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!

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

We loved this hotel but on the app it looks like it was a lot more remodeled than it actually was. It’s a motel which we knew that is needing things for sure. The wonderful thing is that they provide a breakfast at Rosie‘s next-door. It’s not free, but it gives you a huge discount. About a block away from the knitting factory, too, which is wonderful.

I only stayed here one hour. After realizing that my adjoining room door did not have a lock. That the room smelled like urine. Very, very noisy. And the neighbors in the room next to me were smoking something not pot or cigarettes. Definitely something else. I also have someone attempt to get into my room while I was in there. I did voice my concerns to the front office staff. And honestly, I don’t feel like I should be charged for the first night. Very disappointed I will never recommend this hotel to anyone. And the bummer of the deal is that my grandfather built this hotel so I was looking forward to a kind of nostalgic stay and was very disappointed.
