The hotel is great. The staff is great. Everything is clean and well maintained in the rooms, hotel, and grounds. There is an unbelievably beautiful and peaceful riverwalk behind the hotel. But... if you get much more than a block away from the hotel, things go downhill. Thankfully, the hotel keeps anything from becoming a problem on their property.

The hotel is great - clean, well maintained, and with a friendly and efficient staff. The grounds are immaculate, and there is a beautiful, peaceful riverwalk behind the hotel. The only issue is that the city of Spokane has some very obvious problems that they need to address. These make going more than a block or so away from the hotel interesting, and not in a good way. But there are no issues at the hotel or on the grounds, so your stay is pretty worry free. If you need a place to lay your head in Spokane, Ruby River Hotel is a pretty good choice.
