What guests think

At Spark by Hilton Tampa Brandon, guests frequently praise the friendly staff, while also noting ongoing renovations, basic facilities, and a continental breakfast that many find limited compared with expectations.

Room quality is mixed: many find them spacious and comfortable enough, but others describe dated decor, noisy or weak air-conditioning, and maintenance issues such as low water pressure or worn fixtures. Cleanliness feedback varies widely, with numerous positive comments alongside recurring reports of musty odors, occasional pest sightings, and housekeeping lapses. The location near major roads, shopping, and sports venues is convenient, though a few guests felt the parking and surroundings less comfortable at night.

Excellent staff! They have a gym and laundry, too. The hotel’s technology is incredible, and I love that there’s no carpeting in the rooms. I’d love to stay here again!

We stayed on first floor by the exit door. Sign on the door says will remain locked, please use front door for your safety. However, the door remain unlocked the entire time even during the night. We also had a dog with us as it says it is pet friendly however, there are no really good areas for the dog too, go to the bathroom. Maybe it was because of construction, but there was just debris everywhere in the back. Then there is the pool that was locked. We were supposed to say tonight, but only stayed one night.

If my booking of 5 nights was not a nonrefundable booking then I would have left and gone somewhere else. Honestly a Motel 6 would probably have been better. It is under remodeling which was not listed anywhere. However that was the least of the issues. The first two nights/3 days was like being next to a live filming of the Jerry Springer show. I asked twice to be moved and was told they couldn’t. My room was close to the front so they could obviously hear the hours long of yelling and screaming morning and night. Yet nothing was done. My room was only moved was all the remodeling dust started coming under the door into my room. All I wanted was a clean and quiet place to sleep and use the amenities they said they had. No towels in the fitness room. No soap for the washing machine (the dispenser took my money though). I tried to buy it at the front desk and they did not have any. All reclining pool chairs were broken. The staff was all pleasant, apologetic, and kind but unfortunately that did not change the experience of staying there. They said they are turning into a Hilton (the price point is already there) and they have a lot to work on before that is a successful transition. Other positive note was a hot breakfast on weekends. Unfortunately during the week it’s a typical continental breakfast.

Parking lot was full of potholes and no back entrance to hotel if you had to park in back. Dimly lit parking. Very little parking infron where access was located.

First of all they required an extra 100.00 deposit on top of the overpriced, outdated property, the bathroom was outdated, no jacks to plug in phones, the toilet ran, all night, then stopped filling so we couldn’t flush it, my daughter’s room smelled like urine, covers on bed were mildewed, we both saw roaches crawling. On top of that when we complained the front desk clerk, acted so unbothered.

This place doesn’t deserve not even a star, when my sister uncover the bedsheet there was a ROACH ON THE BED!!! The bathroom tub looked filthy and there was also a hair, and the inside of the toilet is all peeled. The room also smelled like mold, this was my first time ever experiencing this at a hotel and the saddest part is that we had to stay the night because it was late and we didn’t have a place to stay.

The bed was the most uncomfortable mattress I’ve ever slept on and the comforter had someone else’s hair on it. Paper thin walls and windows. The place was fairly clean otherwise. The front desk person was very nice. Spend the extra few bucks and go somewhere else if you want to sleep at all.

Chose this out of necessity and price. They are updating down stairs but they need to do the rooms. Rooms are large but very very basic. Colours are old, bathroom is out of the 80’s, the bathroom door doesn’t close, just sticks. TV’s are super old and the decor leaves a lot to desire. Bed linen is worn and old, not expecting a good nights sleep.

I made my reservation and paid a month in advance. I called October 28th around 11:30 am to inform the front desk that we would be a late arrival, get there around 3 or 4 am and our room preference. We got there about 3am on November 26 as I said we would previously. The first thing the clerk said after I gave my info is that I should have called ahead which I promptly replied that I did so a month ago. So either the person I spoke to previously did not note down what I said or she did not bother to look at the notes on my reservation. The interaction with the overnight clerk was unpleasant but thankfully short as someone might have already made my key card ahead of time because I noticed my name was written on the inside. The room was exactly what I booked, it was clean and breakfast was good.

Everything was almost perfect. The price, the location, the staff. The rooms were well maintained. The TV had multiple different streaming services. The beds were comfortable to sleep in. The only thing missing was a decent breakfast, a poor variety of options, you had three choices, oatmeal, cereal, or a bagel. I would've loved some eggs and sausage, or even just one waffle maker! But for the price of the room its hard to complain. We had a wonderful time spent at this location.
