This is an old but very thoroughly and impressively updated and well run motel located half a block from the most high end hotel in Spokane. The location is convenient, the center of downtown, but there are issues with traffic noise and a little of an edgy urban ambience on nearby streets after dark. I felt safe and secure in my comforable and clean room. The bathroom was modern and clean, the bed and bedding were nice and the carpet seemed new. I appeciated that the room was free of odors, which are sometimes evident in older properties. I really enjoyed my free guest privileges at the nice gym, located at a sister property less than a block away Best of all the front desk staff were helpful, welcoming , cheerful and professional throughout my 2 day stay, as were the staff at the adjoining lounge.
