There are only 2 main streets in Sparta and this hotel is on one of them. It's about a mile from the main bus station (18 minute walk?). It's an older hotel and the photos they posted with the nice lighting at Christmas are not correct. They don't have the lights on during the day, so it doesn't look that nice when you're there in the daytime. It reminds me of a 70s office building converted into a hotel. The rooms need updating. The wifi sucks! They need more powerful boosters. The breakfast, if they decide to serve a buffet (I don't know what the determining factors are), looked decent. I got a room with 2 single cots in it, and the beds were firm and supportive, which I like. The customer service at the front desk was polite and respectful. There's a front patio with chairs facing the street. I think most rooms have a balcony, but not all have chairs. There's a mini fridge and a safe in the room. The overall location is ok, but a slight .3 of a mile walk to most restaurants, grocery stores, and bars. No pool, parking possibly on the main street.
