What guests think

At Spark by Hilton Bensalem Philadelphia, reviewers repeatedly praise very clean, recently updated rooms and friendly, efficient staff, with a convenient location for Parx Casino, Sesame Place and nearby shops making it a practical base for short stays.

Guests like the pool, hot tub, and ample parking, though the pool and gym have at times been closed or under renovation, and temperature control in the water drew complaints. Rooms feel modern but somewhat minimal, with reports of limited storage and missing in-room items like microwaves or safes, and occasional noise from thin walls. Breakfast is mostly a cold bagel-bar style spread that many find fine for a quick start, but those wanting hot options wished for more. Expect a clean, straightforward stay focused on essentials.

The front desk staff was very friendly and professional. The rooms were comfortable,with no issues. The only drawback was that the pool and gym were under renovation.😠 Overall, we had a pleasant stay.

We stayed after a visit to Sesame Place. It was clean and comfortable. The staff was courteous. The pool was clean and comfortable! Plenty of parking. A small selection of food for purchase was very convenient when my kids needed evening snacks! Complimentary breakfast was perfect and the staff was courteous and helpful!

We stayed because we visited Sesame Place. POOL wasnt open my kids very dissapointed... and when we call they gave us mixed information, some say it was opening soon, other staff that it wasnt opening, we basicallt chose this location because it had a pool if we knew it was going to be closed we would choose a fifferent location

Our stay was for 3 nights and we had a great time with using the pool and the games offered outside. Would recommend to add a fee other games like corn hole or the new tetris big game they offer at costco. Overall it was amazing and its pet friendly what our family mostly loved.

We really enjoyed the indoor pool and the outdoor seating area. However, the free morning breakfast doesnt come with eggs, bacon or sausage, or pancakes. Because everything else was super superb, we didnt think of that anymore during our four night stay. We love being here!

Only 2 things were not perfect... the pillows are too soft and the pool/hot tub was closed until our last day. Otherwise this Hotel is very close to perfect. Staff are extremely helpful and kind. Very conveniently located to Parx Racing and Casino. Enjoyed the hot tub right before checkout. Rosa at the bagel bar was awesome!!!!

I wish the pool water was much warmer, seems heat was not on for the pool. The hot tub temperature was too hot. also other guess was allowed to bring in and play music while the security guard sit there and said nothing, which disturbed us. there were also vaping, Property can check there camera they will see what i am saying, Over all the room and parking was great, we park rite by our room, room was clean and spacious, front desk and breakfast staffs was very polite.

Family of 4 stayed for 2 nights for July 4th weekend. The pool was a nice touch and definitely made the stay great for my 4 year old. We picked this hotel due to its proximity to Sesame Place & Shady Brook Farms both being about 11 and 15 min distance, respectively. Hotel was clean and the breakfast was good. Overall, we would stay here again.

Very thin walls, occupants conversation and lights in the hallway made for a restless sleep. Maid staff, kitchen staff were kind and accommodating. Workout room just too small to accommodate more than one person at a time. 2 floors are problematic for someone who feels safer in taller buildings

The man at the front desk was very polite. It was a few people checking in and he moved very fast. I love the music playing in the lobby. The only downfall was no microwave in the room. Had to go all the way to the front to heat my dinner up. Breakfast in the morning wasnt too bad. Room was very spacious and comfortable.

The hotels is conveniently located close to some delicious food and entertainment which was a plus. It's very clean looks newly remodeled/ built, breakfast was complimentary not continental just bread and coffee not many options available. Lastly, the rooms were confortable but the noise from other rooms and hallway were very noticeable which made the stay a little uncomfortable.

I'm not sure why I didn't book here in the first place as I am a Hilton rewards member.. I will stay here for sure again. Everything was very welcoming, including the staff.

We had booked 2 rooms for a 3 night stay. On the second night, there was a power outage due to a storm. There were no emergency generators at the facility. The hotel was dark, very dark. No emergency lights. There was no ventilation in the room as our windows did not open. It was scary and we felt unsafe. There was no communication by the staff. Guests were uncomfortable. After we toughed out that difficult first night of the power outage, in the light of day we were able to get down stairs to talk with staff. They could not put us up anywhere else, there would not be a generator available at all. We were told to check out, which we gladly did, even though we had no where to stay and were traveling with children. I expected more from the Hilton name for sure. I realize that Spark by Hilton is just that. A spark, no go.
