What guests think

At Spark by Hilton Erie, travelers generally find modern, clean rooms and comfortable beds at a good value, but feedback points to thin walls, a very limited cold breakfast, and occasional maintenance or housekeeping lapses that affect stays.

Service is mixed: many praise friendly front-desk staff, while others report aloof interactions or slow follow-up on issues. The indoor pool and in-room amenities are minimal or inconsistent, with reports of closures, cleanliness concerns, and no in-room coffee or microwave in many stays. The location is convenient to the highway, restaurants, and shopping. Overall, expect a practical, budget-minded stopover with trade-offs.

It was simplistic and provided everything. Comfortable beds. Good tv selection. Great pool hours til 10. And open breakfast hours are great but so limiting with only bagels and a few muffins and OJ. Needs hooks in the bathroom. Would have liked my own microwave in my room. Plus they didn’t service my room once during our three night stay. Once would have been nice.

This is a comfortable, no-frills hotel for pet owners. There are grassy areas in back to walk dogs where bags are provided. A coffee station in the lobby offers coffee and hot water all day but no coffee facilities in the room. Breakfast is offered but it is cold breakfast only.

My kids really enjoyed the indoor pool and it was always very clean. Disliked the breakfast- not very kid friendly with bagels and yogurt and Disliked that to floor was always wet from swimmer's heading back to thier room. Thought i was going to slip every times. The staff was always working hard and very friendly and warm. My room was very clean and same with the other areas in the hotel. Would come back but just maybe pack my own breakfast!

I am so disappointed in this hotel. 2 tvs close to each oyher, and both go.on at the same time is strange. Tvs kept goi g off and on. Breakfast is supposed to start at 6 am, but yesterday nobody was there. No coffee maker or microwave in the room. You pay over 240 dollars, and get cold hot coffe from the lobby, and cold hot chocolate fom lobby wouldn't recommend this hotel to anybody. Red Roof inn is better, and it is a heck a lot cheaper. I won't be back.

Hotel was overall very clean. Rooms has the just been cleaned smell walking into them. Not enough staffing and hated the check out process of just dropping your key card in a basket and not actually getting to speak with someone and get a receipt. Lamp and outlet in room did not work and notified front desk but explained that would not impact our stay. Pool was awful!! Freezing cold, smelled weird, and there was garbage in the bottom. Overall nice hotel but don't stay for the pool or you'll be disappointed.

The room we were assigned had a bed that used and then simply covered up. Even the towels in the bathroom looked like they have been already used by someone else. Upon talking to the front desk person m, we were simply offered new sheets and when we -in disbelief- asked whether we were expected to make our own bed, the person confirmed our suspicions, adding that they had no housekeeping service. I have never been so shock on my life and I will fight to get a full refund.

It’s a clean, modern-looking space, but I think the renovations they did were very superficial. We were assigned a room without a working thermostat (all the power along that entire wall seemed to be out), told they didn’t have any other rooms available and that there was no maintenance person available at 9 PM, then eventually moved to another room without a working TV when “cancellation” occurred.

The room was very clean but TINY! The king bed did not have a lot of room around it. Also the “breakfast” consisted of bagels or bagels. You read that right. That’s all there was. So don’t go here if you’re expecting space and a good breakfast!

Check in was very easy and staff was friendly. We've stayed in this hotel many times before when it was Best Western. We were NOT happy with the "new" BW when they moved across the road (cruddy room, under re-construction, was a mess). We chanced coming back to this building and were happy to see it still looking good! The morning staffers at the desk were not so friendly, almost annoyed. I mentioned to one that the milk was empty in the decanter after getting some cereal. She acknowledged me but did nothing until another guest brought it to her attention and needed the milk then and there! Then, when a second staffer started to refill canter, a third staffer called over to tell her not to use too much! Really??? It was 7am, b-fast runs til 10 and you're worried about wasting a half gallon of milk? We checked out shortly thereafter and there was still a cold feel at the desk.

The front desk lady was babysitting her daughter both evenings she worked. The towels were out both days when we went to swim at the pool. The thermostat in one of our rooms did not work, the lady at the front desk stated she couldn't do anything because maintenance was unavailable. We fixed the thermostat ourselves, the room was very warm Breakfast in the morning is not that great, things were out both mornings we went. I expected more from the "Hilton" but i will not book a room with Spark Hilton again.

The property looks like it was recently updated but the construction and finish were very unprofessional. There were signs that the toilet was reused because all of the screws were rusted. The drywall finish was all hacked up and the paint job was less than professional. The most disappointing feature was the LACK of breakfast. One of the previous reviews said that breakfast was bagels and muffins. I thought they were kidding. They were not! There were bagels and cream cheese, commercially packaged (small) muffins and that was it! seriously, don’t stay here is you expect some kind of breakfast that you can’t get from an old worn out rural gas station.

Also the same person was doing the front desk and taking care of the breakfast room. Would recommend it. Just go for breakfast some place else. Plenty of places close by.
