Davenport Hotel, Autograph Collection

Great hotel in Spokane. The staff was always super helpful and attentive, and the hotel was very clean. My room was great. Solid water pressure in the shower, plenty of fresh towels and a comfortable bed. I was on the third floor which was quick and easy to get to from the elevator or stairs. There is plenty of food and drink options. I had coffee and breakfast at the cafe, and I also had dinner and drinks in the Peacock Lounge which was a great experience. It was close to great restaurants and it was easy to find.

This hotel is easily the most beautiful I have ever visited. The attention to detail in every square inch of the hotel is breathtaking. There is so much history throughout the entire building. My daughters and I started in the Peacock room. The bartender was so kind.Even though he was getting ready to close up. He made us feel welcomed. There was still time for a last call. We had a delicious drink and were admiring the most beautiful ceiling. What appeared to be back lit stained glass peacock mural covered a large portion of the ceiling. As we were attempting to get the best possible photo. The bartender offered to take a photo from his vantage point. Perfect photo! After that, we took our time looking around the hotel. Photos from the original hotel were displayed throughout. In glass cases were more artifacts. We were stunned by the beautiful architecture and lighting. We wandered everywhere that was accessible to us taking photos as we went. We were eventually approached by very friendly security member. We were overjoyed when she offered us a tour She showed us into some of the locked rooms. We went into the ballrooms. The room Amelia Earhart stayed in. We even saw the famous circus room. She shared the history of the hotel as we walked. We felt so lucky to see and learn the history of the hotel. Privileged, to view so many treasures the artists who created this masterpiece of a building have hidden in their work. We would have never gotten to see all of these pieces of history without her kindness. This was hands-down the best visit to any hotel I have ever been to. The staff, our room and this lovely place. 10/10 I would definitely recommend coming here.

Obviously nice, new, great location, more artful than typical hotels but not like the Davenport. Rooms are a bit sparse ( no couch, limited place to put things near / in the shower but spacious and views great. Nice use of Marriott points overall though.

It takes wonderful everything to get me to rate at 5 stars. The food (treated myself to room service) was exceptional. I had the Gnocchi and the hummus plate. Oh and Cesar salad. Dressings and sauces were tasty 😋 but the service was impeccable. Everyone from front desk, the bell hops, the restaurant service where I ate breakfast of eggs Benedict, the room service people, all were top notch. The room was beautiful and huge. It had a wonderful large tub which I enjoyed. I could see the fire works from my room, always a treat. Highly recommend 👌🏽

This place is stunning! Front desk staff were amazing. And the valet was helpful and quick even with how busy it was. Stayed in a king suite on the 14th floor (which wasn’t cheap, cost us $1500 Canadian for 2 nights.😳) Views were amazing and the room felt very fancy. Bed was plush and so comfortable. A couple complaints though…The ac was barely cool so it was very warm in the room. There was no mini fridge so saving leftovers wasn’t possible but otherwise everything was very good. Liked that it was close to many things downtown. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

We got a top floor executive suite for the wife, 2 kids, and myself. The room was perfect for our 3 day stay in Spokane. Parking was fairly expensive, we parked next door at the public lot. It was pretty comparable in the end because I had to pay for parking from 9am-5pm for the day time window and then from 5-9am. There is no 24 hr option. I believe self parking at the hotel was $28 and valet was $35. The room itself was great. There was a main room with an amazing king size bed and master bathroom with a massive hot tub and walk in shower room. There was a mini fridge that fit all 40 lbs of my freshly caught salmon. We did not partake in the free breakfast but for certain members that is an option.

Elegant historic hotel were we've stayed multiple times, and had our daughter's wedding. Comfortable rooms, beautifully redone interior courtyard lobby bar and restaurant. Food is good, and the Peacock Bar also adjacent. Did a great job with the wedding catering and rooms and details. Valet and nearby covered parking garage. Location can't be beat.

We had a great one night stay at the Davenport. The room was beautiful and, even though we didn't get the room we reserved (don't use 3rd party sites to reserve your room) the front desk immediately offered $100 off the room and saw that we were a couple and offered a bottle of champagne delivered to the room on the house. We also requested a mini fridge and both items were delivered to the room super fast! The bed was so comfortable and we woke up to gorgeous light pouring through the window.

Wow this place is cooler and better looking than I expected I'm surprised they don't call it the Grand Additionally, David at the front desk is very accommodating and friendly. Thanks for helping our stay be even more memorable

Absolutely beautiful hotel! I was pleasantly surprised to find myself swept up in its rich history--like stepping into a time machine. The vintage photographs showing the rooms in their heyday were fascinating and gave the place a charming, nostalgic vibe. Location? Perfect. You can walk to all the cool spots without breaking a sweat--or a heel. Our room wasn't quite as stunning as the lobby's grandeur suggested, but it was comfortable enough. They make a big deal about their mattresses that are for sale, but I didn't find them life-changing. My kid joined the scavenger hunt, which was a blast--until the prize turned out to be peanut brittle. She's allergic to peanuts, so that was a bit of a plot twist. The staff kindly offered ice cream instead, but the only flavor was... you guessed it: peanut brittle. I mean, who runs an ice cream shop with just one flavor? And that flavor is peanut brittle? Thankfully, we ended up with a bag of gummy bears, which saved the day. Still, I'd suggest offering a peanut-free prize or at least a backup scoop of vanilla for us mere mortals. Overall, a great stay. I'm really glad we experienced it. Next time, we're trying the more modern Davenport, and I'm excited to compare the two. Also, shoutout to the staff: they were on it. Always.

Stunning hotel. This is an elegant wonder. The historic hotel is a gem. There are 4 Davenport hotels in Spokane and I have stayed at 3 of them so far and this one is my favorite. A few dining options in the hotel and nearby. The gym is way better than most hotel gyms. The gym is important to me and one critical part of hotel selections. This hotel doesn't disappoint and I would love to come back and visit in the future after I visit the 1 last Davenport I haven't been to yet.

The absolute most comfortable beds in Spokane. Directly across from the convention center and located nicely downtown. This is an upscale hotel with all the amenities you could want Keurug machine in the room. Staff is kind and helpful and rooms are very clean

My husband is a platinum titanium member, so we were able to upgrade to a corner suite. The room was very comfortable and nice size. They are dog friendly, so we brought our dog Luna and she loved it. The area shuts down early and I was disappointed that room service wasn't available despite hours stating otherwise (I tried to order something at 10:00 pm and it said they were closed). We had to find something nearby and it wasn't great. We didn't see much of the hotel as we were staying just to see a concert nearby. We wanted food and drinks, but the lobby was empty and closed. It is beautiful so hopefully we will be back to try it out.

We enjoyed a cocktail and enjoyed the lovely holiday decor and scenery! The Christmas trees are lovely. The service at the bar was attentive and the drinks were great. I got an amaretto sour and he enjoyed his aperol spritz. A fun festive place to enjoy a drink and the holidays!

Not a good feeling to wait 1.5 hours for food and then see the couple next to you that waited 10 minutes get a free fancy cheesecake "on the house because of how long it's taking." 5 minutes later we got our food and they got theirs. Nice. Ruined all the plans we had for the day. The manager didn't even blink an eye or say anything just threw the food on our table and left. Nice service, guys

The accounting department will not return my calls and I've been trying all week. I am trying to get a receipt for my stay and also received a random $19 charge.

It's been a minute since my last visit here and I was impressed with the new lobby bar and emporium updates! - the fantastic service, and rich history are reason enough for everyone to visit at least once. Add in the STUNNING lobby bar, it's beautiful!! Reminds me of the lobby bar at the Fairmont in Seattle. - Coffee was moved to the Emporium which is an epic space of everything you need when away from home-grab and go snacks, half bottles of wine, mini airplane bottles of hard alcohol, espresso, breakfast sandwiches, pastries, ice creamery and abundant gift shop offerings. Note: I used the $20 dining credit that you get at check in, which bought me an americano, breakfast burrito and pastry. Was pleasantly surprised to see a black bean and tofu burrito on the menu. Served warm with a side of pice de gallo-yum! - the gift shop has an impressive variety for any shopper- soy wax candles, home decor, Travis Matthew golf gear, and of course their signature soft peanut brittle. I wanted everything but bought nothing. And I really wanted a lamp and their signature candles but knew I couldn't pack it home. Must leave room in the suitcase on my next visit. - valet is prompt and courteous and not nearly as chaotic as their Grand location. - I didn't eat here this time but I recall the seafood Louie salad at the Palm Court restaurant was one of the best I've had. - there is history on the walls upstairs. Peruse the pictures if you get a chance. I'm typically one to favor the Grand only due to style preference. However the hustle and bustle of that location seems to impact their service. The Historic was refreshingly quiet, controlled and relaxing from the moment I walked in. I'll definitely be back, simply for the ambiance, lobby bar, emporium, gift shop and signature comfortable beds. My one gripe about the Davenport hotels is why don't you provide more bed coverings? It's the most comfortable bed but not when all you're covered with is a sheet. I've never understood that but am disappointingly reminded every time. Please add a comforter for a truly dreamy experience.

Skip the bar. It's a nice setting but awful service. I waited 45 minutes for one order of sliders. Eventually, as soon as I cancelled them they arrived, but I told the server I cancelled because they took 45 minutes. Her response? Do you want a box? Best part is they didn't take them off the bill. They definitely could do better. Nice ceiling though.

My husband and I had a nice stay at this property recently. The check in process was a little awkward with only two people working the front desk and the line of people checking in going outside to the valet stand. The automatic sliding doors stayed open and in freezing weather that's not ideal. The line moved fairly quickly but there's not a lot of space and standing outside in the valet area quickly clogs up car pick up as well. Overall it's a beautiful hotel with great historic charm. Our room was quite big and comfortable. The room was clean and the bathroom was big with a great shower and tub. I was looking forward to experiencing their mattresses after hearing lots of hype about them but didn't find them that incredible. The indoor pool and hot tub were nice and the spa is great. Overall it's a nice hotel that I'd recommend to friends and family.

First the good. The hotel is old-timey and beautiful, especially during Christmas. They have a gorgeous new '20's style lobby bar, emporium, pool, and spa. Everything you need and a lot of walkable places, although the homeless make that less desirable. Our room was equally beautiful. The bad: went to the Lobby Bar for a drink before dinner and the staff were not friendly or attentive. Took them over 5 minutes while one guy was making drinks right in front of us without so much as a word. A couple came in after we were finally spoken to by the female bartender and the guy standing in front of us still making drinks immediately started speaking to them as they seemed to be have been in before; what a slap in the face. Our bartender didn't say anything to us except that she was eavesdropping and heard us talking about a great meal we had and wanted to know where. Not impressed and wouldn't go back. For the room itself, the bed is not very comfortable and is very lumpy. When we got to our room a table light was out and the battery on the safe was dead and they had to replace the whole safe. First stay and would stay again but their staff needs work at the bar.

Tiffany my server was friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is old world European architecture. I had the Davenport Crab Louis which was fresh and flavorful. What a treat to have this dish where it originated! Historic, upscale but not stuffy, great food and accommodating friendly outgoing staff.

Hmm well all I can say is that numerous people said this was the nicest hotel in town, and I'm still waiting to feel this way. In fact I'm on night two of a 3 night stay and I'm still waiting for it to NOT be one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed at. So, shall we start? 1. Quite a lot of the lobby is under some sort of renovation, and if you look at the gilded ceiling your mind can imagine the lobby once being very grand, once your eyes are level with the walls and make-shift facades, grandness is erased and you just feel like you're in a construction zone. 2. Palm Court Grille, this restaurant is cold, a/c to the max. The clam chowder is basically the base of French onion soup with clams. 3. Lemon drops from peacock. The single best thing I've experienced at the hotel. 4. Day 2 I had the valet bring my car to the front. It was covered with this soot like sticky substance. I asked the valet about it, he remarked there might have been work being done. The next valet I talk to about it after I spent 30 bucks at the car wash argued me down insinuating I just didn't realize my car was sticky when I brought it to the hotel but of course I'd only notice this sticky condition when picking up from valet?!? How insulting, if you don't have the grace to apologize, or the power to rectify, why not just acknowledge, but he thought it would be best to argue 5. A family with a loud abusive father is of course sharing a wall. His loud abusive profanity woke me up a couple of times and I had to call the front desk but hello, that's just weird albeit not the hotels fault, but definitely not adding to the experience. 6. Dirty bathroom, seems like there are dried loogies or boogers on the bathroom walls 7. Tried to order one of those great lemon drops to not be bummed about being stuck one more evening and guess what? They aren't accepting orders because they are busy. So, unlike other Marriott properties, room service is entirely dependent on their business volume. This property needs to go to hotel boot camp. A complete renovation with new carpeting would also be appropriate.

Absolutely gorgeous hotel. Beautiful architecture. Located downtown, this is the nicest of several Davenport hotels in the immediate area. I stayed three nights. This one has an indoor pool and spa. Not all do. Secure valet parking. Wonderful front desk personnel. Same for the service in the bar and restaurant areas. There was no mini fridge in the room, but I was told the front desk could provide one if needed. The room was spacious, with two Queen beds, as requested. Plenty of outlets and USB ports to plug or charge most anything. Odd thing was housekeeping. My second day I saw that the towels had been replaced and the trash emptied. But the beds seemed in disarray. The main sheet was pulled up, but incompletely tucked under the mattress in a rushed way. Pillows were haphazardly tossed on top. I assumed that the housekeeper was pulled away for some reason and forgot to return. I mentioned this to the front desk and told them I didn't need special service, but to simply alert Housekeeping for the next day. I was told it would be handled. The next day the same thing happened. See the attached pics. So now I'm thinking that perhaps there's not regular housekeeping service, but merely towel service. That would explain everything. Though I didn't see this noted anywhere, and the front desk wasn't aware. The beds were extra comfy, though, and I got a wonderful sleep. You can actually purchase a new, custom mattress and linens at their shop next to the front desk and have them shipped anywhere. A portion of your stay will discount the purchase as well. Very reasonably priced. Lastly, they make the BEST soft peanut brittle there! Wonderful for gift giving or to eat yourself. Chocolate or plain. Delicious!

Beautiful, old world charm. Comfortable, beds a delight. Should have a frig for seniors meds. Definitely need better communication for parking availability. But the beauty unsurpassed

Very nice and full of charm. Wish downtown Spokane felt a little safer, but the hotel has valet parking.

The new Lobby Bar in the Historic Davenport Hotel is amazing. It is by far the classiest bar for meeting, conversation, drinks light fare in all of Spokane. A relatively new bartender, Stephen Ryan, is amazing. He is always friendly, courteous and professional. He provides very fast service. His knowledge of cocktails is amazing and is always able to recommend just drink for my wife to match perfectly with her mood and what we are eating. If you are in downtown Spokane, make sure to try the Historic Davenport Lobby Bar. And ask for Stephen Ryan.

Only giving this 5 stars because of the service and staff! Absolutely stellar individuals that are the best of the best!! However the room quality and cleanliness of the Apartment Suite is about a 2/3 out of 5. The thick layer of spit and bacteria growth behind the bathroom faucet is groooooooosssss! It's still there. We covered it with a wash cloth the couches are so broke down you fall into them. Same story with the king bed. I've stayed in multiple other Davenport rooms and those beds are great. This bed is not. For the cost of this suite, please do better.

I stayed here for 2 nights for the first time. I felt the history as soon as I entered the hotel. The woman at the reception desk quickly and politely gave me my room key card. My room was room 516. The room is large, with a TV, sofas, desk, 4 large windows, and a king-sized bed. The bathroom was also spacious and I filled up the hot tub every night. It was a little too wide for me, but it was better than being narrow. The bed sheets were of good quality, but the six pillows were too soft and uncomfortable. I tried making Starbucks coffee using the coffee maker in the room, but it didn't taste good, so I went to the Starbucks in the lobby on the first floor and had a cappuccino. The good thing about this room was that the phone charger was fast. During my two-day stay, I received $20 meal voucher each day and a free wine tasting voucher. I recommend that you use it if you receive it. Just be aware that you will be charged additional property fees (Tourism fee: USD 5 per accommodation, per night *Destination fee: USD 20 per accommodation, per night after you finally check out of the hotel. I ate at the restaurant in the hotel and was satisfied with the very good service. I would like to stay here again when I come to Spokane.

Elegant. Well managed. Overall put together. While on my trip I got the luxury of staying at the Davenport Hotel. The second I walked in I was struck by its beauty. Its animal and gold themed rooms added to the luxurious experience that makes this hotel worth the stay. Every second I could see staff being attentive to all guests and room service did an amazing job at making sure the rooms were well kept.

Beautiful, and timeless, with exceptional customer service. The hotel is clean cozy with lots of explore. The 24/hour gym is great with plenty of equipment for all needs, the gym could definitely use a deep cleaning though. Everything was dirty and the floors in particular needed some serious help. There are additional expenses to plan for when staying here: a daily parking fee of $25-$35, a daily amenities fee of $25, a daily $15 fee for a refrigerator, and a daily $15 fee for a microwave. You will want to bring your own water as it's pricey to purchase water through the hotel. The rooms are comfortable with nice soaps, and a great bed. But the pillows are absolutely awful and completely flat. If you can I highly recommend you bring your own pillow from home. The hotel has a lovely spa that is well worth the investment, and was the highlight of my trip. We would likely stay at a different hotel downtown if we were to come back this way.

On Friday, September 27th I went to the new bar at the Historic hotel for drinks and appetizers with friends. One of the items we ordered was the chicken lollipops. When they arrived at the table, I ate one off of the pick and was surprised at the soft, gooey tetxture; I was expecting more of a meaty bite. We cut the remaining meatballs open and discovered they were completely raw inside (photo attached). Although the exterior was clearly browned and cooked, the interior was not cooked at all. I had just eaten a mouthful of raw chicken, and felt the "unpleasant" after-effects throughout the following weekend. While the lollipops were comped on our bill, no manager came to the table to apologize and subsequent attempts to speak with management at the hotel have gone unanswered. The feedback form on the Historic website is not functioning at all, despite several attempts to submit a message using different browsers and different devices. I phoned the restaurant manager's office three times this past week and left a voicemail each time with information about what had occurred, asking that someone return my call. I have not received a call back, which has led to this negative review. I am not a person to post negative feedback or comments, but this is beyond the pale. Needless to say, I am incredibly shocked and disappointed in your establishment. Since the reopening of the Historic hotel, I have often frequented your restaurants and bars as well as attended many events there over the years. I will now think twice about that in the future.

Im giving three stars because I left my insulin the fridge in my room and they threw two bottles of insulin away and I have not head back from anyone about it. I recently spent a few days at the Historic and I loved it. The staff are kind, the atmosphere is amazing, the food is questionable. I ordered the duck breast and it was honestly the nastiest meal I have ever had in my life.

Place was really neat. The architecture was amazing. Love this old hotel . They don't make them like this anymore

Probably the best place to stay in downtown Spokane. Comfortable, central location, and Marriott points makes this an easy choice. My recent stay was comfortable and convenient. Quiet rooms and nice bed for a good night's sleep is what I wanted and it delivered again.

The hotel is gorgeous. However, we will not be returning. We made reservations months ago to be at the hotel for 2 nights to attend their NY Eve party. When we checked in at 4 p.m., we were told there wasn't a room available. After an hour, we went back to the desk, and still no room available. We finally got into our room. The water glasses were dirty, and even lipstick was still on the glasses. Called the front desk, and glasses were delivered but still not very clean and fingerprints all over them from the person who brought them. My husband got into the tub, and the soap dispenser was empty. We alerted the front desk, and it wasn't corrected. The light in the bathroom made an odd loud noise all night. We alerted the front desk, and it wasn't corrected. The next day, our room had been serviced, but unbelievablably poorly. A pile of towels placed on the tub, our bed straightened but not remade, our used dirty wine glasses not removed. Service in the Palm Court for breakfast was poor. We waited over 10 minutes for a server to acknowledge us. The valet service was excellent. All departments, with the exception of the valet, appear to be mismanaged, short staffed, or a combination. We spoke to other guests, and they all agreed that their experience was the same of staying at the Davenport. It just isn't the same as it was in the past. I hope management will read this and make some serious improvements. The hotel is such a beautiful place, and it is such a shame that the hotel guest experience isn't what it should be.

This hotel has seen better days--like, way better. It's been on a downhill slide for the past five years, and I gave them a pass during COVID, but now it's like they're auditioning for a horror movie. At first, I thought it was a prank, or maybe they just forgot to clean the room. But no, it was real. Here's a highlight reel of my stay in room 913 from 8/1-8/3: An empty (used) water bottle playing hide-and-seek behind the nightstand. Toenail clippings next to the bed, because who doesn't love a surprise pedicure? A ripped seat cushion that looks like it lost a fight with a wolverine. Mystery white stains on the blanket--I'll let your imagination run wild on that one. An electrical outlet hanging out of the wall in the bathroom, adding a touch of danger to your morning routine.

Nice hotel we stayed in the tower and visited the older hotel across the street. Service has been terrific.

I love this hotel. It's worth a trip to Spokane just to stay there! Restored in the early 2000s, you truly feel like you have been transported to the early 1900s, but without losing any modern amenities. The location, only a few blocks from Riverfront Park and just down from the South Hill, is also great. Wonderful restaurants in the Hotel, and many nearby in revitalized downtown Spokane. The staff was also amazing. Particular cudos to Jacob, who went above and beyond. I agree with President Taft, who once said it was the best hotel he had ever stayed at!

Lets start with the most important feature, the pillows are terrible. Once your head hits it, all the air in their balloon pillows lets out. They have pamphlets on how to "buy your mattress" our mattress was on a 10 degree angle the entire stay. Was not enjoyable nor luxurious. The bathroom/shower was very nice as was the location of the hotel.

Classic hotel with 5 star EVERYTHING!! Best part is the historical photos on all of the walls that tell the story of the hotel. Service, food and amenities were unparalleled!

This was definitely not a luxury hotel. We had a two night stay in November and initially thought it was going to be great. Quickly went down hill from there. So many little things. The unwanted/unrequested wake-up call at 6:00 am the first night, the lack of maid service even after speaking with someone at the front desk TWICE! Dirty diapers and garbage in the hallways left unattended to. Paper cups for coffee in the morning. The lobby bar- bartenders actually telling us that the food wasn't very good as he set down the menu. Ordered a French 75 and a cup of coffee but were told they weren't allowed to serve coffee???? Made us go to the coffee shop to get a cup of coffee. Second day again with the wake up call! Really pissed by this point. Expect much much more from a luxury brand. Won't be back and will reconsider any Marriott property in the future.

We checked into our room which was dated but seemed nice enough. When I turned down the bed, as others have reviewed here, there were FRESH blood spots on the bed. Like someone was picking their back and laid down. This was not a dirty room like the room wasn't ready yet, the bed was MADE as if it was changed, but obviously the sheets were never changed. So gross. Even grosser to read the other people here with the same experience. We called down to the front desk, where they were not surprised or apologetic, just asked if we wanted new sheets or a new room. Gross. So gross. We got a new room. We were not offered an apology or any sort of credit to anything. The new room was basic with zero view but at least the bed was clean. The bathroom however was not. Luckily we only had 2 nights here bc it was pretty bad. The valet guys were super nice though. The front desk was not helpful. What happened here? It used to be so cool!

Our second stay here at this classic historic hotel. The lobby, the Palm Court Grill, the Peacock room, the historic walking tour of the hotel, all are unforgettable for their beauty and unique history.

We visit Historic Davenport every year, during PNQ, for the Cougar Gold Cheese Dip and Whiskey Love the ambiance!

Beautiful hotel. But I went down in sweats and a T-shirt because I've been in business class all day and I just wanted to be comfortable. I literally sat there for 40 minutes before I even got something on my table! Not happy. I paid way too much for this hotel to be treated like crap.

Love, love, love this place. Always clean. Service is great, rooms are incredible. Lots of history here.

There's so much history behind the hotel. Note there are several Davenport Hotel so make sure you are looking at the Historic located on Post. The hotel was originally opened in 1914, closed in 1985 and was ready to be demolished in 2000 when it was purchased and was completed gutted and rooms rebuilt and reopened in 2002. There's so much history and you can see it and feel it as soon as you walk in. I was there mid-Dec so the Christmas decorations added to the beauty of the lobby. The rooms have older fixtures and furniture which fit the historic theme. Although furniture is not modern, rooms is well kept and not run down. Bathroom is very spacious including a huge shower. Great location as it located in Downtown Spokane and it walkable to many restaurants, bars and shopping mall.

This is written by someone who grew up in the area and has watched The Davenport's transformation. Zipping ahead a few decades, I've stayed here from time to time during the hotel's early Y2K restoration heyday, to its current ownership/management by Marriott. The Historic Davenport remains a beautifully-restored and historic place for those interested in checking out its nooks and crannies. During my recent stay I encountered staff who were a broad mix of enthusiasm and helpfulness toward guests. Time and economics have taken their toll on the upkeep, but it's still a gem.

This is a venerable hotel, a vestige of the past. While we usually enjoy hotels with a modern design, I took a chance on the Historic Davenport. The cavernous entrance was confusing at first, but soon I found the valet parking and Scott, the engaging bell captain, helped us with all our stuff. Our room was large, with a "historical" design. Not our taste, but comfortable enough. There was no refrigerator, but we asked housekeeping to deliver one. Our dog needs his meds refrigerated. We had drinks and dinner in the Peacock Room, a down to earth bar more reminiscent of the Midwest than the Cascades or Rockies. It was great. Perhaps the bed was a bit soft, but all in all we had a nice stay at the Historic Davenport.

Beautiful hotel. Perfect. Not much more to say. The Peacock bar is amazing. I can't wait to go back.

Weekend at the Historic, oh we love the Davenport; all locations (Grand, Tower and Historic) they are just beautiful, elegant, peaceful, classy, etc etc. you are always treated lime your important.

My husband and I stayed at the Historic Davenport in the Cutter Suite last week when we were in town to see Les Miserables. Sit back and get comfortable because I have a lot to say! First - the look of the hotel. I don't know what kind of decoration styles are what but I can say that this hotel is BEAUTIFUL. It reminds me on the inside and outside of something you'd see on Downton Abbey or the Gilded Age (Rococo maybe?). It was the prettiest hotel I've ever seen in the U.S. so far! Next - the room. We decided to splurge on a suite since it was our first time getting away since we had kids and it did not disappoint! The room has a beautiful bathroom with a deep, jetted tub and a very nice, big, walk-in shower with L'Occitane shower products. I was thrilled that they were available for purchase in the gift shop because I was obsessed with the shower gel so I got a couple of bottles. The room has a king-size bed in a separate bedroom with a fancy bed frame and a TV. The bed itself was RIDICULOUSLY comfortable. I suffer from chronic pain that keeps me awake 5/7 nights of the week. I got my first (unmedicated) pain-free sleep in 2 years. I was so happy that I didn't want to go home back to my old bed, so we purchased one of their mattresses which were for sale through the gift shop. The separate kitchenette and sitting room was very nice and my husband enjoyed chilling with his laptop while I took advantage of being pain free and slept. :) One thing that would have made the room even better would have been an electric tea kettle. I drink many cups of tea during the day and it would have been lovely to have access to a quick cuppa in my room. There is a Keurig machine, but I had to run water through it many times before it ran clear and it still wasn't as hot as I would have liked. One thing to look out for is on the beautiful counters in the kitchenette. The lovely marble hides stains; I accidentally put my hand in ketchup and mustard that the guests who stayed there before us left behind. Oops! I mentioned directly to the hotel that they might want to have the housekeeping staff put it as part of the checklist to wipe those counters after each guest whether or not it looks like it needs it since it hides things so well. Finally! - food. The hotel has a couple of different restaurants and lounges but we only ate at the Palm Court. Twice for breakfast and once for supper. For the breakfasts we had the eggs Benedict, Davenport Breakfast, and Oatmeal. For supper we shared a prawn cocktail and cheese dip and prime rib. Egg Benedict - perfectly poached eggs! Davenport Breakfast - delicious sausage and I love the honey whipped butter and berry jam you get! Oatmeal - is it weird to sing the praises of oatmeal? This was literally the best oatmeal I've ever had in my entire life. I've been trying to recreate it at home all week ever since. It's steel cut oats that they give you with cream, raisins, brown sugar, and the server suggested some banana too and it made it epic. (Again, I didn't think I'd be singing the praises of oatmeal but there it is!) Tea service at every breakfast was exactly what it should be! Cheese dip - yum!!! Prawn cocktail - good! Prime rib - we wish we had gotten the ribeye instead but there was nothing wrong with the prime rib. It was still delicious - it's just a matter of personal preference. Ok! You still here? Really?! Wow, I must be better at this than I thought! Anyway, if you're ever in Spokane, as Donna and Tom would say - Treat Yoself!

The iconic Davenport did not disappoint! From the room, beds, amenities, etc to the lobby to meet up for coffee or drinks! Loved the experience!

This is a beautiful hotel and the level of service is appropriate for a fine hotel. Everything was great EXCEPT for the pillows. We laughed when our friend, the groom to be, purchased pillows at a local store. He had come into Spokane a few days earlier and was complaining about the pillows. As soon as we got to bed, we knew exactly what he was talking about. The rooms and public areas are all extremely well decorated and beautifully kept. However, everything else is amazing at this hotel. Right when you drive up, the valet's are right on with their friendly and quick introduction. Went into the lobby and the building design is incredible. We were quickly able to get signed in and into our rooms. There are so many great restaurants in the area and a short 3 to 4 block walk had us at the river/dam and we were able to go onto the gondolas. We also walked long the river and it felt pretty safe where ever we explored. Inside the hotel is a great bar, the Peacock and we tried to get into the Palm restaurant but we did not make reservations [wait, I thought you were going to make the...] so the wait was over an hour and a half. Those that did make reservations and did NOT rely on their friends [is that passive aggressive] all said it was very good.

Let me start by saying the accommodations, food, and staff on location were wonderful. However, I was startled to see my booking at this top tier and expensive location increase by over 45% due to "taxes and fees". These additional fees were not clarified in my original booking or any of the associated emails, and when I asked for a full invoice at the hotel I was told they didn't have it--that since I booked directly through the hotel's website, I was subject to a third party's booking fees, and I would have saved those fees if I had booked through Marriott's website (and only at the end of The Davenport's long home page is there any mention that it is a Marriot property). That is the polar opposite of all my other travel booking experiences. I called the third party booking agency on my return, and while they did finally send an invoice at my request, it also didn't list the individual fees--just an aggregate figure. I was so irritated that I looked up Spokane's hotel and sales taxes, which appear to total about 12%. I had assumed that some of these additional fees were resort fees, internet, or meal packages, but I learned I paid those in my base fee, and then a resort fee when I checked out. I'm fine with treating my family to a stay in a nice hotel, but the additional ~30% bump feels like gratuitous gouging.

The Historic Davenport is fabulous! We'd stopped into the Peacock Room for cocktails during our first visit to Spokane a few years back and swore we'd stay at this classic hotel next time we came to town ~ and we did just that earlier this month. Splurged on the ~amazing~ Cutter Suite, and quite glad we did. It was very hot and extremely smoky during our visit, so we spent nearly all of our time hanging in our gorgeous corner room on the top (14th) floor. Very spacious and well appointed, with a comfortable king bed, sofa and two chairs, 2-sided gas fireplace, jetted tub and separate shower, and not one but two TVs (making for a very happy husband). There were also plush robes, a full sized closet complete with a safe and scrumptious smelling L'Occitane bath products. Since our flight home wasn't until 3pm on the day we departed, I inquired at check-in if they could accommodate a late check-out. Unfortunately, they could not since they were expecting new guests to arrive that afternoon. Understandable. However, I was very pleasantly surprised when the gent at the front desk provided complimentary parking during our stay as a much appreciated consolation since they couldn't give us a late check-out. Sweet! We headed down to the Peacock Room for some cocktails and tasty coconut shrimp for a little snack before dinner. Very nice service and the cocktails were expertly prepared. I booked the "Stay for Breakfast" package when I made our reservations and was pleased to learn that we could choose anything from the breakfast menu at the Palm Court Grill. I opted for the tasty Dungeness Crab Benedict to go along with a delicious Bloody Mary and nice, strong coffee. Just three things that could have improved our stay, and they were more of the annoyance variety, especially for a hotel of this caliber. First, our room did not have a wine opener. I inquired at the front desk and they had "given them all out for the day" and asked me to check in with the restaurant. Upon further inquiry, I was told I'd have to bring down my bottle of wine and they'd be happy to open it for me. Another issue was that while there were plentiful (five) pillows on the bed, they were all limp little down-filled things that just were not comfortable. Seems there should have been at least a variety of pillow types provided from which guests can select their preferred pillow, especially since there were five. Lastly, when we arrived to the Palm Court Grill for breakfast, there was a "Please Seat Yourself" sign at the hostess stand. As such, I selected a table in the amazing atrium, only to learn that they do not serve breakfast at those tables, only lunch and dinner. So we selected a high boy in the middle of the restaurant, but we're informed that we couldn't sit there, either. Honestly, put up signage that is clear, rope off areas where you don't want people to sit or just have someone actually serve as a hostess. While the annoyances may have made me ding the Historic Davenport by a half star, I'll round up because all in all, it was a splendid and 5-star experience. We look forward to returning at some point!

I have stayed here a couple of times. Each time was a pleasant experience. The staff from restaurants to front desk were all amazing. The hotel itself is beautiful. I had a chance to take a self tour was was impressed! I certainly would come back here again after trying out their more modern hotel location. The service here can not be beat!
