Regular visitor. Love the hotel short of the outrageous prices . . . can no longer afford to stay in the preferable months. However, our suite was uncomfortably cold. The thermostat would only hold my set temperature for an hour, than revert back to a ridiculous setting for the time of year. Had to keep getting up or out of bed on the hour to reset. There were no blankets in the room. Otherwise, my favorite stay for decades.

Wish a bigger continental breakfast included rather than just a coffee bar. Was just in Spokane at Airport Hilton and included breakfast was amazing. That said we had a fire across the street, power outage for a bit, and the staff was wonderful and accommodating! We will be back to stay more often soon!

I was awakened at 540 am by garbage trucks lifting and dropping large dumpsters about 50 yards from my window in the adjacent property. It went n for 10 minutes, and it left me unable to get back to dleep. Although the hotel probably has no control over this, the main purpose of my stay was to be able to sleep before an appointment in the morning, and since this apparently happens every week, I rank this hotel as poor because you can’t sleep there without being jarred awake on a Friday nor morning.
The offending dumpsters.
