Very nice clean room, room service was excellent. Really needs to keep the coffeeshop open later then Noon. Even at a conference people want speciality coffee

Spark by Hilton Roanoke Civic Center
Rooms on bottom floor get to listen to the click clack of wheels across tile. Laundry room is located in the middle of rooms and cleaning staff is very loud. NOT conducive to rest. Continental breakfast is a joke and coffee is WEAK.
