“Great location and price! Central if you're staying downtown for something... Easy walk to lots of bars and food! Jade at the front desk was very helpful and efficient! Trains were a bit of a surprise but once the first one went past easily ignored.”

“Nothing fancy, but totally adequate. Desk staff very friendly (is everyone in Spokane this super nice?). Rooms are basic but comfy, my mattress was high quality. The exposed bed frame caught me out a couple times and I bashed the heck out of one of my toes- otherwise I would have given 5s all across. Location was walkable to everything I wanted to visit downtown. Overall a great value for the money.”

“Located in Spokane’s Steam Plant District, this hotel is in a great spot—everything is walkable, or you can grab a scooter like we did for a little extra fun. The hotel itself is cute, with smaller rooms, nice showers, and a cozy feel. A big perk is the free breakfast at Ruby’s Café right across the street—definitely a step up from the usual continental setup. The vibe is what makes it stand out. They play silent old cartoons and movies on the parking lot wall like a mini drive-in, which is such a unique touch. Plus, you’ll never get lost at night—just follow the glowing Steam Plant towers. It’s a steal for the price if you’re not planning to spend most of your time in the room. A couple blocks over, you’ll find high-end shopping, a 24-hour Mexican spot, and plenty of other dining options.”

“It was a fine motel. Nothing special, but it is down town and the rooms were clean. It has been renovated, but the renovations were mostly paint. If you are looking for a well priced place to sleep downtown and walking distance to everything I would go for it.”
