ASHLEY, Spokane

Traveled with partner, Traveled with pets
Disliked: Amenities
They get a 1 star because there was no bathroom door. For a room that is over $300/night (with pet fee), to have no bathroom door is beyond ridiculous. When my husband went downstairs to use the lobby bathroom in the morning, there were a line of men doing the same thing. They need to advertise no bathroom doors so anyone that would like privacy chooses another option. The room fixtures were nice, but the room was a bit small.

As soon as we walked in we got allergies, most likely pets had stayed in that room. The bed was uncomfortable couldn’t sleep and when the air conditioning started, it sounded like if a helicopter was flying overhead. Very disappointed that parking was a extra fee. Wouldn’t stay here again.
