Traveling during the holidays is always a bit daunting. But we all brave those airport lines, flight delays, traffic, and the added expenses so that we can spend quality time with our loved ones. Fortunately, you don’t have to completely sacrifice your budget thanks to a new line of hotels catered to savvy, budget-friendly travelers: Spark by Hilton.
From a complimentary bagel bar in the morning to comfortable, quiet rooms, these hotels make the perfect home base for all the holiday magic this year. Whether you’re planning a trip to see relatives or you’re exploring a new city with your family, here are 10 affordable hotels located in the most popular U.S. destinations.

Just 10 miles from the famous Disney World and 2 miles from Universal Studios Orlando, Spark by Hilton Orlando gives you access to the area’s top attractions without putting you right in the middle of it all. Whether you’re relaxing poolside or enjoying your complimentary coffee and breakfast, you’ll feel as though you’ve immediately entered vacation mode.

Located in West Miami, less than 11 miles from the airport, Spark by Hilton Miami Doral is situated near some of the city’s most exciting shopping and dining. (There’s even a shuttle service to and from the airport.) Plus, booking a budget-friendly Miami hotel means you can spend more on your other travel activities!
If your holiday plans include a trip to Tampa, you’ll be thrilled to hear that Spark by Hilton Tampa Brandon offers a budget-friendly stay just 5 minutes from the bustling Brandon Town Shopping Center. Other area attractions include the Florida State Fairgrounds, Midflorida Amphitheater, and the SportsPlex of Tampa Bay. Traveling with your whole crew? You can opt for adjoining rooms, some of which are also pet-friendly.

A trip to Las Vegas can be quite pricey—unless, of course, you’ve scouted out an affordable and convenient place to stay. Spark by Hilton Las Vegas Airport checks off both boxes, situated within 3 miles of Allegiant Stadium, the Las Vegas Strip, and Town Square Las Vegas. This is one of the newly built hotels, so you can expect your room to be sparkling clean and oh-so-comfortable. I love the subtle desert motif throughout the property.
Atlanta is a major travel hub, and that’s especially true during the holidays. If you want to stretch your travel budget even further, be sure to book your stay at any of the handful of Spark by Hilton locations in Atlanta. Spark by Hilton Atlanta Airport South College Park is just off I-85 near the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. For a fun day trip, the Georgia Aquarium is a little under 14 miles away.

No trip to Nashville is complete without a little live music, and when you book your stay at Spark by Hilton Nashville at Opryland, you’ll be just 2 miles from the Grand Ole Opry and close to some fun, lively restaurants. You can also venture into the heart of town easily, reaching the iconic Broadway honkytonks in about 20 minutes. The amenities at this Spark Hotel include a 24-hour gym, pet-friendly rooms, and more.
About 30 minutes north of Austin, Texas, Spark by Hilton Round Rock is a pet-friendly, family-friendly option for travelers looking to explore some of Texas’s lesser-known attractions. Round Rock is home to High Country Market Bistro, a converted gas station that now operates as a gastro-pub, plus a vintage-style record store, Piranha Records. Let’s just say you won’t run out of fun things to do, and when you’re ready to recharge, your clean, cozy room will be ready and waiting.
Looking for an affordable place to stay in San Francisco? The city is notoriously expensive, but if you can have some flexibility in your location, you’ll find Spark by Hilton San Jose Airport about 40 miles from the city. With features like blackout curtains, you’re in for a quality night of sleep before waking up, enjoying a complimentary breakfast, and then exploring San Jose or SF.

If your holiday travel plans include some time in New York City, we’ve found the perfect, affordable place to stay: Spark by Hilton Rahway. It’s in Union County, New Jersey, but still within 30 miles of Manhattan. With a heated indoor pool and 24-hour fitness center, you can start your day off right before exploring all that the tri-state area has to offer. Plus, you’ll be close to the Newark Airport for an easy fly-in or fly-out experience.

Another major hub for holiday travel, Washington D.C. can be especially expensive this time of year. Fortunately, Spark by Hilton Germantown Washington D.C. North offers Hilton’s signature experience just 45 minutes away from the city. You’ll be staying in Germantown, Maryland, which is a destination in its own right. Outdoor enthusiasts will love taking advantage of nearby trails, including the ones found within Black Hills Regional Park. Or, to get to the city, hop on the metro at nearby Shady Grove and enjoy the hustle and bustle of the nation’s capital.
