I spent one night (a Wednesday evening) at this property in early June. It's conveniently located right off of Interstate 81. While that makes it a bit farther from the historic part of downtown Staunton, there are plenty of fast casual restaurants nearby. The exterior of the hotel looks a touch dated.
Lily was very friendly at check-in and even offered an upgrade based on my Hilton Honors status level. Check-in was very easy. The room I was assigned met my listed preferences - top floor and away from the elevator.
The room was comfortable and just what anyone might need. Perhaps a bit sparce. I liked that the desk could pull out into an L-shape for lots of extra work or dining space if needed. Everything was clean and functioned as it should.
I don't like showers that almost require you to get wet when you turn it on. Make sure to angle the head down before turning on the water.
The comfort and the rooms are on par with Hampton Inns. The main difference is that breakfast. The buffet doesn't have any hot items. I heard the breakfast attendant say "the eggs are over here." and when I looked they were hard boiled eggs (which I enjoy, for the record). I still enjoyed juice, an egg, and cereal.
Spark is a newer brand (as of June 26) and it's a great budget offering. I'd say here again. read more
