If you know Spokane, you know what you're getting into with the location of this spot. We liked the price and were fine knowing what the homeless population and train noise would be like. Was surprised we booked a full bed, but that was honestly on us - just was not the most comfortable thing. Pillows were pretty crappy but it was okay. Bathroom was nice and tv had lots of channels. They have an elevator to get up and down the floors and to the underground parking. Parking was SUPER full when we came back one night and we almost didn't get a spot....would have been a bit frustrating since we paid for parking (it was the Friday night before Bloomsday). Front office & staff were super kind and accommodating. We did not use our breakfast vouchers at Rosies as it was Bloomsday weekend and other reviews had mentioned the crazy wait time on just normal days. Overall was a 4/5 and much better than expected! The reviews I read right before we checked in scared me but we had no issues with bed bugs, uncleanliness, and the trains are honestly not that bad - good background noise to fall asleep to.

Neat little historic hotel. Pretty rad little drive inn theater style parking lot that plays old school Hannah Barbara cartoons. Very accommodating with food at Rosie’s right next door with free meals or heavy discounts. Would absolutely stay again.
