    Rooms are small, I am a big guy and for my wife and I to have a queen bed is a little tight.

    Location, right in the middle of downtown and all of the different things you can do.

    Overall good value
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Queen Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Some of the rooms seem to be out of reach of a strong or consistent wifi connection. My first room had intermittent and very slow connectivity. To the staff's credit, when I told them about this, they took it seriously and tried to address the problem. When that didn't work, they switched me to a new room, where it worked well. So I appreciate that, but beware of this if you need a good connection for work, etc. The heavy gated door to one of the stairwells closes VERY loudly, and if your room is anywhere in the vicinity, it can be startling or even disturb your sleep.

    Location is good, right in the heart of downtown (such as it is) Spokane. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was basically clean, although had a musty smell and some signs of not-thorough cleaning (a clump of hair near the shower drain, for instance). Pretty good included breakfast options.

    You can hear everything outside of your room and in the rooms next to you. This is most likely the reason earplugs are provide in the room. The breakfast next door in the morning is very good and you do get a free beer or wine in the lounge if they are open

    Great location, clean and comfortable room with a great shower.

    Room was clean & functional, but rather small. Included a discounted breakfast for two at an affiliate restaurant which was good - but did NOT include coffee. Tight quarters all around the motel itself.

    elevator did not go to the top of the 2nd floor so had to get heavy luggage up 4-5 steep stairs. Limited parking onsite but has another parking location.

    Had a problem with housekeeping. I didn't realize we had to ask for housekeeping. I asked in the morning and then we went out and came back at 4 and it hadn't been done. Kind of disappointing. The other thing was that someone could have vacuumed the carpeting outside.

    The room and decor were very nice. Very hip. I liked the Sapphire Lounge too. Check in and out was easy. Staff was cool. Location was pretty good and having Rosie's next store was fantastic. Really liked getting the breakfast partially covered. I liked the gated entrances so that people couldn't just walk around by the rooms without legitimate access. I also liked that you had a nice little smoking area, too.

    Nothing - no problems!

    The room was large and the bed was comfy. The front desk staff were welcoming and helpful. I was able to nab a parking spot in the lot right in the courtyard of the hotel which was great - for only $5. They give you a breakfast voucher for the restaurant next door. The hotel is close to many restaurants and is within walking distance of Riverside Park.

    The old hotel smell and the noise outside which lasted pretty late into the night

    The location was a bit loud because of its proximity to near by bars and the random transient shouting in the middle of the night lol. The room had a funny smell upon arrival. The toilet wouldn't flush on command and the vent in the bathroom wouldn't stay on. The breakfast at Rosie's was great!
