We love that it is so close to the River walk and restaurants. Lots of historic charm to this area. You really have to like funky and vintage to totally enjoy the stay. Great lounge attached to the hotel. Very simple but clean rooms. Parking is limited at the hotel, they have overflow close, and they add a $5 parking fee upon check in. I wish they just included it in the price upfront. Nice restaurant next door for breakfast. A positive stay overall. Good value.

The secure nighttime parking made me feel good about my overnight motorcycle safety. I thought the proximity of the rail line might wake me frequently but the provided earplugs solved that problem. The actual rail sound was fairly muted to begin with. The breakfast provided next door was good although having to pay for coffee was odd. I guess you're supposed to get coffee from the hotel lobby or the mediocre stuff from the 1 cup machine in your room.

The front desk staff was very nice. The housekeeping was sub-par. I don't believe that the room had been swept or mopped for a while. The bathtub had debris on it (I don't know what it was). The outside maintenance was lacking, the carpet on the hallways and stairs were falling apart. There are not many choices for dining. The area is extremely noisy.

Old, dirty and stinks of of cigarette smoke!

Worst hotel I have stayed! The room was incredibly dirty and old. The non-smoking room reeked of stale cigarette smoke. Let the front desk know at check out and she couldn't care less. Only good point of my stay was Jade who checked us in. They were kind and helpful.

Great location. Could walk everywhere downtown. Nice to get discounts at certain restaurants and bars. Super friendly staff. Jade was great! Not thrilled with being able to hear the older water pipes howl when they were in use in other rooms.

Our room was nice. It was newly remodeled. Very clean, bathroom had 2 sinks and lots of counter space. Our friends stayed in a different room and theirs had not been redone. Their bathroom was very small with no counter space (one sink) One downside -- We were there 4 nights and they never came in to clean the room. No fresh towels or additional coffee. (We found the cleaning lady to get some more coffee.) We loved the resturant next door that had our free breakfast. It was nice that you could pick from 3 different breakfast items or get $6.00 off anything else. It is very walkable area. So close to the riverwalk. We will stay here again if back in Spokan.
