Normally when you come into a room at a hotel it's freezing, because of the AC. Good to save energy by keeping the Air off, but the room was hot, and the AC hard to control. It took awhile to get comfortable. Laying on the stained linen on the bed was the only relief. Good thing about the free breakfast, which was the same stale bagels from the day before, and cereal. Hot tap water would have had more flavor than the Coffee offered, same for the OJ. We went to IHOP instead

Television did not work. Only one staff member working in whole hotel so she had to leave front desk to try & help us resolve it, then leave us to help people check in - ridiculous and unsafe. Another staff member she called about the problem said they had had that same tv issue in other rooms before. Room looked clean but must have had mold - both my daughter & I sneezed like crazy & got headaches while there, but were fine as soon as we left. Bathroom door creaked so loudly we woke each other up every time we used it. Would never stay there again and probably wouldn’t use a Hilton Spark again either. Better quality hotels in the area for the same price.

Booked via Hotel.com. Reviews said great- but there was a 3.5 inch cockroach climbing the wall. And where there is one, there are hundreds. So we left and did not stay the night. The gentleman at the desk was very nice, but I feel like I should be refunded the $190.80 it cost to book a hotel that I did not even stay the night at. Would not stay here.

The room originally assigned to my family was poorly cleaned and fast food trash was left behind. It had a smell of old wet dirty clothes. We were given a new room (next door to the original) and it was cleaner, it still smelled bad, but had disgusting stains on the walls. The walls are very thin and we heard neighbors and also had people running and screaming through the halls all night long.

The hallways and elevators have a strong sewer smell as if the sewage is backed up somewhere. The breakfast is the bare minimum (cereal, yogurt, bagel) coffee was cold. Walls are thin, I was on the 3rd floor and it sounded like a stampede of horses above my room. Front desk personnel isn’t readily available. Room and bathroom was clean

Breakfast was probably the worst one of all of our stays. Extremely limited choices with no meat and only boiled eggs. Although, this was a good property the terrible breakfast choices will definitely influence me not to book here again.

We were visiting a few attractions in Birmingham and stayed here for one night. I booked it based on pricing, location, and the included free breakfast.

The property is located about a mile from I-65. The cross street you drive in on has a lot of shopping plazas and some restaurants. Then you turn onto the road that actually leads to the hotel - it initially has several chain-restaurants, followed by a couple of other hotels and a Lowe's Home Improvement Center. The Spark Hotel is at the end of this road.

It was quite easy to drive to places to eat or shop from here. Walking to those places would be more of a commitment, but wouldn't be out of the question.

It was noisier than I'd anticipated overnight, especially given the location. We occasionally heard loud cars in the parking lot (before 4 a.m.) and my wife heard people in the hallway around 2 a.m. (maybe from a tour bus that showed up and dropped off guests at some point overnight?). These experiences may not be typical (it was a 1-night stay), but we usually have quieter stays when travelling.

The property had a sort of 'just enough maintenance but no more' vibe to it.

The breakfast was also pretty minimal.

If I returned to Birmingham, I'd probably shop around and try someplace else, just for comparison. This wasn't a bad experience, but there was also nothing to make me want to stay here again particularly.

Hotel overall was clean and had a nice smell. Looked like it had recently been refurbished. Bath in the room looked a little old and had some hefty marks in it. Other than this it was perfect for what we needed and included free self parking.

Staff were all so friendly.

Restaurants are nearby and walkable, but no sidewalks so need to walk off road on grass or thrugh parking lots.

The room was horrible. The rooms were old and worn down. There was a foul odor that they tried to mask with a purifier. The breakfast wasn't any better. The breakfast consisted of cold coffee, old hard-boiled eggs and bread (they serve better food in jail). They need to make repairs or close this hotel down

The room smelled like mildew for the first 24 hours until I kept the air conditioning on mostly full blast. There was a strange stain/peeling in the shower right near the drain. Paint was sloppy and peeling in multiple places. Everything seemed a little dark and dim, especially for the price. The location was nice, and the staff were really friendly, but the state of the property was not worth the price at all.

The bathroom vent did not work and the tub had dirt build up that was not cleaned properly before our arrival and staff was alerted immediately but nothing was cleaned or fixed. Also the staff will scam you by charging you a pet fee because housekeeping will claim they saw pet hair that they probably tracked in with them. We stayed 2 nights and was gone over 10 hours for a cheer competition each day , plus they have no video footage of you entering or leaving your room/property with a pet but will lie and say they do. The breakfast is horrible as they only had bagels, muffins, cereal and oatmeal you have to make, coffee is cold. Do not book here! Stay away to prevent a headache as they lack integrity!

The property is new so no issues with cleanliness, safety, parking, or noise. The only issue was the lack of breakfast. There were no hot items and mostly toast, bagels, and coffee. I would not consider that breakfast and therefore will probably not return. I am busy and a good breakfast on business trips saves time. Otherwise it was decent.

The room furniture had no place to unpack in to. Ok I suppose for an overnight, would be aggravating for a multiple night stay.

Hotel is lightly built so walking on floor above was noticeable.

The common area colors are “cold” and un inviting.
