We enjoyed the room layout. However, the beds were low to the floor, and the mattresses were too soft. The bathroom could use a soft night light, and a make-up mirror. The stairs to enter the building are inconvenient when transporting luggage. Otherwise, all was good. Clean and refreshing. Loved the shampoo and soap!

I cannot rate the Sparrow more highly. It was clean and spacious. The bed was so comfy and the location is excellent. The best part is the TV setup, as silly as it sounds but I travel often for work and having the ability to stream from my phone is rare. I was thrilled to be able to stream Love Island. Also the robes were so great that I bought for back home! I’d stay here again and again!

The staff at check-in was phenomenal! Very helpful and clearly explained how the parking and pet fees worked. Room was very comfortable and clean. Bed was excellent; and the amenities were perfect. They were even dog blankets & pup-menities. I appreciate the effort they make for those that travel with dogs. Parking is limited, but easy to use. Cafe downstairs has excellent coffee, liquor selections and good pastries.
