Centennial Hotel Spokane

8/10 Good

"The comforter on one of the beds was stained ... On entry we noticed the ceiling light did not work. Called and spoke with Ahmed who was going to report it to engineers. It was never fixed. Not sure if it was bulb or the switch itself ... Right side of bathroom countertop had many little dark stains that looked like makeup or paint. It did not wipe off, but it did scratch off with a spoon and some effort. Also, we really liked that east wing, but at night it was very dark in that parking lot. Creepy! Outside that east tower entry are two trashcans that were full to overflowing during our entire stay. Smelly! My daughter and I were very comfortable in the room and loved the view. We got to see the eclipse from our balcony and it was amazing. We will stay here again and will recommend this establishment to our friends. I just hope that these little hiccups can be better attended to."

Ruby River Hotel Downtown Spokane

10/10 Excellent

"What a wonderful property we chanced upon! Everyone so very kind and helpful, very nice facility. Even the city side rooms were well off the street, so it was quiet the whole 4 days we were there. Design was spot on, location just minutes from most places we wanted to go. Loved the infinity pool and hot tub, very nice to have a choice of pools! Would stay here again in a heartbeat, highly recommended for families ♥️ Thank you 🙏"
