Pet friendly hotel next to train tracks
The room and staff were both really good. Very pet friendly! It would have been nice to know that the hotel is located right next to train tracks and the train runs almost constantly.

Good value
This isn’t a fancy place, but for the price it’s a good value. The rooms are clean, beds are decent, staff are super friendly and the room comes with free breakfast. I have stayed here multiple times on quick trips and it’s always been a pleasant stay.

Great place in Spokane
It seemed they stayed open for me and waited for me to check in which was about 2 hours after the lobby closed. I hadn't been aware that it closed at 11:00 and our flight was delayed and they were still open so I'm thinking he was waiting for me because he left right after. How great is that?! The included breakfast at the restaurant was fantastic!!!

Moving to North Dakota
Decent stay but the walkway up is a bit steep if you park in overflow parking. Check in/out staff was awesome, but our bathroom towells had not been cleaned so we couldn't shower. There is a train track next door, but we barely heard it at night.

Nice local hotel in the heart of downtown.
This was a nice hotel in the heart of downtown. The front desk was cordial, and the room was very nice with a comfortable bed. Overall most things in the room were very clean, but a couple things (like the base of a floor lamp) had noticeable dust. Also, they had a mini coffee maker in the room, but the Keurig pods they provided didn’t fit this type of coffee maker, so…? They did have a room with coffee urns by the front office. You get a voucher for breakfast at a place a block or two away, which is nice.

Service at check in & out was great. Free breakfast is misrepresented when booking. It is for 1 person only per room and you only get to choose from a couple different items or save $6.

Close to downtown
The location of this hotel is good. Its close to everything. We enjoyed a lovely walk to the spokane falls during one of the most beautiful sunsets ive ever seen.
The hotel is very old but everything has been redone in a very creative way. Cool artwork everywhere.
