Spark by Hilton Biloxi Ocean Springs
7921 Lamar Poole Road, Biloxi, MS 39532
Off I-10 at Exit 50, this hotel trades beachfront prices for a five-mile drive to Ocean Springs Beach and easy access to the Promenade's restaurants and shops three miles away. Rooms come with a fridge, microwave, and in-room safe, and the free hot breakfast leans into a build-your-own bagel bar guests mention often. It's a practical pick for road-trippers on I-10 or families who'd rather spend casino-district money on the boat than the bed — downtown Biloxi and Harrah's are a 15-minute drive.
Getting There
Right off I-10 at Exit 50, this Spark by Hilton sits on Lamar Poole Road, easy on and off for anyone running the interstate between Mobile and Gulfport. Ocean Springs Beach is a five-mile drive, and downtown Biloxi's casino strip, including Harrah's Casino Gulf Coast, is about 15 minutes south. Keesler Air Force Base sits in that same 15-minute radius, which makes this a practical base for visiting family stationed there. Waffle House and PJ's Coffee are both a two-minute walk, handy if you roll in hungry after a long stretch of driving.
Rooms & Amenities
Rooms are straightforward midscale Hilton — mini-fridge, microwave, in-room safe, free WiFi — nothing fancy, but everything works, and pet owners get real pet-friendly rooms rather than a token exception buried in the fine print. A full renovation finished in February 2025, so the rooms you book now aren't the ones earlier reviewers complained about. Breakfast is the actual draw: free hot breakfast built around a build-your-own bagel bar, with enough spread and topping options that regular guests call it out by name in reviews, one wishing only for more protein alongside the bagels. There's an outdoor pool, a fitness center, and free self parking — worth noting on a stretch of highway where some competitors still charge for a spot.
What's Nearby
The immediate area around Exit 50 is fast-food-and-fill-up territory — Waffle House, Denny's, Wendy's, and PJ's Coffee are all within a couple minutes of the parking lot, useful for an early checkout morning. For a real meal, drive three miles to the Promenade shopping district, which has a wider mix of restaurants and stores. The Walter Anderson Museum of Art, worth the stop for anyone curious about the Gulf Coast's best-known regional painter, is 3.6 miles away in downtown Ocean Springs. Golfers can head to Gulf Hills Golf Club, about 3 miles out, and Gulf Islands Water Park is roughly 2 miles south if you're traveling with kids who need to burn off car time.
Our Take
Book this one for the price and the location, not a memorable stay — a reliable highway hotel that puts you close to Ocean Springs and a short drive from the casinos, with a bagel bar breakfast that's genuinely better than the price point suggests. Skip it if you want to walk to the beach or the casino floor; you'll be in the car either way. Some guests have flagged a musty smell in a few rooms even after the 2025 renovation, so ask for a freshly serviced room at check-in if that's a dealbreaker.
