Spark by Hilton Des Plaines Chicago O'Hare

“I'm not sure where the bad reviews come from on this hotel. We had a wonderful stay here. They let us check in early, room was very clean, great staff. Looked like the hotel had been updated recently. Convenient to restaurants & shopping. There wasn't alot of parking because they were working on it. We had no problem finding a nice spot behind the building for long term parking though. Shuttle was on time going to the airport & on our return. One of the best we have had.”

“Waited 45 minutes for the shuttle at ohare T2, which did not show up (or at least I didn't see it). Ended up taking an uber, since it was late and cold outside. The hotel lobby is unassuming, and the hallways are dark. Checkin was quick and efficient, but front desk staff was disinterested in sharing any details about hotel (breakfast hours, amenities, etc.). The room itself was clean, with comfortable beds and linens. Nothing glamorous, but I got comfortable sleep. TV worked fine, but was a bit glitchy in the morning. Checkout was quick, and I was on my way.”

“After a horrible travel experience and being rebooked by United, I received a hotel voucher and chose Spark by Hilton near O’Hare because it was close and I’d never stayed at a Spark before. From the shuttle pickup at Terminal 2 to checkout the next day, the experience was excellent. The shuttle driver was kind and the whole group of delayed travelers bonded a bit on the ride — everyone was in the same boat, and it honestly helped lift our spirits. When we arrived, the front desk staff was calm, professional, and incredibly kind. They knew we’d all had a rough travel day and handled everything with patience and grace. The rooms were clean, warm, modern, and comfortable with everything you need — comfy beds, flat-screen TV, mini fridge, ironing board, and a clean updated bathroom. The hotel feels new and well cared for. They helped us find food since the restaurant was closed, and I used my food vouchers for pizza delivery. In the morning, the breakfast bar was fully stocked, very clean, and well attended by staff, with a separate coffee and tea station. They even gave me a late checkout since my flight wasn’t until 4 PM, no problem at all. Shuttle back to the airport was right on time. Huge thanks to the front desk team and shuttle staff — everyone was wonderful. Five stars all the way.”

“This hotel is decent. Lobby did not make a great impression, but the rooms are really nice. Very clean and very modern. I was impressed. My name was on the TV when I walked in and the HVAC has just been updated with a high tech thermostat. Mini fridge and desk . It’s pretty much no extra frills but nice for a night, especially for a pitstop close to the airport. The bathroom is really nice!”

“Stranded at O'Hare and scrambling to find a place to stay that is cheap but not disgusting?You've found it! Is it incredible? No. But is it clean, convenient, and comfortable? YES. Recently remodeled, comfortable beds, clean room, free shuttle to and from the airport every 30 minutes from 5am - midnight. If you're stuck, STAY HERE!”
