What guests think

At Spark by Hilton Des Plaines Chicago O'Hare, travellers describe a convenient airport stay with generally comfortable rooms and friendly staff, but note dated spaces, mixed cleanliness, and facility trade-offs like tight parking and an inconsistent airport shuttle.

Some guests praise spotless rooms and comfortable beds, while others report odors, stained linens, noise from halls or adjacent rooms, and occasional maintenance quirks such as finicky AC or motion-sensor bathroom lights. Breakfast feedback is divided: several enjoyed a decent free spread, but others found it limited, repetitive, crowded, or poorly prepared; a diner next door draws frequent positive mentions. Expect a practical, budget-friendly stopover close to O'Hare with trade-offs in polish and consistency.

Amenities and rooms great. A little frustrating because we have an electric car, and the only two chargers for Tesla. The other one for our vehicle was broken, no adapter available. Disappointing.

Stay was OK. wifi was very slow and disconnects often. Disgusting smell of cigarettes in the corridors. Parking very limited. EV charging available. Hotel is clean but really basic in everything. Breakfast was the same food everyday, which was ok but you get tired after 9 days of eating the same exact items :) I wish they had better mattresses without sagging edges, and bathrooms with a sink INSIDE. The staff was very helpful, until the last day when they denied us the shuttle service back to the airport, and we had to spend $32 on Uber XL. They said we were not on the "shuttle list".

Priced right and convenient. Quick check-in. Breakfast was nice. Checkout was a breeze. Nice staff. One elevator was not working. EV Car charging station was not working. Mirror by the sink is suitable for people shorter than 5ft 7inches and I went to a fast food place to shave.

As perfect as a visit as possible! Easy to check-in early. 24/7 coffee and hot tea available in lobby. Room was perfect. Clean. Comfy bed and pillows and nice top blanket. Plentiful outlets for charging electronics. Easy to access ice. Never a long wait for service at the front desk. “Tiffany’s” restaurant located in parking lot. I only wish I had known to request 10% discount. There is a small gas station across the street to allow a pick up of a beer or 2 to put in the refrigerator in the room. Low price for the beer. The courtesy shuttle bus ran EXACTLY on time. The complimentary breakfast was perfect. Something for everyone-even picky me! Hot, quality coffee. Breakfast hours are open for a generous 4 hours. I was there for Des Plaines Theatre and it is a super convenient location. Easy to get a Lyft or Uber to the venue and back. I would love to return to this hotel again! Thank you!!!

Clean and comfortable. Friendly staff Booked because we were able to park our vehicle there while we on our cruise for a very reasonable price. The shuttle was on time and also picked us up from the airport on our return with a quick phone call.

I never leave reviews, but I feel the public should know what to expect if they stay here. My room was very dusty and carpet was not vacuumed (there were food crumbs all over the carpet). I had to buy my own dusters and a dust buster vacuum to clean my room properly myself as I have dust allergies which were extremely bothersome before I cleaned the room myself. The duster I used was black after I dusted. The pillows on my bed smelled of perspiration. Asked for freshly cleaned pillowcases that I replaced and was much better. Highly doubt the pillowcases were changed after previous guest. I used a tad bit more toilet paper in the toilet which caused a clog and when I tried to call the front desk to ask for a plunger, the phone in the room did not work. Went to the front desk and personally asked for a plunger and they said that they couldn’t provide one because their maintenance man had them all and he was off duty at the time. I also severely scraped my thigh on a sharp corner of the night table while walking to the bathroom late at night. I highly suggest corner guards on their nightstands. I shudder to think what would happen if there were a small child in my room and injured their head on the sharp corners. The hallway smelled very musty, dingy and dirty as well. One of the worst hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Would not recommend if you expect a clean place to stay without having to properly clean it yourself.

The condition of the room and several other aspects of my stay were far below the standards I expect from a reputable hotel. Hallway carpet are dirty and stained. Upon arriving at our assigned room, we were immediately met with a room that was not clean. The carpet was stained, there were hairs in the bed. Also the room had a strong and unpleasant chemical odor. This chemical smell, made my wife and I feel nauseated. Due to the unacceptable condition of the room, we were forced to request a different room. Beyond the room itself, we also encountered problems with the parking lot that was consistently full. Breakfast was blend and never changed up. I will not be staying at this hotel in the future.

I had an exceptional stay at Spark by Hilton Des Plaines Chicago O'Hare, and every aspect truly deserves 5 stars. The reception staff were warm, efficient, and made the check-in process seamless and welcoming, they evene helped me to set the internet connection on my pc, thanks Dana!. Throughout my stay, the staff service stood out for its professionalism and sincere hospitality; everyone was friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. The accommodations were spotless, spacious, and well-appointed, with comfortable bedding and thoughtful amenities that made me feel completely at home. The shuttle service was another highlight: punctual, clean, and operated by courteous drivers:special thanks to Sam for the great soccer conversation! I also want to personally commend Marie Romero for her warm, personal yet highly professional attitude, which added a special touch to my experience. Overall, the stay was flawless from start to finish, and I highly recommend Spark by Hilton Des Plaines Chicago O'Hare to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and exceptional service.

Hotel very dated. Has a good shuttle service to and from the airport. Parking lot is small since it is shared with a restaurant. ALL linens and towels were stained and gave a not clean appearance. Shower was small and arms touched wall and glass door very with my small frame. Okay for one night but wouldn’t book again.

Staff is not the friendliest, but answered all questions. Shuttle bus free. Uber will deliver. There is a great Greek restaurant at the same location.

The WiFi was unsecured with no password. The hot water lasts about two minutes before it becomes lukewarm even if turned all the way to hot. Water pressure is poor. When I brought these things up the following morning they kindly offered to switch my room. I asked if that would fix any of the issues and they said likely not. I went down to the front desk the first night to inquire about the WiFi and no one was there. I waited for 5-10 minutes but no one showed up. On the bright side the air conditioner worked well.

It was very frustrating around the desk in the room, not having electrical outlets to be able to charge up my computer without moving big chest. Also, the automatic turn on turn off Lights in the Bathroom are horrible coming on when you get up in the middle of the night. Get rid of those!

I would of gave this place a 5 star until one of the cleaning ladies took my bfs Air Force shoes in one of our Nike shopping bag while we were out exploring Chicago which we had left from 10am-8pm and we returned we noticed one of the nike shopping bags gone but just assumed they threw it since the shoes in that bag my bf had worn out and we went straight to bed since I had to be in the airport by 8:30am so when we checked out which was at 8am and by 8:20 I had got to the airport and my boyfriend left back driving to his destination and at 8:23am my boyfriend texted me saying he can’t find his shoes so I called the hotel at 9:03am to see if they had found them or they were turned in and the front desk said no my boyfriend doubled checked to make sure he probably misplaced them in his truck but no he didn’t find nothing so I called again the front desk at 7:23pm and still they didn’t find them or turn them in so just be careful because the staff(well the ladies cleaning) are stealing stuff from the rooms whenever your gone.

We didn't have a trash bin, there weren't bedside tables, our one lamp wasn't plugged in, we had to pull the beds out to get access to some outlets. Breakfast was fine but the breakfast area is WAY too small. People were waiting for more eggs, coffee, waffles, etc because there wasn't enough put out. Location is terrible too. Right off of a busy street with small driveways.
