We stayed one night in the Premier Suite. It was very modernly updated (compared to the more vintage character of other rooms in this hotel), with exposed ceiling beams and what appeared to be original brick walls, located in a newer wing near the side of the building where Ella's Supper Club used to be. We heard rumors about this being one of Spokane's most haunted hotels and I can see how one might get a vibe that there's presence in the hotel. It was built in 1899, was abandoned for decades, and renovated. They did a beautiful job keeping up the historic aspects of the furnishings, and even the music in the halls was a little spooky. But rest assured, there were no spirits haunting our unit! Our room was adjacent to the Events Center and the building is structured such that we didn't hear the noise from the event going on at the time unless we put our ear to their door down the hall. It is easy to get lost because our room was in the 300's numbers but on the second floor, while other rooms in the 300's are on the third floor. There are two sets of elevators that take you to different parts of the connected buildings. If you're looking for the fitness center in the basement, don't use the elevator from the lobby or that will put you into the restaurant below. The amenities were great. It was like an entire apartment with a full kitchen and all the kitchenware to make it feel like home, plus it had a walk-in pantry. There was a big screen TV in every room and it was easy to hook up our own Firestick. I wished it had a second bathroom, and more hangers, as it does accommodate 4 people. The shower could use a shelf -- you have to put your bath toiletries on the floor of the shower. Bath robes and decor throughout made it cozy. The water vapor electric fireplace was a nice touch in the living room and we had a north facing view of the city surroundings. There was a dedicated room for washer and dryer, and they provide the detergents. The parking lot is small (about 15 spaces), and there's an overflow lot further away. There are several entry/exit doors on both First Av and Monroe St so that's a little confusing, but load in at the front entrance. It's conveniently located near the Fox and Bing theaters and several dining options. Our stay included free breakfast at Rosie's Restaurant. Overall a very nice stay! read more

Such a fabulous hotel and one I frequent! Very clean, gorgeous antique design, and onsite parking. Just make sure to clarify which parking lot is there's! - it's on the alley. Highly recommend this place and will continue to go back! read more

Montvale Hotel - Hotels Near Me - Spokane, Washington

We got set up in this hotel overnight because our flight was cancelled. I highly recommend, but I think we got insanely lucky. Ended up with a suite, which was larger than our apartment! It came with 2 bedrooms each with a king bed, a giant bathroom, and luxury throughout the huge place - high ceilings, exposed brick, a view of the theater, and a huge open living room/lounge/kitchen area. If you are travelling with a large group, I highly recommend this room. Also - it was a delight to turn on the fake fireplace. More like an art piece. It looks like a mysterious set of orange lights, but if you give it a few minutes you'll be surprised (won't give it away). I really appreciated that the bedrooms were almost completely light blocked - no windows, and doors that shut well. We got a fantastic night sleep. The front desk was also really nice. The location is great, and I love the historical touch of the building and common areas. read more

Great hotel with lovely counter space. Short walk past TV station to greenbelt with a dog run. Located within walking distance to music hall and the restaurant attached packs to go for room with real utensils! Upon request they brought a light blue cover for bed because everything is white and I didn't want my dog to mess up white sheets blankets and comforter. Would definitely stay again. Rooms were spacious and bathroom had counterspace. Great find. Also has limited on site parking. read more

This hotel was ok. It looks nice and has a working elevator. However, you have to scan your room key to make it work, and the scanner is not at a wheelchair-accessible height. I was in the disabled room on the top floor. The shower is fully wheelchair accessible. The sink is not. The bed is very very high off the floor as well. They do not have accessible parking. The shelf in the bathroom is not disability accessible, and also it was dirty with soap spots and clearly had not been cleaned prior to my arrival. I also only received about a quarter roll of toilet paper, which was damp through several layers from them making a design with the faucet on it. They are advertised as dog friendly, which I was at first excited about-- I thought my service dog would have an easier time here. But they fail to mention that they do not have any pee spots within accessible distance. It's a several minute walk to a very small patch of grass. The map they gave me didn't even have the montvale on it which was weird. You know how hotels usually give you like four pillows and each is a different firmness? Not here. Six pillows, all so fluffy they were impossible to sleep on. One of the front desk workers was very nice and found me some flatter decorative pillows to try to sleep on which I appreciated. For the record, though I'm giving only 3 stars, the staff were very pleasant and professional. They have a communal hot drinks and hangout area on floor two. This is nice, but it also means that you can hear night owls hanging out and talking very late as all the rooms surround this area on both floors. Not the best experience but not terrible either. The cafe next door has some adequate gluten free options and good coffee. You get 10% off when you're at the Montvale. Overall I think this is a nice hotel for people who aren't disabled. On the site it seems great for a disabled person, but in reality they are lacking in that area. So be aware if you're disabled. read more

Spent a quick Friday overnighter here with the bff. She couldn't have selected a more perfect (though disappointingly not haunted) historic boutique hotel. Full of charm. Comfortable room. Friendly staff. Easy parking right behind the hotel for a reasonable nightly rate ($15?). And convenient walking distance to the best coffee next door (First Ave) and lots of restaurants and bars (we recommend Wooden City for dinner/drinks). I was concerned about reviews of paper-thin walls, but we hardly heard a peep. Maybe we lucked out with quiet neighbors (I know there was someone in the room next to ours because I heard their shower in the morning). It probably also helped being on the third floor without anyone above us. You could hear some street noise from there, but nothing that couldn't be easily ignored (I'm a light sleeper). I'd definitely book here again. read more

It's a 3 star hotel and it gets-- 3 stars from me. The default here is no housekeeping , so be sure to request if you want it. The rooms are dusty. The blinds are full of dust. I woke up sneezing and puffy The bed is squishy. One of our party was in the disability access room and said the bed here was firm. The pillows are 4 synthetic exactly the same. read more

The general manager wrote back the nicest email. He really listened to our dissatisfaction. He gave us a 30% discount off of our room and paid for our parking. While I greatly appreciated the discounts. I really was impressed with his words. So, I changed my stars up to a 4. read more

I came into town for a national women's wrestling tournament for a long weekend with my high school daughter and her teammate. We checked in on Wednesday night. The woman working the night desk said we were double booked but that the manager would sort it out the next day. The next day the manager told us there was nothing they could due and we needed to check out by noon. No assistance to find alternate accommodations. While trying to find another hotel we had to get pack up, get groceries, check in to tournament and weigh in for the tournament. Completely unprofessional and on top of that no concern for our well-being after they had double booked us. read more

The room was comfortable, though the walls were a bit thin. I could occasionally hear guests in the adjacent room. It didn't take away from the overall experience. The staff was friendly and welcoming, offering great local recommendations and making check-in and check-out seamless. I would definitely stay here again. read more

If you love antiques and old world ambiance then this is a good place to stay. This hotel has gone through phases over the decades and is a nice historic hotel now. Our room was comfortable and so was the bed. There are many electric plugs available for all your devices. Overnight parking is only ten dollars and you are within walking distance to many restaurants and shops. read more

The room was clean and apportioned well. The cost was appropriate. However, the noise in this place is awful. I travel 100 nights a year and this one gets the top spot for noise. I understand it's not their fault for the outside noise which is train tracks, bar noise and street racing but OMG, the creaking in this place will keep you up all night. The room above us was up until 2 am and therefore so were we. They have signs up about quiet hours but from the looks in the reviews they don't enforce and we agree. Just be aware before booking. read more

Ghost left me alone There was no noise to be had A cool, old hotel I booked this with credit card miles for the equivalent of about $110. Did not look at the reviews prior to booking. I was super happy with my stay. Nothing supernatural or Trvl channel worthy. During these COVID times, I think I was one of the few staying the night. Slept like a baby. It is certainly not the largest or newest hotel I have ever stayed in. Feels like a trip back in time to a different era. Not sure what that era would be, though. Sometime before I was born. The entire hotel has a very pleasant aroma. When I checked in I thought it was the perfume of the attendant checking me in. It is all over the building and even in my room. One reviewer described it as a candy smell. I'm not sure that is accurate. It is kind of like walking into a candle store. Chamomile, maybe. In any event, after choking on wildfire smog for a couple days it was quite pleasing to me. read more

This place is so cool. Old school style and charm, but the best part was that the price was affordable. The vibe is relaxed and peaceful. The TV didn't work in my room, so they happily switched me and that room was even better. The front desk gentleman was above and beyond helpful and professional. read more

Older boutique style hotel. Amazing and friendly staff! Great muffins and pastries in the morning. Rooms are large come equipped with/ a fridge which was nice visiting there for a volleyball meet. Secure parking but so many homeless around it was a little scary. I surely would not hang out outside this hotel. Likely would not stay here again for this reason. Gilded Unicorn restaurant downstairs was pretty good. Lots of creative options. Must have a reservation. read more

My cousin, who lives in Spokane, recommended this hotel. She was spot on with this place. I LOVED IT! You can get hot coffee or tea 24/7. Parking is only $10 a night. I found a better price on Priceline and the hotel told me to go ahead and book it through them! I wish we could have stayed, at least, one more night. I highly recommend staying at this gorgeous hotel. read more

BOO! No, that's not my review. The place is haunted. If my video posts on Yelp, I had a silly encounter with a ghost that kept flickering my lamp, seemingly answering my questions. When we inquired we learned that someone hung himself if our section of the hotel. I love this hotel, and I recommend it highly. It feels very historic (120 years old) and grand, though the price was outstanding (a third the price of our shitty motels in Idaho and Oregon). For being such a historic hotel (120 years old), the room was like a boutique hotel: the spacious, spotless room was attractive and nicely appointed with actual lamps, large windows, and a huge bathroom with dual high shower heads with awesome pressure, quality toiletries, etc. The wifi worked well. The staff were super nice. The bed was large and comfortable. The ghosts were pleasant and did not kill us. I mean, one asked me to kill my dad, but did so in a sweet, almost apologetic way, like it didn't want me to go out of my way to kill him. They do have a beautiful old-school second floor lobby, which is great if you like to be social or want to relax out of your room (but not great if people are too social and loud). Though any downtown can be a little sketchy, the location within the entertainment district is great. There were a lot of great bars within walking distance (we liked Baby Bar). If you eat out, bring home a doggie bag: they have both a fridge and a microwave! Not that you will need breakfast: the stay comes with a $5 off (each) purchase at Incredieggs or Inbreadable or Remarkabutter or something like that. read more

We had plans to stay two nights at this hotel. We love historic atmospheres so this seemed perfect. We arrived after a late flight around 11:30pm. We checked in and showered and fell asleep. Around 2:00am we woke up to a stranger standing in our room. My boyfriend was yelling who are you, and the male ran out into the hall. My boyfriend ran after him and caught up in the hallway demanding to know what he was doing in our room. He said he was security and he checks empty rooms at night. My boyfriend then went back to the room got dressed and went to the front desk. They said they had forgotten to take our room off the lists to check and gave no reason as to why they need to check empty rooms at 2:00am. They seemed to act as if we overreacted to a stranger standing by our bed in the middle of the night. Why would he run and not just identify himself. We said we would be leaving as soon as possible since we did not feel safe there. I asked for a refund and they said they could not since it was through Expedia. So I spent the next hours between Expedia and the hotel trying to get our money back. The hotel never reached out and apologized for this incident. If I had been alone or he had come while I was showering, truly not acceptable. read more

I like staying at historical hotels, and this did not disappoint. I stated in the suite behind the "Montvale" sign, and it was fun to see the lights of the town and the lit up sign at night outside the window. The suite was very spacious wth 2 TV sets, a comfortable bed, plush bath robes, and a deep bath tub. The atmosphere was very quiet and peaceful, with a common area that had sofas, books, and organic herbal tea. read more

Been a long time since I stayed here but got the Premium King Room and it's not bad for the price we paid I also used $30 in orbucks so the room was a very good price. The bed was a king size and very soft and the room smelled very good and clean, took a bit to figure out the tv but when we did was super easy to navigate. Should the rooms be fairly priced again I would love to come back and stay the night again. read more

Montvale Hotel - Montvale Hotel - Hotels Near Me - Spokane, Washington

My review is ONLY based off things the hotel can not control but should be address for people staying here. The room itself was very small but perfect for my stay as my husband and I were traveling to find property in Spokane and surrounding area during the day. The bathroom was about twice the size of the room and was just gorgeous! I'm 8 months pregnant so a good bath when we got back was just what I needed and this bathroom was ideal! The staff was 120% AWESOME! Travis was out host for the evening and he took time out of his busy night to bring a pregnant lady a robe and toothbrush as I forgot mine! He was friendly and kind and honestly the only reason I would go back. The feel and decor was just amazing and as someone who loves to live in olden times I truly felt at home here, now the cons -we were in room 314 and that faces the parking lot for the hotel and OMG the drama outside allllll night was crazy! There was a lady screaming at a man who claimed to have stolen her purse for 40 min then stopped suddenly and back at it 40 min later! Yikes!! The road traffic is very loud also. The structure is also apparently also very outdated as I could hear my upstairs neighbors tv until 1am and then they proceeded to take 3 showers which you can hear the water running the whole time, THEN they seemed to have a problem with the bed because I could hear the bed above for about an hour making noise, maybe intimate time or someone uncomfortable I'm not sure, it wasn't distinct enough to tell. All in all I got 2 hours of sleep! BUT with that being said the bed was aaammmaazziinngglly comfortable for a pregnant women! I know there isn't much the hotel can do, but if you are sensitive to any of these things you should be advised. They do however earplugs but I'm bot one to bother the staff every 5 min. Also even bigger con is the Gilded Unicorn was HORRIBLE! Food was cold AND burned! I posted a separate review but for anyone staying, do not eat there! read more

IF I COULD GIVE 0 STARS I WOULD. This hotel is horrific. Paper thin walls. I could hear EVERYTHING TWO WOMEN ABOVE US SAID ALL NIGHT. It is 1:32 am right now and they're cackling away, playing music, laughing, talking about how they're going to go to Texas to visit her sister. And the rooms shake when people above walk. Awful, prison looking rooms, and just terrible all around. read more

We didn't know really what to expect of this hotel based on the varied reviews, and it was wonderful!!!!! We were able to check in remotely early, asking for a room on a higher floor away from the elevator, and that is what we got. Our king room was spacious, clean, and well appointed. It had a small desk and chair, a regular sitting chair, a refrigerator, a microwave, two nightstands, and a comfortable king bed. The bathroom was much larger than what we have experienced at other boutique hotels. The requested bottle of red wine and glasses were waiting for us ($20), and the room's drinking glasses were also real glass - nice! There are plenty of amenities in the hotel. There is coffee and tea available on the 2nd floor. There is also ample seating on the second floor with a cozy fireplace. The staff is super friendly, parking is $10/day, and you can easily walk anywhere downtown from this location. We parked our car for most of the trip, as we were able to walk to the Riverfront Park and the areas many restaurants and wine tasting rooms. Totally convenient! The building itself is older, so the walls are thinner and the floors squeak. No big deal. There are also stairs and an elevator to get around the building. The elevator also goes down to The Guilded Unicorn, which is in the building's basement. This hotel is simply marvelous, and we look forward to returning! read more

Fun to stay in a historic hotel. Staff wasn't the friendliest, but hotel was clean and pleasant. Walls are very thin and when neighbors got in and started yelling it was less then desirable but will stay again read more

Had a perfectly fine stay here. The location is central to downtown Spokane stuff and easy to get to the surrounding areas. Very convenient. Building is nice, interesting historic aspect with updated aspects that make it a decent place to stay. Walls are a little thin, though, and noisy neighbors can easily keep you up at night. Not the most accessible, though they do have elevators. Nice people staffing the front desk, super helpful when answering questions and giving us ideas for places to check out like Baby Bar and Satellite Cafe. The housekeeping staff were nice and did a good job. Restaurants here are nothing much and not worth visiting when there are so many other good places around. The area is pretty run down, lots of homeless folks hanging about and many folks passed out on the sidewalk when we were there. Spokane downtown for you. If that puts you off, better to stay in the burbs. read more

Beautiful hotel with a great vibe. The place is beautifully decorated and felt almost homey. We had a standard queen room but it did not feel like your basic hotel room. The ceilings are very high and the room has huge windows making it feel much larger. The beds were very soft and comfortable and the bathroom was huge. The sitting area on the second floor is so comfy I wanted to curl up with a book in front of the fireplace. The place smelled great, not like a standard hotel, it had a warm comforting fragrance. The floors are squeaky but it only added to the charm and vibe. We were on the third floor so had no one above us, the room was very quiet. The place felt very safe, a key card was required to use the elevator and there was a front desk person all night. When it gets late you have to use a keycard to get in the building as well. We ended up paying for parking across the street because we did not realize thee was a lot in the back for $10 a night but we did not mind. Over all we loved our stay and will be staying here again. read more

Montvale Hotel - Common area - Hotels Near Me - Spokane, Washington

This is my absolute favorite place to stay in Spokane. The hotel is very unique and the staff are very accommodating. This is the perfect location for downtown area food, drinks, fun and shopping. I usually park my vehicle at the hotel and just walk to dinner. There is plenty to do in the area. I stay at Montvale Hotel for my business trips, the staff know my room preferences now and everyone is really nice and helpful. My office is now located in Spokane Valley and there are plenty of hotels near the area (walking distance) but I will gladly make the 15 to 20 minute drive to Montvale instead. Thank you for keeping a nice, gorgeous, affordable, convenient place for people to enjoy. read more

We almost went with the Davenport, given its reputation, but we were checking in late at night, so this place ( at HALF the cost) made more sense. It's just a place to sleep, right? Small-ish but cozy rooms. Well decorated and uber comfy bed. Free tea and coffee outside our room and the staff were SO nice and friendly!!! We've stayed at both Ruby's ( owned by same) and although they had their own charm, this place was awesome. The lobby's of each floor had fireplaces and common areas that I'd like in my home. For the price, the decadence of the decor and the ease? Do it. Dare you. Look at the pics read more

Like most people who travel to Spokane, I wanted to stay at the historically glorious Davenport. But, the rumors about their "surprisingly affordable" room rates were not true in my case. The Montvale seemed to be the Davenport's modest older step-sister, and an okay compromise for about $130/nt. In short: the Montvale is FINE. Maybe even a little nicer than fine. So, if you're worried about finding something completely different than what's advertised, don't fret. The Montvale is actually nicer than the photos and website suggest. The Good: historic, downtown location on a street with cute boutiques. Comfy bed. Huge white tiled bathroom. Nice restaurant downstairs (Scratch - not affiliated with the hotel but literally attached). Lovely library / sitting room on the atrium level. Self-serve filtered water. The Not So Good: Scratchy towels. Cheap Toiletries. Old windows that let lots of street noise in. Limited staff (every time I went to the front desk, there was nobody there, and I had to wait around in suspense, waiting for someone to show up). Really weak free wifi. Rooms not thoroughly cleaned (there was an un-flushed toilet in my room when I checked in - eeeek!) So, the good & bad mostly balance each other out and make for a perfectly A-OK stay. I wouldn't be upset if I had to stay here again, but if you're used to deluxe hotel amenities, the Montvale will take some getting used to. On the other hand, if you like hotels with character and some quirks, the Montvale will suit you just fine! read more

The Montvale is the poor man's Davenport. This is a decent hotel that offers value and a decent location within walking distance to the cities hot spots. There are a few misses though. The hallways are a bit creaky and the wifi (complimentary) signal is inconsistent. The beds are comfortable, which is a priority but the air conditioning/heating (like the wifi) is can be a little off. The lobby area(s) are very inviting and like the old "library" feel. I actually felt more comfortable hanging out on one of the couches on the second floor than in my room. I'm "this" close to awarding The Montvale a 4 star review, but I'll see how you do on my next visit. read more

I think this is the oldest hotel in Spokane and for that, it's quite charming. The rooms are pretty large. However, every room faces the street and the windows are old- making it pretty loud and drafty. The beds are a bit too squishy for my tastes as well. There is a free continental breakfast just across the street at Ruby's but it's definitely no frills. Some cereal, juice, and hard boiled eggs. There was a waffle iron but I didn't see any batter. The Montvale hosts a couple of restaurants and I had a chance to grab a glass of wine at the new Gilded Unicorn. It's a cool place in the basement and had a very eclectic and interesting menu. Overall, it was a decent stay for the price but if you're going for charm AND luxury, I'd choose the Davenport any day of the week. read more

A fun historic hotel. Rooms represent the low prices and its is next to the trains but it's still an enjoyable stay if you overlook the little issues and see the charms. High ceilings, lovely brick, wonderful lounge, lots of outlets. Nicks and poor repairs in bathroom walls, worn carpet, sheets don't fit so don't stay on beds, poor soundproofing on windows so nearby trains and bar are loud. Potential for some really neat businesses adjoining, but currently for lease. Enjoyed and will return. read more

Usually, we stay with family or friends in Spokane, but we opted for some privacy this time and bedded down at the Montvale for 3 nights this past weekend. The location is great - right downtown, close to RiverPark Square, restaurants, bars, and a movie theatre. Valet parking is convenient and reasonable at $15/day (there is no self-parking option here, though). Our room was clean and cozy, with a comfy bed and walk-in shower (yay!). Although we didn't order any room service items, the menu from the Catacombs Pub downstairs looked delicious and reasonably priced. Unless you ordered some fancy dinner, you could get a tasty midnight snack for under $10...that's hard to find in room service! Some complimentary breakfast items were available on the 2nd floor, near the neat-O, self-serve coffee/espresso machine. Cookies were also available here during the afternoon and man, they were good. The full complimentary spread is offered in the Catacombs Pub and it includes muffins, hard-boiled eggs, waffles, scones, juice, yogurt, bagels, etc. Not bad, but not amazing. The only complaint I have is one that cannot be remedied, unless the hotels moves to a less desirable location (not recommended) or I stay during a time when downtown Spokane is vacant (not likely). The noise from the street was deafening, even when we weren't trying to sleep. We kept checking our windows to make sure they weren't open, but they were closed tight. Still, we could hear every word of the people below on the street...and we were on the 3rd floor. First, the fire engines (there must have been 10 of them?) went by at 5am. The next night, the drunken crowds bailed from the pool hall next door at 2am. It's cool, I mean...we like to party, too. Perhaps if the hotel management could persuade the owners to invest in double-pane windows or something? Anything might help decrease the noise level. Regardless of the noise, we played hard, so we slept well and enjoyed our stay here. We'll definitely be back and plan to recommend it to our friends...but we'll advise they bring ear plugs. read more

I really, really want to be head over heels in love with this place. I was hoping for an unforgettable experience laced with charm, history, and a sense of 'how it used to be' because this property is stunning. The two-story atrium is literally breathtaking--I gasped upon exiting the elevator. From then I tried to look at the hotel through rose-colored glasses but have sadly been forced to face facts: the hotel has a lot of glaring problems. First is the cleanliness of the rooms, particularly in the areas in which cleanliness is most important. The bathroom was the first place to show its signs of imperfection, most notably hairs on the walls in the shower. One was about 6 feet up, which perhaps indicates that the walls were wiped, but clearly not very carefully. The shower curtain was stained and had an unpleasant odor. The grout looks old and dirty. The bed sheets also had signs that they weren't fully clean. There was a stain on the fitted sheet beneath a pillow and more hairs. Second theme of problems is a lack of attention to detail. By this I'm referring to the holes in the walls that were patched but not painted, a hand towel for the bathmat, only two bath towels in the room, dust on the baseboards, TV, lamp; pillows that were paradoxically lumpy but firm, and bed sheets that are either very old or of poor quality (or perhaps both--either way, not soft). A lot of the furniture in the atrium could also use a sprucing up or replacement--the upholstered chairs especially just looked dingy and worn and frankly unappealing as a place to relax or even touch. A few miscellaneous problems: squeaky floors above us meant for zero sleep while the patron above were doing what I can only guess was walking in a circle over the spot in question from 6-7am; the window appeared open in the middle of the night due to all the street noise coming in but in the end it was actually closed and just doesn't block out any sound; parking was a confusion at first, especially valet as the front desk clerk wasn't even there when we checked in (a sign on the desk indicated her absence and a number to call), but we parked around the corner on the street in metered parking for free overnight and went to pay the meter before 8am for a two-hour block; the Catacombs Pub in the basement has closed permanently which meant a lack of room service from what we could tell. A few positives: Stevia provided at the morning coffee service (although quality of coffee is questionable), several convenient outlets in the rooms, high ceilings, large bathroom, and so much charm, history, and potential that it pains me to write a less than stellar review. I'm hoping for the best for the Montvale Hotel's future. It would be a shame for this property to fall into disrepair again; hotels just aren't built like this anymore. That being said, it's a far, far cry from the Davenport and has a lot of growth in store before it can even come close to a comparison. read more
