The hotel was a funky boutique style hotel that was very walkable to some cool sights like the river walk as well as cool eateries. One of the best included breakfasts I’ve had from a hotel. We’ll definitely return.

There's a fun and funky city vibe. The room was clean and there were some nice art features on the property and in the room. You're definitely in the heart of downtown Spokane, that in itself is a bit grimey and seemingly unsafe. We really appreciated the secure parking!

This property is in the art district, so when shows or music is happening, it’s in great demand. Convenient to other attractions and the freeway. Rooms are small, but efficient. It says hotel, but technically it’s a motel as the doors to the rooms are outside. Definitely well worth the cost. Would stay again

Pleasantly surprised. It’s not your typical outside entry motel. Much nicer inside than it appears. Breakfast is easy and they have mochas/lattes and a GF menu and options. Also bloody Mary’s and mimosas. Right next to the Fox theater, and felt safe walking back with the big crowd leaving the venue
