Top University District Hotel Reviews

SilverStone Inn & Suites Spokane Valley

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was great"

Super 8 by Wyndham Spokane Valley

10/10 Excellent

"Thank you for all your hospitality over my past stays like 4 times in the last week lol I have always loved staying at all Super 8's between Nebraska and here. Only thing is I would suggest I better complimentary breakfast? Other than that everything was great! Thank y'all so much!! 💕😎 Staff was very kind and helpful!!"

Fairfield Inn & Suites Spokane Downtown

8/10 Good

"This hotel is a little run down and I thought I would regret staying here, but the location is amazing. We were able to walk to the river park and the mall across the street from the river park. This really mattered to me because the streets around the mall are super confusing. The breakfast was fantastic. Plus they had fresh bananas and apples available all day as well as coffee, tea and hot chocolate. Only complaint is that they had no cold water. Not at breakfast even. The rooms were outdated, but clean. We moved the couch to reach something and no dust bunnies! And the rooms were so quiet. My (adult) children were next door and we never heard a peep."
