Fantastic location and clean facilities.
Pros:

The property was in a great location. We were able to walk to the old quarter and fort. For the winery and distillery we got a pass for the old town trolley which had a stop within a couple blocks. The hotel was also very clean. The breakfast was a solid continental breakfast.

Cons:

The beds were quite firm and the bedding rather thin with no additional blanket available. There were no hot items for breakfast like meat or hot eggs.

For the price per night I was expecting the amenities to be in a lot better shape.
Pros:

Convenient and easy.

Cons:

Beds and pillows are old. Even with the modern vibe in lobby. Hotel was old and needs new beds and pillows. Swimming pool and hot tub needs a complete refinish; it’s all chipped and worn out on bottom, just looks nasty.

Great location; not great otherwise
Pros:

We really liked the location, close to the historic downtown area, attractions, restaurants, and more. However, this was our first experience with the Hilton Spark brand. The renovation of the property (formerly Comfort Suites, I believe) was minimal, but it was ok if your expectations aren't too high. Our room and bathroom were clean enough, but a little sparsely furnished. The breakfast was pretty much as described, not hot, not deluxe at all, but adequate for a few days. It's a little hard to see how the Spark budget brand is enhanced by the lack of in-room coffee makers, or the cool whip tub ice "buckets" which are only available at the ice machines. (But at least they do have ice machines!!!) For this specific property, some of the front desk attendants were rude, if not belligerent. As others have mentioned, there is NO early check-in and even asking only aggravates the staff. The staff seemed to struggle with computer issues and credit card charges. Also, paying for parking ($25) at this type of property seems to be taking advantage of customers. But, parking in this area of St. Augustine is at a premium so parking your vehicle and walking is the best way to get around.

Rude Manager
Pros:

By far the worst Spark I've ever stayed in. The manager was rude, and the breakfast was stale and inedible. I'm a Diamond member and stay in Hilton Hotels on average 30 days a year. By far the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. Find another hotel that is.

Pros:

Location is really good, walking distance to everywhere.

Cons:

Even if the room was perfectly clean it smells like dog, I didn’t know when I book that this was a pet friendly hotel, but even if was pet friendly I never would think that could smell that bad.

Hilton- please do better
Pros:

Super disappointed with our stay. The front desk clerk seemed bothered to help us. Our TV and toilet did not work. We notified the desk in the morning and wanted three hours for a working toilet and nothing. My wife accidently used the key for another room and it worked- this is an extreme safety concern. One redemption is the location- it was perfect and in walking distance to most everything.

Pros:

The location is excellent

Cons:

Those old carpets in rooms and corridor, the smell, the pool is just a big bathtub. The breakfast is a typical American breakfast with lots of sugars and white bread, no rye, veggies or yellow cheese.
