! She told the receptionist they were hot and tired and the kids needed to cool off after being in the extreme heat. It was 10 minutes til 8 at this point and she refused them. The room was hot because the ac was off. They had to wait hours for the dinky ac unit to cool the room. She asked for a late checkout while they waited for me to get off work and pick them up and bring them home. ( which is 3 hours away) so they didn’t have to wait in the extreme heat again. The best they could do was 30 minutes later. 11:30 am. I wont be there until 1:00. So they now have to find somewhere to go with no car for an hour and a half. They were in an emergency situation and the staff could care less and didn’t offer to lift a finger to help in any way. Avoid this place at all costs!
