My favorite thing about this hotel is its locatiin. For me, there isn't a better spot to stay in Spokane, location-wise. You're *right* on the river. You're right on the Centennial Trail. You can walk into and across Riverfront park, including to Riverpark Square/movie theater/downtown with ease. That said, I don't love the new RL by Red Lion update. It feels a little chaotic, like it wa just slapped on to meet an arbitrary standard with no thought as to what people actually wanted. The desk personnel continue to be minimally welcoming and helpful. They do their jobs adequately, but with no real sense of welcome or excitement (which is fine - at the end of the day, that all I need and they're just trying to make a living.) Cleanliness is good but not great. In-house restaurant is good! Nothing stunning, but cute and decent food. Overall, a good place to stay, but it would be so easy to kick it up to a notch to kind of a special place, and you just get the sense that corporate doesn't care and that's trickled down a bit.
