Hotel was under renovation, including whole lobby area filled with supplies, drywall, debris. Room was in good condition and clean. Beds were comfortable. However no hot water in showers, we let front desk know and they did not have a solution (suggested running shower for 25 minutes;we ran it for 30+ and never warmed up). Fronst desk clerk friendly but no help with water situation, we requested extra towels (room only had one) but were not given any. Thankfully price was relatively cheap and had a clean place to sleep, but i expect bare minimums like being able to get hot water and towels from Wyndham

The best way to describe the hotel is we couldn’t tell if it was being remodeled or torn down. There are 4 floors and only 2 were being used. The ice machine was broken on the 2nd floor. The water was lukewarm. It never got hot or cold. 2nd floor smelled like weed and holes in the walls were taped over with wallpaper. We never took off our socks because the carpet was dirty. I would not recommend staying here!

This hotel is a great deal for the price. Hallway carpets are somewhat stained and little little bit of a smell, but the room Itself was very clean and spacious! I would've given five stars if the lights in the parking lot worked. I stayed two nights and as a single woman traveling alone and getting to the hotel after dark having all the parking lot lights not working did not make me feel safe. I reported it to the desk person and they said they would let maintenance know and the lights still not work the next day.

A/C in room was obscenely loud ( #317 ). Hard to sleep. Shower stall leaked in a steady stream of probably a gallon per minute the whole time we were there. Told the front desk but nothing was done. No maid service over 3 nights/4 days. Kept having to get our room keys reprogrammed because they stopped working. Construction ( renovation ) work started about 7:00 a.m. on Monday in the room above us, consisting of Bob the Builder hammering in nails almost continuously. Stacks of mattresses and discarded furniture in the parking lot along with rat traps on the ground. This property needs new management. As we were leaving there were 5 employees standing around together at the front desk—just chatting. A VERY UNPLEASANT STAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Roaches. We stayed 2 nights. We should have left when we saw roaches, but we paid thru Expedia and they told us no refunds. They said they sprayed the bathroom after our first night, but I don't think so. The bugs were still there. The clerk at checkout promised the owner would call and make things right. It's been 4 days and no call yet.

For starters the bathroom floor was disgusting. My fresh clean towel had long black curly hair in one of them. As well as on bathroom floor and in the sheets. The ac unit was set to 68° but it was very warm in the room all night. Made it hard to sleep. At midnight, they apparently disable the WiFi bcz all the TV stations went to CHANNEL OFF AIR. So I could not watch out listen to TV while trying to finish up my reports for work. Also it disconnect from my laptop causing the past 3hrs of work I did was lost bc it lost internet connection. If they are going to disable internet at certain times they should make the guest aware. Also hard to sleep bc y there was an annoying buzzing and ringing noise that sounded like it was coming from in the hotel like from some type of machinery or tool. Lasted from I know midnight to 2am. Could have been harming but midnight but I didn’t realize it bc tv was working before midnight. I replied back to the Spark text informing them of issues and never heard anything back from anyone. The breakfast is not even worth messing with. The pictures online def do not resemble the actual cleanliness and integrity of building…it’s very dirty and dingy. The guy who checked me in was very nice though. The girl in the morning checking me out was nice to me but not others and not didn’t even attempt to assist a man with language barrier. Honestly shocked by amount of positive reviews bcz it’s dirty dingy gross.

My recent stay at Spark Hotel in Richardson, TX was a fantastic experience. From the moment I walked in, I was warmly welcomed by Sid at the front desk, whose professionalism and genuine hospitality set the tone for my stay. The entire hotel staff was courteous, attentive, and truly focused on guest satisfaction. The rooms were spotlessly clean, and the beds were incredibly comfortable—perfect for unwinding after a long day. I also appreciated the well-thought-out amenities, which made the stay even more convenient and enjoyable. The rooms are especially convenient for business travelers. The dedicated workspace includes a large, adjustable desk that can be configured as an L-shape, giving you the flexibility to face either the TV or the window—an ideal setup for staying productive while still feeling comfortable. For lady travelers, the bathroom offers two lighting options, which is a thoughtful touch and perfect for applying makeup with ease. While parts of the building could benefit from a few maintenance updates, the management and staff take feedback very seriously and make a visible effort to continuously maintain and improve the quality of the hotel. I highly recommend this hotel to other travelers. Whether you're here for business or leisure, Spark Hotel offers a relaxing, well-equipped, and welcoming environment that’s hard to beat. I’ll definitely be staying here again.

As someone who frequently travels, this is easily the worst place I have ever stayed at. The property management and staff was an absolute joke and completely unprofessional and it was unsafe and unclean. Aside from the fact that we had to get 3 different sets of room keys for our 3 day stay because they stopped working, a staff member literally sold the room we were in 3 hours after we checked in and gave a stranger keys to our room. We were laying in bed and a NON staff member walked into our room and stated he had just booked this same room that we had been occupying. If we had not been there, this person would have had access to all of our belongings and potentially stole everything we had. There was also a man staying next to us that had been waiting for a front desk staff member for over 3 hours because his room keys also stopped working, and the staff member returned with a salad after a 3 hour lunch break. We also seen a couple who checked in earlier that day and then a few hours later stated that they did not feel safe to stay there and did not have the patience for staff members who “did not have the time” for them. The side doors to the hotel never locked which was unsafe, and there was uncleaned cat litter spread across our carpet stairway for our entire visit. I would not recommend this stay to anyone and I would never stay here again even if I was paid to. The management and staff members should be very disappointed in how this hotel is being ran.

As a frequent guest at your hotel, I’ve always valued the comfort and service provided. However, my recent experience highlighted a few concerns that I hope can be addressed: Front Desk Interaction: The new front desk staff didn’t seem as friendly or welcoming as the previous team. A warm and courteous reception goes a long way in making guests feel valued, especially those who return regularly. Room Essentials: A basic necessity like a trash can was missing from my room. Despite informing the front desk, it was not provided during my stay. This impacted the overall convenience and cleanliness. Breakfast Menu Changes: I’ve mentioned this in a previous visit as well, but with the recent management change, the breakfast menu has been altered. The earlier menu offered a variety of options that suited everyone in the family. The current selection feels limited and less inclusive. I’m sharing this feedback with the hope that it helps improve the guest experience. I look forward to seeing these areas addressed in future stays

So much better than those rugs that hotels usually use. Only thing would make it a 5 star in my opinion , if they took out those ugly rugs in the hall ways. . They bring the hotel down. Other than that hotel was very nice. Please put a rug in the showers so no body falls . It's slippery in there , but I did love the bathroom.

The property recently transitioned to a Hilton. The good is the hotel is clean with friendly staff. The less good is the breakfast changed to only bagels and coffee with rancid orange juice. Before it was a full spread breakfast with eggs. Meat. Breads. Waffles. Juices. Etc their was also oddly no soap or shampoo and they don’t have it up front but maybe they forgot to add as it’s big bottles bolted on the walls.
