Stays in Spokane

Spokane is the Inland Northwest's river city: falls and a 1974 World's Fair park downtown, mountains an hour away and 30 hotels from airport inns to the historic Davenport.

Stays in Spokane center on the Spokane River, which drops through downtown past Riverfront Park, the Looff Carrousel and the SkyRide. The 30 hotels in this guide split into three zones: downtown around the Spokane Convention Center and the Davenport district, the airport side along I-90, and the quieter north side. Most visitors drive, since Spokane International Airport sits about 15 minutes west of downtown and the ski areas, golf courses and Coeur d'Alene lie farther out. Pick the zone first, then the pool, pets and breakfast (confirm parking before you book).

A few steps from the terminal with a shuttle and buffet breakfast

Why guests love it

A family catching a morning flight will find little to manage: the terminal is a few steps away, a shuttle service takes the bags and a buffet breakfast is ready. A fitness centre helps parents work off the travel stress, and the 24-hour desk covers a late arrival. Downtown is 12 km away, so this stop suits flight days more than long sightseeing stays (Wi-Fi is free in public areas).

Why guests love it

A family flying in will find the sequence easy: a free shuttle from the airport, an indoor pool and hot tub before dinner, and a hot breakfast the next morning. The microwave and fridge in each room help with snacks, and the convenience store covers forgotten items.

Indoor pool and a child-friendly breakfast on the north side

Why guests love it

A family on the north side will enjoy the indoor pool after a day on the road, and the child-friendly buffet breakfast means no negotiation at the table. The minimarket helps with forgotten snacks, and cycling in the surrounding area gives older children something to do. Downtown is 10 km away, so the car matters.

Why guests love it

On a week-long road trip, laundry facilities and a free shuttle are the useful details here, and the indoor pool and hot tub give the evenings a routine. The buffet breakfast with pastries and fruit gets the family out the door, and the bar is there for parents after bedtime. Downtown is 10 km away, so plan sightseeing by car (parking is free and private).

The historic Davenport with a spa and three restaurants

Why guests love it

For a milestone weekend, the Davenport is the kind of place that sets the tone: the Palm Court Grill for a quiet dinner, the Peacock Room for a nightcap and the spa for a slow afternoon. Rooms look over downtown Spokane, and the tennis court and bicycles give active guests a reason to leave the lobby. Riverfront Park is a 5-minute drive away (pets are allowed).

Why guests love it

Two families travelling together will like the interconnected rooms, and the indoor pool and hot tub let the children burn off the flight. The terminal is 1 km away with a free shuttle, so the morning departure stays calm. Rooms come with a fridge and microwave for snacks. Downtown is a drive of about 11 km, so this is a flight-day base (parking is free and private).

Suites with a kitchenette feel and a free airport transfer

Why guests love it

For a family staying several nights, the suite format is the draw: a sofa area, a desk, a fridge and a microwave mean breakfast happens in the room. The free daily airport transfer simplifies arrival day, and Gonzaga University and Spokane Arena are both about 1 km away for game weekends. Pets are allowed, so the dog stays with the group (parking is on site).

Indoor pool and steak dinners a walk from Riverfront Park

Why guests love it

For a family planning one car-free day, the walk to Riverfront Park is the whole story: ten minutes, then the carousel, the falls and the SkyRide without a parking meter. The indoor pool softens the end of the day, and dinner at the hotel's own restaurant keeps tired children off the sidewalk. Rooms feel traditional, with a desk for the parent who still has email. Ask about parking at booking (parking is available).

Why guests love it

For a family on a long road trip, the Madison Inn solves small problems: free parking, a launderette for the week's laundry, a fridge for snacks and a buffet that children can actually eat. Downtown attractions are all a short drive, and the Amtrak station is 2 km away for rail travelers. The décor is traditional, but the price-to-convenience ratio holds up (parking is free).

Why guests love it

A family travelling by electric car will notice the charging station first, then the free bicycles that make Riverfront Park an easy ride. Family rooms look over the city, and the restaurant's family-friendly ambience and dietary options help with picky eaters. Babysitting and child services are offered for a parents' evening out. The airport is 9 km away, and luggage storage covers early arrivals.

Attached to the Convention Center, 100 metres from the park

Why guests love it

On a short city stay the location does the work: Riverfront Park is 100 metres from the door, the shops and galleries are within 5 minutes' walk, and the airport shuttle runs from 05:00 to midnight. Rooms are roomy enough for a small family, with privacy curtains for early mornings and a marble shower after the walk. An espresso in the lobby starts the day before the park opens (the concierge is on site).

Floor-to-ceiling windows on the Spokane River

Why guests love it

A family arriving after the restaurants close can still get dinner snacks from the 24-hour market, which is the kind of detail parents remember. Rooms with a balcony and big windows face the river, so the view entertains the children before bedtime. The walk to the Convention Center is about 10 minutes, and breakfast at the bistro keeps the morning simple. Plan the afternoon around Riverfront Park and the river path.

Rooms have a microwave, a fridge and hypo-allergenic bedding, helpful for light sleepers. It is a boutique place, not a resort, so activities are outside the door rather than inside (private parking is on site).

Free shuttle, indoor pool and hot tub by the airport

Why guests love it

A family flying in late appreciates the short loop: shuttle to the hotel, a bed, and a free buffet breakfast before the rental car or the next flight. The indoor pool and hot tub turn a layover night into something the children remember, and the fridge keeps milk and snacks cold. Downtown is a drive away, so sightseeing needs the car. Pets are allowed, which helps travelers with a dog (parking is free).

Why guests love it

Looked at as a couples' weekend, the Tower makes sense: the pillowtop bed, the marble shower and the indoor hot tub give the evening a slower pace, and Riverfront Park is an 8-minute walk away. Dinner stays in the building at The Safari Room Grill and Bar, and fresh fruit and towels in the fitness centre are small touches. Pets are allowed for those who bring a dog (the airport is 12 minutes by car).

Heated pool open around the clock on the north side

Why guests love it

A family rolling in from the interstate after dark will find the pool still open, which settles the kids before bedtime. The fridge and microwave in the room handle snacks and leftovers, and the free café breakfast saves a first-morning stop. The dog comes along without fuss. The trade-off is distance: downtown Spokane is five miles away, so every sightseeing outing is a short drive, not a stroll (parking is straightforward on site).

Why guests love it

For a family visiting a tournament or show, the walk is short: the Convention Center is across the street, Riverpark Square is two blocks away and Riverfront Park is 10 minutes on foot. Rooms have a fridge and microwave for packed snacks, and the daily breakfast covers the first meal. Covered parking is first come, first served, so arrive before the evening rush (pets are allowed).

Indoor pool and hot tub in the city centre

Why guests love it

In a downtown stay with children, the indoor pool decides the evening: it stays open through winter, and the hot tub is there for parents. Free parking removes one daily worry, and the breakfast spread of pancakes, fruit and warm dishes feeds a family before Riverfront Park. The airport is 11 km away, so the first and last day are easy to plan. The style is standard, not special.

200 yards from the terminal with a free shuttle

Why guests love it

A family with a 6 a.m. departure will appreciate how little there is to manage here: the terminal is 200 yards away, the shuttle takes the luggage, and a hot breakfast is waiting. The microwave and fridge handle bottles and snacks, and the seating area gives parents a place to sit once the kids are asleep. Sightseeing is a drive away, so this works best as a flight-day stop (parking is free).

Connected to the Convention Center, beside the river

Why guests love it

Families visiting for a tournament or convention save the most time here, since the venue is attached and nobody has to find a parking spot. The seasonal outdoor pool is a treat in summer, and breakfast at Shutters Cafe is cooked to order. The river path starts a few steps outside, handy for burning off energy. In winter the pool is not an option, so plan other evening activities.

Just off I-90 with a 24-hour shuttle

Why guests love it

A family on a long I-90 day will like that the hotel is minutes from the exit, with free parking and a pool waiting indoors. The guest laundry is useful after a week on the road, and the 24-hour marketplace covers late snacks. Breakfast arrives as a voucher for the Denny's next door, which suits kids who want pancakes. Dog-friendly rooms mean the pet travels too (the airport shuttle helps for the fly-out).

Outdoor pool and Atrium Café close to downtown Spokane

Why guests love it

Seen from a family's side, the practical rooms carry this hotel. A fridge and microwave handle packed lunches, the outdoor pool gives the children a reason to head back after a day at Riverfront Park, and the atrium café means dinner needs no second drive. Downtown sits 1.5 miles away, close enough for a short ride but far enough that nobody walks to the carousel. Bring the dog if you like (pets are allowed).

The minimarket handles milk and snacks, and the continental breakfast starts the day without a restaurant stop. Rooms are family-sized and clean by guest reports.

Free bikes in season, 800 metres from the Amtrak station

Why guests love it

Rail travelers get the most from this address: the Amtrak station is within 800 metres, so luggage stays on a short walk. A free bicycle in season turns Riverfront Park into a ride, and two free breakfasts a day at Rosie's Restaurant simplify the mornings. Rooms have a fridge and microwave for snacks. The fitness center is off-site, so energetic guests should plan a run along the river instead.

Why guests love it

Family rooms keep everyone in one place, and the 24-hour front desk handles late arrivals. The Convention Center is 3 km away, so sightseeing means a short drive. Expect a simple stay with sound basics.

What to expect

  • Riverfront Park, the falls, the Looff Carrousel and the SkyRide downtown
  • The Davenport district, with the historic Davenport Hotel from 1914
  • Airport hotels along I-90 with free shuttles and indoor pools
  • Mount Spokane skiing about 30 miles northeast of the city
  • Centennial Trail along the Spokane River for walking and cycling
  • Hoopfest in late June and Bloomsday in early May fill hotels

Local tips

  • Choose your zone before your hotel: downtown for walking to Riverfront Park, the airport side for early flights, the north side for space and a quiet pool.
  • Book early for Hoopfest in late June, Bloomsday in early May and Gonzaga basketball, because downtown rooms near the Convention Center sell out first.
  • Rent a car at Spokane International Airport, since the ski areas, golf courses and Coeur d'Alene are all driving distance from any hotel in town.
  • Carry traction tires or chains from late autumn if you plan to drive toward Mount Spokane or the Idaho passes after snow.
  • Check air quality in late summer, because wildfire smoke can reach Spokane in August and September and change outdoor plans.
  • Ask about parking at downtown hotels, since some charge a fee or limit spaces while others, like Fairfield Inn Downtown, include it.

Frequently asked questions

Where should I stay in Spokane?

Stay downtown near Riverfront Park and the Convention Center if you want to walk, in an airport hotel along I-90 for early flights and free shuttles, or on the north side for quieter nights and a 24-hour pool. The Davenport district suits couples and history lovers.

What are the best things to do in Spokane?

Walk Riverfront Park and the falls, ride the SkyRide, cycle the Centennial Trail, visit Manito Park and see a show at the Fox Theater or the INB Performing Arts Center. In winter, Mount Spokane offers skiing about 30 miles northeast.

When is the best time to visit Spokane?

Late spring through early autumn gives long, dry days for the river and trails, while winter suits skiing at Mount Spokane. Hoopfest in late June and Bloomsday in early May fill hotels. In late summer, check air quality, since wildfire smoke can drift in.

Is Spokane good for a family trip?

Yes. Riverfront Park has the carousel and SkyRide, the Children's Museum of Spokane is a short drive from downtown and many hotels offer family rooms, indoor pools and free parking. Quality Inn Oakwood, Hampton Inn & Suites and Holiday Inn Express suit families well.

How far is the airport from downtown Spokane?

Spokane International Airport sits about 15 minutes west of downtown by car, near I-90. Several hotels, including Fairfield by Marriott, Ramada, Sleep Inn and MainStay Suites, are on or next to airport property and offer free shuttles, which makes arrival and departure days simple.

Can I visit Coeur d'Alene or ski areas from Spokane?

Yes. Coeur d'Alene in Idaho is about 30 miles east on I-90, and Mount Spokane State Park is roughly 30 miles northeast. Silver Mountain, Schweitzer and Lookout Pass are farther along the Idaho corridors. A rental car and a hotel with parking make these day trips easy.
