Solid choice
The climate control unit had a very noticeable rattle, which was disappointing. Other than that, no real complaints. Decent room for a decent price. Nothing crazy good or crazy bad!

Property is much more dated than it looks. Heating system is very noisy and there are trains that run all night. Pillows are terrible. Included breakfast was not on site and you only received a coupon for one person per day. It was a block away, it was good but as a couple used both coupons and went elsewhere on our second day. No body working the front desk at night so if you needed anything have to wait til morning. During the day the desk clerk was great, very pleasant. Room and bathroom was clean. Very basic room.

Sooooo noisy
Did not sleep at all. The downtown train tracks go right along the building. Even with white noise and ear plugs, impossible to sleep through trains going by every 5-10 minutes. Friendly service and good location but never never again.

Nice renovation of older building. Comfortable bed and nice quality bedding and towels. Was expecting this part of Spokane to have more homeless problem and was pleasantly surprised that it was not so. Not much garbage in area either. Spokane, please tell Seattle and Portland how to do it better?

Good place in a pinch.
I was in town for a family emergency. Was not even sure how long I would need to stay. They were perfect. The ladies at the desk were understanding and awesome. Made the parking good (which is always a mess, I am from Seattle). Thank you for your help.

We originally were only going to stay two nights but we were having a lovely time and wanted to stay another night. We were told that we couldn’t stay in the same room but we could book a king since there was one available. After booking the next night using Expedia I asked if we could get into that room early, the front desk gentleman was super accommodating and let us in, checked out of our old room and into our new one despite it being late. The next day I got a call from the hotel at about 1pm in the afternoon saying check in wasn’t complete so we sped back to the hotel and we were greeted with the most rude staff that was rolling her eyes making us feel so unwelcome.She was very quick to blame other employees and us for Not answering the room phone, we had to stop and explain her attitude is with the wrong people because we definitely aren’t trying to inconvenience anyone then the attitude slowly subsided but we are not as impressed with this stay as previous stays. Will definitely consider other hotels next time. Also we feel we over charged for waters from the front desk and or charged for late checkout without our knowledge as we only got back $30 from our safety deposit and another $25 from the other reservation

Hotel and room were clean. I’d recommend it for the price point. There are trains that run through downtown so if you’re a light sleeper you might need the supplied ear plugs.
