Reviews
The hotel is undergoing renovation, which has led to a mix of recently updated and outdated rooms. However, cleanliness is a major concern across the property, with multiple guests reporting dirty rooms, bathrooms, and common areas. The hotel staff is generally friendly and helpful, but the renovation and cleanliness issues have negatively impacted the overall guest experience.
- Recently updated rooms are in great condition
- Friendly and helpful hotel staff
- Cleanliness issues across the property
- Ongoing renovation causing inconvenience

The pictures did not match the actual place, but it was clean. The hotel charged us an extra fee for some Corpus Christi tax that I was not expecting.

My room wasn’t clean one day I was there (even tho I had requested it) albeit to the maid. The entrance of the property needs to be be upgraded. However the breakfast was accommodating .

Location Mold
- 4/5
Location easy to find and they kept coffee in the lobby hot and fresh. The bed was super comfortable and the AC worked great! Spark does not have coffee pots in the rooms anymore so that was a disappointment but not a deal breaker as coffee was not far from our room in the lobby. The shower necessities were empty but I always carry back up.

The room smelled like mold, the bedding was dirty. The curtain and shower had black mold the rug was dirty. The pool had a film hovering above it was so dirty and disgusting the ac stopped working 3 times there was no coffee when I went down for breakfast. They made coffee it was the worst code I’ve ever tasted in my life. Even the stairs and elevator were dirty and smelled. They clearly do not care about cleanliness. Worst hotel stay of my life. I left the next day and went to la Quinta 5 minutes away. They were so clean and made my stay at hotel so much better. Dirty, smelled like mold had mold on the curtain and black mold in the shower rug was dirty had to call front desk 3 times for the ac not working there was a shortage in the wires. The guy came up and played with the cables 3 times to get it working. The elevator and stairs were dirty. The bathrooms were dirty the pool was discusting worst hotel stay I’ve ever had in my entire life. This place is a health hazard to anyone who stays here.

Floor was soaked from the A/C unit leaking, room had that lovely mildew smell...the smell of old ripe towels
- 5/5
Air conditioning was tricky and smoke alarm went off but staff was very fast at responding to needs.
- 1/5
There was limited to no maintenance done. They claim to have complimentary breakfast but there was barely any food provided and when it finished it was not replenished. The I booked was advertised as having a mini fridge and microwave, but what we got was a mini-mini fridge (tiny) and no microwave. They could not even provide an ice bucket to get ice. An finally, when checking out the manager refused to provide a receipt (either by email or printed copy). By far one of my worst stays at a hotel.
- 3/5
Not in great condition with water stains on ceiling and walls. Moldy smell and stopper in the tub would not seal. Lastly, while a microwave is indicated, it was downstairs and not in the room.
- 1/5
Smell was terrible!! Room was not clean until we left cleaning supplies for the maid. LOUD!!!!! Sounded like a dog kennel. We lost 1 day of payment that we made. Had to get out of there!!!!! Went to a Marriott.
- 3/5
The shower had mold, the bathroom counter rusty, the bathroom door handle was ill fitting and obviously just replaced with whatever they could find. I was expecting better, but was definitely underwhelmed.
- 2/5
The location was great. The grounds were dirty, lobby was picked up but not "clean". Coffee area was not clean, creamer was spilled and dried, and grimy. Smudges everywhere, lobby looked dingy and unswept/mopped. Our room was available early which was really nice but the duvet cover on one of the beds was dirty and stained. There was a hair in the bed, the bar of soap in the bathroom was leftover from the previous guest and the bed frame had something spilled on it. We slept horribly that night. Bed was uncomfortable and pillows were way too soft. It just felt overall icky. Staff was nice but it's the worst hotel experience we've had.
- 1/5
Room was dirty, bed smelled like dirty body odor like the sheets looked clean but the pillows and mattress smelled musty and dirty. Rust in the bathtub and the drain was clogged and barely drained after a few hours. The carpet in the room was stained and old looking. It was a terrible experience - we arrived at midnight and checked out by 7am because we did not want to be there a moment longer.
- 2/5
It was handicap room bathroom floor floods, wall repair not done in bathroom needs touch up paint all over, shower head not working properly and curtains would not block light out from on the building.
- 2/5
An additional $75 deposit, although refundable, remains as overkill in the financial picture. The room rate was entirely sufficient !
- 2/5
Didn't get to try anything cuz no one told me or the never notified me about my room ready. .so I never got to stay and to show It was payed
- 3/5
The elevator took forever. It was the worst breakfast I've had in a hotel.
- 4/5
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Was confused by the room thermostat and the window A/C as to what controlled what, my sister had an adjoining room and her AC worked well because she only had the thermostat on the wall. Other than that the area was great, plenty of food options and easily accessible to the highway. Would def stay here again

Was like b being in heaven wonderful time

This is an older property, but they have been doing a lot of work on it. The beds and linens were comfy, rooms were well-furnished and modern, and a safe was available in each room. The ac was adjustable and worked very well, the TV was high quality. Staff is very friendly and accommodating.

The room was okay, but need a coffee maker inside.

Had to call the front office had to let us in.

But it was soooo loud. We heard people banging and walking and running until 1am. Then we went out to our car at 11:30pm and there were two big trucks blocking the doorway with their lights on and it was weird and they were there for forever. It was an off feeling and just creepy

It started out rough for me because I am particular with the TV and it was not working. It was unplugged and I had to move the furniture it was sitting on to get to the cord. It took me a while to figure it out. The staff was great especially Dk. He was very helpful. Breakfast was ok. The room was clean but had a little mole in shower, not to much. Had a bug in bathroom. Just one. The AC was good. Overall I was satisfied.
- 2/5
Staff make me wait an 1.5 hrs to get me my room . And when I asked if they did bed I. Breakfast service to bi g up to your room he rudely said no get it myself. It wound have been. One thing to hear no, sorry we don't provide that. But he was just flat out rude.

We were traveling for a quick trip, 1 night only. The check in was smooth and staff were friendly. Overall, maintenance was good. Breakfast was very limited. Most things were prepackaged.
- 3/5
Arrinving you can see the lackof maintenanse in the building. In the room air is wierd, start to cool and goes to tep set but to start again to cool down it let the room warm a little and start again. Mattress is very soft so no support and pillows the same. Breakfast is very but very simple, one fruit and some bagels milk and cereal. Did not see the SPARK

They have one microwave next to the check in counter & the guy told me it was for the entire hotel to use whenever they needed to use it. That’s very inconvenient & highly inconsiderate of a hotel to do to a hotel full of guests. A hotel who wants to be highly rated by guests should very well be sure to convenience their guests with things needed inside the rooms instead of having them all leave their rooms & go back to the lobby to all use that one & only microwave. I only booked the place because it said in room microwaves. I was told those were for the more expensive hotels & to use that one in the lobby. I will never book there again simply for the in room items that need to be there for my family’s convenience.
- 3/5
Breakfast was so poor. There was a dog barking Boiled eggs, bagels and cereal. The hallways smelled of either weed and/or mildew. The elevator was sketchy and tight.

Staff friendliness was the ultimate stand out! Appreciated a clean room and working A.C., it was a very comfortable stay. Location is perfect right in the center of everything.Parking is lit and safe as well. I forgot something in the room, hours later remembered and they had it waiting at the front desk for me to pick up.

Clean room
- 3/5
This space was not worth the price in our opinion. The staff was amazing. Super friendly and accommodating but the property and room was pretty ick. Not the worse place we stayed but for sure not the best. Stains on linens, hair in tub, toilet area and counter on the sink and the room was really humid. It took hours before it got comfortable. The carpet was also sticky in spots so we leftvour shoes on until we got in bed. Breakfast was sparse. It was just bagels so if you look at free breakfast as a perk, you’ll be disappointed. Huge pothole when we entered the property with a big rock sticking out also so use caution entering. I’m surprised Hilton put their name on this place as it’s not the kind of hotel that seems up to Hilton standards.

The windows curtains were full of mold. It was so gross.
- 3/5
My kids came back to the room disappointed because all there was to offer was boiled eggs & juice! When I called the hotel the previous day the automated answering machine stated they had a “bagel bar” there was not 1 bagel in sight. Cereal, yogurts or bagels or items to take on the go that can still be considered a continental breakfast would be great. A little disappointing to rearrange plans to accommodate breakfast for kids before a busy day

Desk was unattended the times I needed something. Had to Pay a $75 security deposit upon arrival. Never mentioned prior to arrival so that wasn't expected. The food shown on the Hotels.com showed warm breakfast. They only have bagels and cereal/oatmeal. (low on cereal anyway) The bathroom shower/tub had mold. Always look under the soap tray on the wall. There was hair on the shower wall from the previous person. I don't usually do reviews, but this was not what I expected on a family stay.

Hotel is not up to Hilton Standards. When you book a Hilton hotel, you expect a certain quality and cleanliness.
- 5/5
Everything was wonderful ,except where we were staying,There must’ve been quite a few families because there was a lot of kids running up and down the hall most of the night I slept through it. It bothered my husband other than that from the time we walked in until the time we left, everyone was absolutely wonderful. The little breakfast was good. The bed was super comfy .The location is excellent you’re around all the best restaurants. It’s convenient to get in and out to go to Padre Island. Will definitely stay there again. I highly recommend Sparks by the Hilton Corpus Christi..

What looked like mold on AC unit, curtains, bathroom wall, corner of bedroom wall, in grout. Main room door was hard to tell if door was locked. Bathroom door was too big for opening and wouldn't shut. Chipped tiles along wall in bathroom floor, bathroom counter had stains, rust in tub, rust on fire sprinkler heads, paint in all rooms sloppy with many parts chipped, one part of wall in bathroom partially ripped, trash under bed, cups provided had holes in them, floor so dirty it turned my feet black. AC kept room cool, but was very loud, doors slamming constantly, people outside in parking being loud throughout the night, lots of incredibly loud cars passing by and what sounded like metal hitting the concrete outside constantly. Hair balls in tub, dirty shower head, shampoo and body wash dispenser, but no conditioner, hair dryer provided, plenty of towels, toilet paper rolls too big for holder so fell off every time. I couldn't get tub faucet to get blocked completely when showering, water temperature was good. TV was nice, desk area nice and had a foldout leaf, fridge was dripping water, all lights worked, standing lamp shade dirty with dust and black spots. Plenty of covers and 3 pillows. Breakfast was very limited compared to what I am used to.
