Spark by Hilton Fredericksburg Southpoint

Don Julio restaurant next door was especially convenient, and there were plenty of other places to eat and shop nearby. The overall feel was safe and relaxing, and it was one of the better value stays in the area. I had a great stay at The Spark Hotel bu Hilton in Spotsylvania. The staff were friendly and welcoming from check-in through checkout, and the room was spotless, modern, and comfortable, just what I needed after a long travel day. I'd absolutely come back.

Everything about the stay met or beat Hilton standards, and the points price was so low I was a little wary at first. Turned out to be the best deal I’ve ever gotten with my Hilton HHonors points.

We were heading from South Jersey to Raliegh and wanted to get south of DC Thursday night before finishing the drive Friday. The location worked perfectly. Check-in was around 10:30 pm, and the lobby was clean and the staff were courteous. For the price, the room suited us, even though it had a sterile smell and the bathroom smelled a bit damp. The room setup met our needs, though I wouldn’t want to work for long at the desk because its chair was metal. We grabbed a bagel and juice in the morning and got back on the road. The checkout staff were courteous too. I’d stay here again for a similar trip.

For the overnight price, I was quite happy with the breakfast choices. The bagel bar was there, along with cereal, instant oatmeal, yogurt, and hard-boiled eggs. I’d read the reviews before arriving at Spark and expected less. Honestly, hotel scrambled eggs are so full of additives that eating them every morning for a week would leave you sluggish, if not worse.
