The Davenport has always provided a lovely respite. However, our last stay had us, as well as friends and family, reevaluating this choice for our next “staycation”. Initially there was simply a mix up (?) and we changed rooms. (We were told upon check-in that we were indeed able to stay in adjoining rooms with family. Then when taken to our room it was clearly not adjoining and we were told we could move but that our room had not yet been cleaned -this at 5:30 p.m.). Thought nothing of this. We waited and then moved. Walked to restaurant and had a great dinner. Finally when I went to go to sleep I discovered blood stained sheets. About 90 minutes later (now 11:00pm ish) someone knocked on the door and thrust a pile of bedding at me. I was so startled as we booked this stay as a break from everything including household chores. It is very odd to be tasked with changing your own sheets in a 4 star hotel.I asked what I was supposed to do with bloodied sheets and was told to throw them on the floor. I then changed the sheets and realized I had no pillowcases. It stands to reason that those had not been changed either. So once again a call to the front desk and while waiting for pillowcases my husband, exasperated as we wanted to sleep, went to the front desk to try and retrieve clean pillowcases. We stayed the weekend as planned with a pile of dirty sheets in the room. The spa was wonderful, the front desk people were friendly and responsive. The overall beauty of this historic hotel stands- though rooms were oddly empty (no place but the desk for room service). The rooms varied greatly. We were in three rooms during this visit and some were well appointed and others were not. Our room safe did not work-but I kind of gave up trying to fix things after the bedding incident. We paid the bill in full upon check out and left- likely never to return as CDA is close and provides a beautiful location for a break. This review makes me feel sad to write. Something is off here and I miss the old Davenport days.
We had a great stay. We were able to check in early for a $25 fee. Which was great. Disappointed that it costs $50 to use the pool during this time. That’s just my opinion, it is stated on the website. So we weren’t surprised. But just a huge charge for a pool. Our room did have a lot of river gnat, as the front desk called it and lady bugs. They sprayed our room but it didn’t help. Great views. Easy walk to multiple locations. Front desk was amazing.
Room was very attractive and well kept. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Housekeeping is complementary but upon request which is actually a very nice feature. Tiny refrigerator in the TV cabinet and no microwave, but we were allowed to use the one downstairs at Starbucks.
This is a very nice spot in downtown Spokane. It seems to be an older building that has been upgraded and they have done a nice job. Our room was clean and well kept and the location is quiet even though it's in town. What keeps it from five stars is the minimal breakfast and the fact that a nearby street overpass seems to attract some sketchy people. Despite these, I would certainly stay here again.
