The Historic Davenport

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 12 Sep 2011 rated 9 out of 10.

The hotel was very well decorated and the meal specials were a very good deal. The tower has a safari theme and the main hotel has a very upscale and old historical feel. The ballrooms and upper walk ways were full of old photos that you could browse almost like a museum. I saw pictures of royalty, presidents and world record breakers. I would definitely stay here again if I was in the Spokane area.

Positives: There were a lot of historical pictures and items that made the hotel more appealing.

Negatives: There are two sections of the hotel separated by a street. You have to walk outside to get to each section.

Positives: The food was great.

Negatives: Liked everything.

The Davenport Hotel, Spokane is a masterpiece in hospitality, whether you are looking for a romantic getaway for the weekend or looking for exceptional service as a business traveler the Davenport will not disappoint. Having traveled through the United States for 15 days this was the icing on the cake. Staff was courteous and professional in all departments, the menu at the Safari Grill excelled itself in choice, quality and most surprisingly, in price too. As for the building itself (both tower and main building) these were an architectural gem. No aspect seems to have been overlooked and even the beds provided us with the best nights rest on our travel. Highly recommended. We'll be back.

Positives: Exceeded my expectations in service and quality.

Negatives: Parking at tower was confusing. Valet service did not lock my vehicle.

This is a great hotel. I've stayed at the Davenport numerous times due to the friendly & responsive staff, cleanliness throughout the entire hotel, great food, service, location (I can walk to most places I need to go to). Value for the money, and the Davenport bed. I always sleep well at the Davenport. In fact, I may buy one of their beds. This is one of the best hotels in the nation, and I've stayed at a few of the nation's best. Don't hesitate to come and stay. Well worth it.

Positives: Always clean and quiet. Beds.

Negatives: Nothing.

Overall the hotel had great service. The room was very beautiful, and well appointed. The restaurant service was good and the help in the gift shop, the valets, the town car service, the front desk, the doorman and the bellhop were all really great.

Positives: Consistent friendliness of the staff.

Negatives: Everything was perfect, but valet service was a little slow.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful, well restored historic hotel. The staff is friendly, the food is fantastic (try the tenderloin) and the atmosphere is one of elegance of days gone by. Every inch of this hotel has been restored to its classic beauty, but still it contains all of the modern conveniences you'd expect from a great hotel. Be sure to take the time to explore this building, especially the second floor with its ballrooms, photographs, and historic displays. The davenport is a destination in itself!

Positives: Beautiful, well restored historic landmark with all of the modern conveniences.

Negatives: Poor wireless signal in our room.

Room was nice. Parking was misleading having to pay! Brochure says "access to parking¿ not included in room price though. Biggest complaint was having to walk and weave through people each night to access elevator to room. Very odd banquets could not be held in banquet rooms.

Positives: Quiet.

Negatives: Misuse of lobby and pay to park.

I booked a room @ the davenport hotel, not understanding (since we were unfamiliar with Spokane) that our room was actually across the street in another building. The staff was very nice in helping us check in at the correct desk at the towers and moved our car to that garage also. All in all it was a learning experience and a great hotel. We will stay there again.

Positives: Very newly decorated and extremely clean.

Negatives: Didn't quite understand the African safari theme. Although it was nicely done.

Wonderful from the time I entered to check in. Genuinely courteous and helpful staff for all levels of staff. Front desk was ready and supportive with a pleasant smile. Facility seems to ooze an aura of pleasant memories of grand days. Facility is very functional and met our needs for conference held on site entire week. Rooms were exquisite and well laid out. Bed was very comfortable with what (I believe) is a pillow top type mattress. As far as ambiance, this would be the place where I would take my wife to propose. It is a memorable place with excellent facilities and an excellent staff. Overall, this has been the greatest hotel experience of my 53 years. I hope to come back some day from the east and bring my wife to share the experience.

Positives: I was pleased to see the use of room key card for floor access on elevator.

Negatives: None whatsoever!

If you would like to stay in a hotel that is worthy of being a destination in itself, let alone in the hip and fun town of Spokane, the Davenport is the place for you.

Positives: This Hotel is easily one of the best in the world. History, Beauty, Service, Excellence.

Negatives: Nothing.

The Davenport is one of the fanciest places to stay in Spokane. I stayed there for my birthday (Summer 2005). We had a great time. The rooms were clean and the staff was helpful. I'd say the only thing that surprised me was that the standard room was a little smaller than I expected. But everything was very elegant and romantic. The main entry area is very classy and ornate with beautiful flower arrangements and artwork. It is a bit pricey but, for a romantic evening in Spokane, it was worth it.

Positives: Very tastefully decorated.

Negatives: Standard room was a bit smaller than I anticipated.
