We stayed at this property for 3 nights, when we arrived check in was quick. We were on the 3rd floor closer to the train tracks. Our room was overall clean, the vent in the bathroom does need cleaning as it was thick of dust so barely any airflow. There is a train that goes by but we were out most of the day and we both slept fine. It might be an issue if you are a light sleeper. They do not clean room daily so if you run out of anything you will need to contact the front desk. The area is close to parks, shops, great restaurants all within walking distance. There are homeless people around but they kept to themselves, didn’t feel uncomfortable and actually bought a young man breakfast, most of the homeless are just hungry. This may be an issue for some people but it wasn’t for us, homelessness happens everywhere! The breakfast is subpar at best. The first day we went and there were no breakfast sandwiches, a couple of muffins, a few yogurts and a couple cereal bowls. There were no spoons, so I had to go ask the front desk. The next morning, there was no milk, my hubby asked and they had apparently run out. The third day we got our own breakfast off property. Overall it wasn’t bad for the price, it served us well on our little get away.

Next to train tracks. Although, there is no whistling noise, you can hear the ‘rumbling’ when it passed by. The shower clogged after 5 secs. Everything else was good.

Noisy
Noise from the train and homeless people under the bridge were an issue. The first night some homeless person was screaming under the bridge next to the hotel for at least an hour to an hour and a half. Very annoying. The location is good proximity to downtown Spokane but the train runs all night and the homeless people who stay under the bridge caused an issue. They do provide ear plugs but for the price I paid I would stay somewhere else next time.

The worst place ever encountered!
I did not even get out of the car on the side road because there were druggies everywhere!!!! Trank druggies draped over things and literally PILES of drugged out people laying on the sidewalks. I called the hotel from the road and told them I was NOT going in and to cancel the reservation. He said in a nasty tone, that he could not cancel it and it was my fault for not knowing that the city of Spokane had descended into drug induced horror. They have charged my credit card for the night that I did not use and would never come to Spokane again for anything! Then at a stop before finding another hotel my purse was stolen.
