Spark by Hilton Eden Prairie

Great place to settle in for a night after a long day of travel. We ventured down to the cities and wanted to stay close to Minneapolis, but not pay the Minneapolis price. We found this place as we were researching where to stay. Seemed well kept online and at a more reasonable cost then the rooms downtown and near the MOA. The parking lot is a bit tricky when other drivers are coming out when you are trying to get in. Other than then check-in was a breeze, the rooms are updated, you are walking distance from a mall and plenty of restaurants. Breakfast was typical continental, nothing too fancy. Overall it was a great stay, we would come back if the need arise.

We stayed here 2 nights while en route to Austin TX. A friend suggested it and we're glad we took her advice. Our goal was to visit the Arboretum and Minnehaha Falls. This hotel is well located for both. We also toured James J. Hill House and killed some time when the weather wasn't ideal, in Mall of America. The hotel is also situated adjacent to a grocery store, liquor store and gas station plus a Smash Burger (gourmet burgers). They also offer a hot breakfast (waffles, eggs, breakfast meat - bacon /sausage, toast, bagels) as well as typical cold breakfasts (cereal, fruit, yogurt). We would stay here again.

We visited for 3 nights to visit some twin City landmarks. We are not fussy travelers when staying at hotels. We just need a good place to sleep. Location: it's far from the usual attractions but is very close to the I-494. ex. Mall of America is 10-15 minutes away. There are a bunch of restaurants and a small mall within walking distance plus Walmart and Target very close by. Service: Friendly & helpful service at all levels. Room: Adequate for our purposes. No complaints. Extra: Hot breakfast available until 9am (take note late risers). Pool open until 10pm. Elevator close to front desk. Parking: There were always available spaces. Not sure about US holidays though. Would definitely stay again.

One of the best hotels you can book for this price. Our room was very clean, and the woman at the front desk was very nice. A+ experience! Very cool! Eden Prairie is also a very nice city—we loved visiting here. This hotel is a great fit this city.

I have stayed at many Best Westerns in the past and always had a decent experience, but this was my first poor experience that was bad enough that I wanted to write a review which I usually don't do. Location: If you need to be in Eden Prairie this is a wonderful location. Takes about 20 minutes and $25 + tip if you are taking an Uber/Lyft. It is located across from a Target and a gas station with a convenience store and close to a big mall. Right next door is Cub Foods (grocery store chain). On the other side of the parking lot is a SmashBurger and a lot of other places to eat within walking distance. Room: The room was nice. Felt a little cramped if you are looking for a working space, but otherwise it was a nice, clean, and comfortable room. The room I was assigned had a broken AC that was blowing very humid air and created a pretty bad smell (like old pet pee on the carpet). I asked the front desk for a room change and they said it needed a manager's approval who will not be available until next day. The next day I asked a different person at the desk who took one whiff of the room and changed the room immediately with no approval required from anyone else. Breakfast: The breakfast was pre-made fried egg patties (the kinds used at fast food places for breakfast sandwiches) which were dry at the edges. It was so gross that I spit it out on the first bite. They also had bacon and sausage in hot trays. The bagels and muffins tasted stale, and the only fruit was days old oranges. They also had some yogurt and a waffle machine, but I didn't see anything that you can use to make waffles. On the second day they did not even have bread for toast. I ended up eating at a cafe during my entire stay there. Internet: I was trying to work but the internet was flaky and consistently dropped every 5-8 minutes at all times of the day. Little things: While these do not affect the stay, they do change your experience. The first room I was in the faucet in the bath tub was loose and shower head didn't let me change the settings. One of the cupboard doors won't hold so it stayed open. The second room was put together much better but the bath tub won't drain after the shower so I had to hold it open so the tub will drain. They are going through some face lift on the exterior. Hopefully, they will update inside too but I cannot recommend this place in it current state.

Cons- - Extremely slow drain in the bath-tub. After 30 seconds I'd be standing in about 2 inches of back water. - No Safe in the room. -Night Stand digital clock was dead. -No stationary to write on. Plus+ +Rooms were clean +Swimming pool & sauna were clean and temps were perfect for both. Nice way to unwind after a full day of traveling. +Great location with restaurants & stores within walking distance. +Decent Continental Breakfast +Decent Wifi
