Small, but very clean and comfortable. The only thing that brings the rating down is how close the train tracks are and how frequently the trains run during the night.

Yes, as is occurring in many urban areas, the transient population exists, but know we have security for both our guests and staff members and we haven’t been faced with anything serious. We do understand and respect your concern but know your comfort and safety is our goal. We do look forward to having you back and know we appreciate your feedback. Wishing you well!

Female concierge was on her phone and i must have inconvenienced her by my presence and need to check in; because she was short and rude in response to any and all questions I had. Wont recommend and definitely won’t be back. Room is cheap. Shower is dirty (no bath) Should have paid less for more at a super 8 or 6.

Dear Brandon, thank you for taking the time to let us know how we did. I am so sorry we didn't make you feel welcome or valued. Please know I will address your comments with the agent on duty. Yes, our rooms are priced very competitively, especially given our convenient location to so much to do downtown. Regarding the condition of the room, our cleanliness is a priority so I see very few concerns about our rooms but again, I will address with the staff your comment about the shower. Yes, your room type does not have a shower which is indicated in our description. In the future, should you decide to allow us to earn your business back please know you can reach out to the Front Desk for any needs or concerns. I’m sorry we let you down as you must know that was not our intention. Wishing you well and thanks again for your candor.

The train tracks are so close to the hotel you can feel the trains go by. With that being said they do provide earplugs and u was surprised they only woke me up a couple of times during the night

Dear Katherine, thank you for sharing your experience. I am very sorry we let you down. I do see that we refunded your stay in full given you checked in and checked out shortly thereafter. Our Front Desk is required to document any guest concerns but unfortunately, I don't see any comments regarding your stay. I am very sorry this was your experience as you must know this was not our intention. Thanks for your candor as it is guests such as yourself that help us be better. I will investigate and address the room you were assigned to internally. Thanks again. Wishing you well.

I always like to stay here when I'm in Spokane. Rates are good. Staff is friendly and helpful. Parking is easy, and there's an elevator. The bed is comfortable, and bathroom is nicely updated. A train goes by, which might bother some people, so they even provide earplugs. I just turn on the fan, which muffles the sound nicely.

Dear Mark, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. Most of all, thank you for recognizing our team as we work very hard to ensure our guests feel comfortable and accommodated. Regarding the bed, I am so sorry for your back pain! I will be sure to look into the quality of the mattress in the room you stayed in. We keep an annual grading sheet for all rooms and there are no rooms below a "B" grade, but I will be sure to inspect as we all have different expectations regarding a hotel bed as they certainly aren't our own beds we enjoy in our homes. I do hope you are feeling better. In the future, please reach out to the Hotel Front Desk so we can address your concerns where we can. Thanks again for sharing and know we look forward to having you back!

While the room was fine, it is a stones throw away from the train tracks. We were shocked when the first train passed at how loud it was in the room. The train goes by often, the hotel provides ear plugs in the room, which are necessary. They helped a lot. But the train isn’t the only noise issue, the walls are very thin and if you have loud neighbors next door, you will hear them. Everything else about the hotel is fine, but the noise was a big issue.

Dear Erica, we are so pleased you enjoyed and appreciated our location. We are so central to so much to do downtown and we are thankful you recognized the same. I do apologize for the the overpowering smell as I know our cleanliness is so important that I wonder if we just over did it with the cleaners. In any case, thank you for staying with us and we look forward to having you back.

The staff was friendly. The rooms were clean and had all the necessary equipment—heater/A/C, microwave, small refrigerator with a separate freezer, coffeemaker with coffee pods, shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner, Kleenex included in the bathroom, an extra blanket. Those little extras make a trip more comfortable. Thanks for a safe and comfortable place to stay!

Dear Christina, Thank you for letting us know about your stay. Yes, we are near the train and the sound isn't for everyone - we understand. I wanted you to know I did send a message to the Housekeeping Manager regarding your issue with the comforter. In the future, please call the Front Desk for assistance. We could have brought you a different comforter as you must know it was not our intention to provide dirty linen. I am sorry for the issue. Wishing you well.
