What guests think

Spark by Hilton Minot draws consistent praise for very clean, recently updated rooms and generally friendly front desk staff, with many guests noting comfortable beds plus a convenient location near Highway 2 and nearby shopping and dining.

Common downsides include a very limited continental breakfast with few or no hot items. Facilities can feel basic, with a small or occasionally closed pool, a modest fitness room, and intermittent ice machine outages. Several reviews also mention thin walls or early‑morning noise and that many rooms lack a microwave or in‑room coffeemaker. Expect a clean, budget‑friendly stay with simple amenities.

The breakfast consists of a bagel or cereal; no hot food. The fitness center is a single treadmill machine. Otherwise, the room was very clean and housekeeping came in & out discreetly.

We had a great stay there but their pool area is very small and the hot water didn't work the weekend that we were there. Other than that it was clean and the staff was friendly

While the staff was friendly and efficient the property and facilities were lacking. The hotel seemed new but while the rooms had many access and charging stations there was no clock, coffeemaker, ice bucket or even paper cups or plastic glasses. The only functioning icemachine was 2 floors up, gym was closed. Fast access to the highway.

Room was comfortable, spacious and bright. The location is great as it is close to shopping and great restaurants. Breakfast was great. Sadly the pool has no hot tub. The girl at the front desk was so polite and helpful.

The breakfast was limited choices and provided no hot options. The pool was CLOSED and this was the reason we chose this hotel. We will not be returning to this hotel in Minot.

Easy to find, friendly/helpful front desk check-in, room as expected, comfortable bed, perfectly functioning HVAC, construction in the pool/fitness area, so that should be nice in a few weeks.

Clean and quiet. Room was comfortable and we slept well. Breakfast was standard offerings and was fine overall. The ice machine was broken on the main floor and the 2nd floor ice machine was missing - thankfully we were able to get ice finally on the 3rd floor. I travelled with a companion and we both agreed we were mostly pleased with our stay and would probably stay here again.

When we arrived we got our key card. When we opened the door to our room, it was already occupied by someone else. I feel that our safety and security was compromised, and I felt unsafe the whole time we were there. The room was not the cleanest and the bedspread was stained. The breakfast was very basic. I was disappointed that there was no complementary tea in our room, and tea bags weren’t available in the breakfast room. We would not stay here again

Arrived to lobby with a ton of people talking at maximum volume after 9pm at night. It was so loud communicating with the front desk to check in was a challenge. Limited parking meant i had to park behind the hotel. Room seemed nice but when i went into the cramped bathroom i saw hair and dirt in the tub. Went down for breakfast and was very disappointed. Not even a continental breakfast. Couldnt find milk for the cereal, had to ask someone and when i found it it was fairly empty. Heard someone ask for more and then they gave up when it didnt happen. They had a bunch of jelly, butter, peanut butter but dont serve bread (i asked) so no toast...not sure what all the spreads are for then. Pretty disappointed for the price.

I travel to Minot frequently in the fall and winter. It was a very nice stay. Breakfasts were good and it was very clean and neat. The beds are comfortable, but not great. It did have some noise, but overall, it was quiet at night. It’s not really within walking distance of anything, but it is one of the nicer hotels I’ve stayed at when I am in Minot.

I chose the hotel for a 5 night stay expecting coffee and microwave. Disappointing. Thin walls and noisy. Beautiful decor. Nice linens. No desk chair so could not work in the evenings. Would be great for a single night stay but go elsewhere for longer stays.

We waited for 10 minutes before anyone appeared at the front desk to check us in. Once he showed up, it was quick and efficient. The bed was decent and the shower was good, which are the two most important things for me. BUT, employees were sloppy in appearance…hard to distinguish from guests. The TV in our room didn’t work (no signal), the WiFi was very spotty and the breakfast was just sad. There was no protein at all. I booked this hotel based on previous reviews that said the breakfast was good.

The young lady who was just hired and working in the breakfast area was a pleasure to be around so helpful and gracious. It was another great experience at the Sierra Inn!

Our stay at Spark was a good one. The property was very clean and the location convenient. You can get to the Dakota Square Mall and other places of interest in less than 15 minutes. Breakfast choices were ok. I which that there was more variety, similar to what you would get at other Hilton properties like the Hampton. The staff was cordial, but not friendly. Overall, I would stay here again.
