Spark by Hilton Hilton Head Island

Perfect selection

Very nice hotel, especially for the price. It is about a mile from the beach so you could walk there if you wanted to, but is tucked away from the road so it’s really quiet at night. Our room was very clean, roomy, and had a lot of natural light during the day. We enjoyed the continental breakfast in the morning; the food was all fresh. They even have little cards with different “recipes” to make with what’s available and they serve regular milk & oat milk! They also have a 24 hour coffee bar that stays stocked and a water bottle refill station which was great! The staff were all friendly and willing to help with extra accommodations such as towels, pillows, etc,. We had a nice stay here and would recommend it!

There were a ton of different reviews when I checked this place out—some loved it, others called it trash. To be fair, we traveled during the slower time of year, which is definitely a plus. So if you can visit in October when kids are back in school and families aren’t traveling, I’d recommend it. We stayed on the 3rd floor, I believe room 318. It was pretty far from the elevator but conveniently located across from the stairs, which worked out well. I noticed they offered free breakfast, though it was more of a continental style with some upgrades. They had great options; my favorite was the fresh yogurt. The eggs were super tough to peel, but they had mayo, mustard, salt, and pepper, so I made an egg salad sandwich. They also had Nutella, which was a nice little treat. Honestly, it was so quiet during our stay, but I will say the rooms aren’t very soundproof—less than a Marriott or Westin, so you can hear quite a bit. That’s why I’d probably avoid this place if it’s really busy. The gym was sufficient for a solid workout, and they even provided bottled water, which was a nice touch. The staff was very friendly and made the stay enjoyable
