ASHLEY, Spokane

Traveled with partner, Traveled with pets
Disliked: Amenities
They get a 1 star because there was no bathroom door. For a room that is over $300/night (with pet fee), to have no bathroom door is beyond ridiculous. When my husband went downstairs to use the lobby bathroom in the morning, there were a line of men doing the same thing. They need to advertise no bathroom doors so anyone that would like privacy chooses another option. The room fixtures were nice, but the room was a bit small.
