La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Spokane Downtown - Spokane, Washington

For the location and the price, I am really impressed with the quality of this hotel. The main lobby is locked for safety, but your key gets you in and out with ease. The lobby consists of a very clean and cute seating area, a business center, a little convenience store for snacks & the basics you may have forgotten, and a very well stocked breakfast area. The staff is incredible. Branden, the front desk agent is personable, kind and very helpful. His bright personality really started our day off well. The gal who was taking care of breakfast was working quickly to keep everything stocked and was consistently cleaning. The beds were comfortable and the amenities in the room consisted of a fridge, microwave and coffee. The shower was huge and the soaps they provide are all dove.

Very classy hotel with an excellent central location next to all the places you'd want to go in Spokane. Enjoyed a week-long stay while recovering from a surgery at one of the nearby hospitals and it was definitely the right choice. Yes, there may be homeless people nearby since it's also close to a few charities and kind businesses that don't run them out, but I consider that a good sign for the humanity of a community towards victims of our insane housing and rental crisis. If you're upset by seeing poor people living on the sidewalk, blame greedy landlords jacking up the rent in illegal price-fixing schemes, not the victims dealing with the mental health consequences of living on the literal sidewalk day and night the best they can. How would you react to that situation after a few months or years?

They were all chill people to me and all I needed to do to ensure my and my beautiful partner's safety while walking around Spokane every day was smile at people, give them respectful nods, and wish them a good day, just like you would anyone else. If someone asked me for something I didn't have to give, I simply apologized that I couldn't help them with what they needed and wished them the best of luck.

Anyway, onto my only gripes with the hotel:

1. We checked in on April Fools, so our air conditioner in the room would only blow enough cool air when the temperature was set to heat and the fan was on low. To make this even better (sarcastic), it was slightly cool outside so they blasted the heat to bake the halls inside, and the windows are sealed completely shut, which meant that even though it was a lovely cool spring, we had to have the A/C running constantly to make the room a sleepable temperature to fight the heat they were for some reason running constantly. An excellent use of energy and money from the hotel in a time of limited resources, am I right? (also sarcastic).

2. The breakfast was excellent and varied with healthy options available.... If you woke up at the crack of dawn and arrived at the breakfast no later than 6:15AM. Otherwise you would be out of luck.

For a large four story hotel that was mostly full the entire time I was there by hungry and huge families, ravenous college sports teams, and beefy construction crews among other normal people fueling up for their day: They boiled Exactly twelve eggs, cooked Maybe four small portions of oatmeal, and put out At Best six non-vanilla yogurts per morning. These were completely gone by 6:20am and not replenished throughout the next 2 hours and 40 minutes of breakfast despite a dedicated employee in the kitchen next to the breakfast area and me paying over a thousand two-hundred dollars to stay there for a week and others paying over a hundred dollars a night.

I think they could afford a few more servings of plain oats and boiled eggs since they clearly have the money and manpower to do so. If they are that strapped for cash, may I suggest not turning the hallways up to a temperature that could roast a small chicken and letting people at least crack the windows to get some cool spring air at night so every single room doesn't have to blast their A/C constantly.

If you think I'm being petty because they do replenish the scrambled eggs and the hot protein pretty regularly during the morning: I am lactose intolerant and their scrambled eggs are loaded with milk and melted cheese, therefore utterly inedible to one such as I. It's nice that they're making fancy fluffy eggs for other people, but if you are going to put a very common allergen in your scrambled eggs you should at least have the decency to make sure there are boiled eggs available for your lactose intolerant guests. Also, the meat alternated between sausage -- which was pretty good -- and slices of warm ham that was so low quality as to be utterly inedible. Without the oats and boiled eggs, there were no real protein or carbs not loaded with dairy or sugar.

The location is close to the freeway, but not so close that you hear it. It's within minutes of a ton of stuff. The only downside is that because it's downtown, there are quite a few homeless people wandering around nearby. We saw some drug addicts getting high at the gas station next door, but that issue is not the hotels fault. Plus, they had 24-hour security driving through there. So even at night, I felt totally safe walking to and from the car. Also, after hours, you have to have your hotel key in order to get in the front doors.. so that made it feel safe also.

An easy check in, a comfortable, clean and welcoming room, and a hot shower, provided me the opportunity to relax and get prepared for the stressful medical procedure I had scheduled the next morning. The experience and ambiance of the evening removed my anxiety and allowed me to relax, get a good nights sleep and be at the hospital at the scheduled time in a positive, confident mindset. I am grateful I found such a soothing place for the night.

Stayed here for over week on an out of town work trip. Staff 5 ⭐! The best things about this place. Is the people working it. Rooms are exactly what you should expect. Clean with most comforts. All due respect. The city of Spokane and the state of Washington. Need new leaders. The surrounding area is ridiculous to put it nicely.

There’s dog treats/food still in the room, along with a small toy, makes me think that house keepers don’t pay attention too much to small details like that. There was also long blonde hair stuck to the shower wall that was left from the last people, very gross. It’s very calm here, nothing that upset me in my sleep, the location is fine, we’re just staying here for the weekend but I’d still expect more

Positive: "" Negative: The There was dust and crumbs and dirt on the carpet in the corners and along the wall. The hotel is sandwiched between two gas station/convenient stores that are gathering grounds for transient people who openly use drugs. Not walkable at all.

First, with respect to a prior one star review, there were blinds on our windows, but there are both a sheer and a blackout blind and perhaps the person who did the review didn't see the modern control as it's a bit hidden at the top of the window.
The hotel is lovely and well-kept with an inviting and bright lobby. Our room was large and comfortable, and everything clean. The lamps could be brighter; the desk/counter area is quite dim.
The floor plan is a bit odd as there is half a flight of stairs on one wing, which makes that area inaccessible from the lobby if stairs are difficult or you want to use a luggage cart.
The parking is gated and I hope there are video cameras, but that area of Spokane doesn't feel very safe anymore as there are quite a few people without homes wandering the streets. Otherwise, I would have given a 5 star rating. We didn't have any problems but felt uncomfortable leaving our car, and locals advised us to be sure to leave NOTHING in the car. It's a shame as it's very convenient to the freeway and not the hotel's fault that the neighborhood has gone downhill.
The only other comment is that the breakfast, which is otherwise good, has no toast or bagels or any bread-stuff. There are waffles which I can't eat due to a soy allergy.
