Categories

Cleanliness
6.75
Mixed signals: many guests describe rooms as clean, but multiple reports of unclean bathrooms, insects, musty rooms, and missed housekeeping indicate inconsistent cleanliness and quality control issues.
Service
8.3
Generally strong: numerous comments praise staff as fantastic, polite and helpful; one guest reported a sarcastic/unfriendly front desk clerk at check-in, but overall service is a clear strength.
Location
8.3
Frequently praised for convenience: very close to highway/interstate, good parking and a great location for stopovers and travelers.
Room Quality
6.95
Mostly adequate and comfortable for families, with some positive size/comfort comments; however isolated issues (musty smell, insects, no exhaust fan, occasional cleanliness lapses) lower the score.
Amenities
6.5
Basic offerings: pet-friendly and a functional breakfast area, but limited complimentary items per room, occasional missing hair dryer, and no hot breakfast at this property reduce perceived amenities.
Value for Money
7.8
Seen as good value: multiple guests call the property affordable and reasonably priced, making it attractive despite some service/amenity limitations.
Food and Beverage
6.1
Weakness: breakfast is continental (bagels, cereal, muffins, boiled egg, fruit) and several guests wanted hot items; bagel-only criticism and lack of hot options brought down this category.
Overall Experience
6.9
Generally positive stay for the price with many repeat guests and recommendations; however, inconsistent cleanliness, limited breakfast, and occasional staff/service issues temper the overall impression.

Pros:

The front desk clerk/manager who was on shift during my check-in was extremely sarcastic and unfriendly. She asked a question with a question each time whether about the property or the surrounding area. Otherwise the hotel was excellent for the price and the room was comfortable.

Almost there
Pros:

Spark Hotel was recently acquired by Hilton Hotel. Ms. Makeria was great! However, I had higher expectations of the hotel.
First, I expected a hot breakfast. The Spark only offers a continental breakfast. The breakfast consists of cold cereals, 3 types of bagels, 2 types of muffins, boiled egg, fruit, juice, coffee, and tea. Whereas, two Hilton properties that are located next door; The Hampton Inn and Tru offer hot breakfast; scrambled eggs, sausage, waffles, grits, toast, bagels, hash browns, juice, coffee, and tea. Maybe the Spark could work with the neighboring Hilton properties to allow Spark guests to eat hot breakfast at the other Hilton properties if the guests want it.
Second, the Spark offers each room one bottle of water and one bag of chips, regardless of how many guests are in the room. Most hotels offer each guest not per room a complimentary guest bag. I believe the hotel needs to reconsider and give each guest a complimentary guest bag and not per room.
Third, rooms are cleaned every other day. I stayed 5 days and 4 nights. My room was supposed to be cleaned twice. Unfortunately, it was cleaned only once. There needs to be better quality control on room cleanings.
Finally, the bathroom did not have a working exhaust fan. Following a shower, my bathroom mirror was full with steam. I had to keep the bath door open to remove the steam or to circulate air in the bathroom.

The parking was great and my car was parked right outside in front of my window where I was able to start it from my room and it was ready to be driven when I got to it. Everything on and around the property was clean and neat.
