Doubletree by Hilton Hotel Spokane City Center

This Doubletree was nice about 5 years ago. Nowadays, it feels pretty crusty and in need of some TLC. The lobby area is very strangely set-​up, and the COOKIES — the best part of a Doubletree stay — were stale and hard. I ate a bite & threw it away. Very unlike me, as I used to have a serious addiction to these cookies.
I stayed in a King room — it was spacious, but the bathroom was tiny and awkward. Housekeeping tried to come in early morning before I was checked out, which always freaks me out. Wifi is free for Hilton Honors members, or $ 12 per day otherwise.
Location is great if you’re going to the convention center, but with the big fancy Davenport Grand across the street, the DB has some serious competition (though DB is at least $ 50 cheaper per night). Totally OK if you just need a decent place to crash, but frills are lacking.

2 stars because of the restaurant and location. Otherwise, this is not a win and pales even in the comparison to most lower-​end hotels like the Hampton Inn. The $ 20 coupon off the restaurant (Spencer’s, which is quite good for the record) was a nice touch. To start with there was no help with bags despite the place being empty and staff seemed uninterested in even greeting us, but were talking amongst themselves. I had one of the valets thank me profusely for returning the luggage cart which was odd, as it would have been nicer if they had offered to help with my bags… but whatever, I am not above moving my stuff. The room is where the issues were. Hallways kind of nice-​isa but the rooms were outdated, smelled faintly musty, and the bed sunken a bit. Wall paper was peeling and bathroom was dirty… worst of all was the curious stain on the chair in the room. Not sure the source, but I really don’t want to know… it was certainly very unsightly and unsanitary. My father would have raised holy hell to get the room comped, but I simply avoided said chair and vowed to miss this unfortunate hotel in the future. To be fair, room rate was quite low– perhaps low rates are associated with crap rooms like rent-​controlled apartments in Manhattan? Don’t know, but I wouldn’t take a risk spending more money on a better room given what I have seen.

Bathrooms are outdated and they are never clean. I’ve stayed here 4 times, but this is the last time. Each time I’ve stayed, the bathroom was questionable, but today there was a bunch of gunk, old make-​up residue and finger nail clippings! Sick! Now I know they aren’t being clean appropriately.
The people at the front desk of this «full service hotel» have not been trained to make you feel welcome. They don’t greet you and ask how they can help you when you walk up. They just stare at you until you explain that you would like to check in or whatever your request is. I called down to the front desk to ask a question and she answered «no» before I even finished the question! Not interested in helping guests.
There are a few nice things about the Double Tree. The steak house, Spencer’s and breakfast place downstairs both have great food and super accomodating staff.
The cable package has preferred channels and a guide on the t.v. The beds are comfy and bedding is always clean.
Free Newsweek paper.
Great location, centrally located, walkable to downtown and riverfront.
I recommend the Davenport Hotel a few blocks away, the people there take great care of you and the rooms are beautiful.

Great location and very reasonable room rates for location in Gonzaga complex. Restaurant, Spencers, was superb. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Great proximity to airport and downtown. You can also just walk the river and enjoy local restaurants and shopping from this location.

Absolutely disgusting bathroom and the bedroom area must have had animals in here because it smelled like wet dog.
The bathroom looks like it hadn’t been cleaned ever the dirt in between the tiles are disgusting. The shower head has rust. It’s not a very hygienic hotel. Honestly find somewhere else !

I have stayed here numerous times and I love it! Love the location, love the service from the staff, love the cookie on arrival. Beds are always comfortable and the rooms are always clean. I always wake up early and walk/​job by the river. It’s a Doubletree. You cannot go wrong.

The room was very nice but beware of the continental breakfast! It is not free. $ 15 for an English muffin and half a scoop of breakfast potatoes. I sat down thinking it was included and by the time I finished my meager meal, a server who did no more than fill my water, slapped me with a bill for $ 15. $ 150 for a night and you’re going to charge for the continental breakfast?! Ridiculous.

Comfy beds and amazing pillows. Staff is a bit rude and cold. They always seem put out with questions. Pool is mediocre. It’s like a hotel that they kept adding onto that’s attached to the conversation center so basically a «cluster fuck» of parking and weird corridors. Pet friendly BUT they other have a narrow piece of grass put front for your furry friends. Walk a couple blocks down to the park to let them play. For the price, stay across the street or down the street at Best Western, Holiday or Red Lions. Save the headache of dealing with all of the convention center drama. Those hotels are still close to down town and just as good. This one I would not recommend

The service is great here but the place needs some major updating everything seems really old. It’s very close to everything. It’s also a great place to run in the morning.

I won a raffle and one of the prizes was a free night at the Doubletree Hotel. It is located on Spokane Fall Blvd right down the street from great restaurants and Riverfront Park. The hotel itself is really nothing to look at but the location is nice. The hotel staff is accommodating and the rooms are clean. Our room had a good size TV in it and a full mini fridge stocked with alcohol and snacks. The biggest thing I remember is their freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. I’ve never had such a good cookie in my life. I’d go back just for the cookies. Attached to the Doubletree is Spencer’s Steak House and its a pretty darn good restaurant.

This hulking relic of the late 1980s glistens in downtown Spokane like an out of date brooch festooned in faded rhinestones.
As with all Hilton Doubletrees there are some congenial perks. cookies on arrival, a candy bar for HHonors members, etc… And the well trained staff is at times effusive but always out going and bright.
And the property has dining, a dated steakhouse (Spencers) serving slightly above average fare and a just above cafeteria grade café called Shutters and after seeing the décor, shutter i did.
The property is clean but it’s apparent that upgrades were made over the years… and yet it’s left a patchwork quilt of incongruous textures and «styles» that would be profane to even the freshman designer. The toilets are tiny, because if they were normal sized, the door would hit them
Even in the guest bathrooms, tile from different eras compete with wallpaper that now looks like it was applied with Mod Podge. And the hallways are octopussian in design, strange and disorienting.
Insultingly, they charge $ 12 for parking in a far away and slightly scary garage. The competing Marriott next door has plentiful free parking.
Look they are trying hard and there is pride here. But ultimateły this property can’t escape itself, and Is left sentenced to a life of fading irrelevancy, only buoyed by the fact it’s an appendage to the Spokane Convention Center.

Business trip success is often determined by the comfort and quality of the hotel you choose (or luck into). Luckily for me, some local contacts recommended the Doubletree at the Spokane Convention Center for a recent quick trip of meetings in Spokane. The hotel was clean, comfortable, convenient, and within budget … four good reasons for the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel Spokane City Center to be four stars
The hotel is right along the Spokane Riverfront in downtown Spokane … so you are literally in the heart of Spokane.
* Self parking is in the garage for $ 12; Valet is an option.
* Complimentary shuttle to/​from the Airport
* Fitness Center equipment was ok … just ok
* Chocolate Chip Cookie on check-​in!
* WiFi was free and worked fine
* Spencer’s for Steaks & Chops was busy for Happy Hour
* The king bed and pillows were actually comfortable
All in all, the Doubletree Hotel totally met my needs for a successful business trip to Spokane, WA.

My stay here recently was a real mixed bag, so I’m really not sure how many stars to give out. Some things were a 2, some a 3, and some a 5, like the Spencer’s Happy Hour and service.
I originally had a 9-​night reservation and was looking forward to getting to know Spokane better. I knew it was likely to be noisier in this hotel and there were some parking issues to navigate, but I really wanted to try some of the restaurants & shopping and visit the park in downtown, because last year on all of my trips to this area I had stayed out in Spokane Valley.
The 2-​star items were the slightly grungy and moldy bathroom, a member of the housekeeping staff who was going to come right on in my room in spite of the Do Not Disturb sign being on the door, and the odd breakfast service. I tried the morning buffet twice, using my free continental breakfast ticket and paying the 5 bucks to upgrade to the hot buffet. One of the servers was so nervous and jumpy she really was off-​putting. For example, one morning I was seated and ordered my coffee, and then as I got up to go to the buffet, she suddenly appeared behind me and said, «Oh! Are you leaving me already?!?» Startled me a little and I said, «No, just hitting the buffet.» Isn’t that what it’s there for? Just odd.
The gals working the Starbucks counter were a little more laid back and professional and I patronized that the rest of my stay.
I also had an interaction with the front desk that was in the 2-​star range. One morning I woke up and heard what I thought was my neighbor’s alarm clock going off and called down to see if they could check on it. When the woman answered the phone she was mid-​laugh and obviously talking to someone else. I had to give her a minute or 2 to get it together. Then she was really blunt like she didn’t want to be bothered. At least the beeping stopped eventually.
The 3-​star items were the size of my room. My room ended with 02 and was bigger than an average room I think. It was kind of set on an angle and had more floor space than I’ve seen in other Doubletree rooms. With a stay that long, it’s nice to not feel like the desk is on top of the bed. I had plenty of room for suitcases, etc. The bed was very comfortable as well and I appreciated the chair and footrest to kick back in at the end of the day. The internet was fine as well and my room had a fridge. The parking issues weren’t as bad as I thought they’d be and were 6 bucks a night for the self-​parking.
The 5-​star items were the happy hour prices and service downstairs at Spencer’s Steakhouse. I would never pay their full price dinner prices, but happy hour is a great deal and you will receive very gracious and classy service in the bar. Really enjoyed that. I also liked being able to walk to the shops, restaurants, and movie theater downtown. It was a little cold when I was there so I didn’t take in the park like I wanted to, but it was nice to see what I did. Location is definitely a plus with this hotel.
My room was a connecting room and I knew that could add to the noise level. Three out of the 6 nights were fine, but one I had an extremely loud talker next door who made all his phone calls right on the other side of that door, and one morning very early my neighbor’s TV was cranked up so loud I imagine they could hear it in the shower. What made me cry uncle and move though was on the last night a couple checked in and the husband had to clear his sinuses and hork up mucus every five minutes. It sounded like he was in the room with me. Disgusting and I had had enough, so I checked out the next day and moved to a much quieter hotel.
I gave it the ol college try and would probably stay here again, but only for the convenience of location, Spencer’s HH, and the Hilton Honors points.

Excellent location next to the convention center with excellent restaurants, entertainment and conveniences nearby. Clean, comfortable, good restaurants and solid service. Sherry, a shuttle driver, picked us up from and returned us to the airport. She is a professional who does her job with great pride, cares about her guests, and represents the hotel very well.

Not worth the price. I’ve paid less in the area and enjoyed my stay more. The employees I ran into were accommodating and nice. Very unhappy about having to pay an additional $ 24 for self parking in their garage?! What kind of BS is that? No free breakfast either. I’m not a cheap ass but I didn’t feel like I got what I paid for. Next time I’ll stay somewhere else.

This hotel is very good. The location is great and there are many good restaurants in the area. Our room was large, clean and had a nice view. There is sufficient parking in the neighboring garage, shared with the Spokane Convention Center. The breakfast area on the lobby level was nice.
Three things to be aware of: the pool is small, the toilet in our bathroom was of the small variety (and not low flow, indicating age and wasting water in an arid region), and the A/​C unit is in-​room. So the clicking on and loud fan noise may be sleep disturbing.

Nice enough place. Quiet and clean, with easy self parking. Not the newest remodel, but new enough.

As usual this was a very nice stay on our trip to Spokane. I am a bit biased becuase I am diamond club hilton member.
We were on the 15^th floor and the room was very clean and the front desk receptionists were very nice.
It is located to everything.
We ate at the bar and it happened to be happy hour and we had some great food (5 Stars)
The only drawback or negative thing I can say about the hotel is that the bathrooms are very small and the sinks are very low. Hence the 4 stars.

This place has good and bad qualities:
The good:
1) Hilton points
2) Nice room
3) Nice workout facilities
4) Nicole at the front desk is AMAZING! Interacting with her is always a highlight
5) Location is great rather near downtown but not too close
The bad:
1) $ 12 a day parking
2) No breakfast included
3) Breakfast is expensive
4) Slow elevators
5) Smells old
6) Has quite a few adjoining rooms usually connected to loud people
7) Lots of tweekers around the hotel
8) Lots of tweekers in Spokane in general
Not sure I’ll stay here again if something else near it is available but it’s decent in a pinch.

There’s no Hilton honors lounge (like Columbia, SC) and no unlimited access to the convenience store (like New Bern, NC) for Hilton diamond members. There’s no fridge or microwave in the suite, even if it is a suite. I have never understood that. You’ll just have a basic room, so I have to rate the hotel two stars (Meh. I’ve experienced better).
As a diamond member, I do get free internet. I am not sure if you have to pay. The parking garage is seemingly small for the number of rooms, even though I was able to always find a spot on the first floor.
I didn’t really see anything within a couple of blocks of walking distance. This is basically just a place to stay, and you’ll need a rental car. I would probably stay here again merely because it’s a Doubletree (earn more Hilton honors points), and it’s not too far from where I have to work.
