The Davenport and Tower is an awesome hotel and is one of the nicest I've ever stayed in. We stayed for 2 nights in the Tower. Our room was decorated beautifully in an African safari motif. The shower was a tiled European styled walk in. The bathroom sink was seprate from the commode and shower and had a really nice marble counter top and fixtures and a really nice vanity mirror. The Safari Lounge in the Tower was nice and upscale. The lobby has a large seating area and fireplace, all with marble floors. We used the town car service twice while we stayed.
The Davenport itself was also very nice as others in our party stayed there. I'm not normally a fan of that type of decor (having stayed at the Sir Francis Drake in SF years ago) but I really fell in love with the Davenport. They definately changed my mind. We had wonderful cocktails and appetizers in the Peacock Lounge, which has live music on weekends.
The history of the Davenport is also interesting if you're into history and such. Just sitting in the lobby you feel transported back to another era.
Both the Davenport and Tower are located within walking distance from banking, shopping, dining and nightlife. Plus the town car service can deliver you almost anywhere you need to go.
The Davenport is not for the budget minded but if you're looking for a an upscale hotel or romantic getaway it's for you. I want to go back around Christmas/New Years just to see how they decorate the hotel.
Luxury hotel - I do not think so!

This was a very bad experience. The place was renovated but should have been tore down. The staff was arrogant and rude. The room was way overpriced, and this is coming from someone who has no problem paying money for a room at the Ritz Carleton when available in my travels.
The hotel had an odor of mothballs and moldy cheese, it was really rather disgusting. I am searching for a new hotel in Spokane, a nice little town, that does not reek of a bad odor and even worse of a poor attempt and bringing back some historic time period.
Horrible Customer Service

We had to cancel a reservation less than 24 hours after making it and we were told we would have to pay up and could not make a change of date either. This call finally made it up to the GM and she was quite smug in being of little help, we did get the date changed finally. We were so distraught about the whole ordeal that we decided to cancel all-together. My wife called to cancel and was told it was a done deal -- great! But actually not. They called me on my cell phone four times w/out leaving a message and finally on the 5th call from an unknow number left a msg for me. When I called I was told again, quite smugly, "Do you want to cancel your reservation or what?" WOW, I was amazed at the absolute smug and rude attitude that I was being given. Major frustration and due to this simple 'company policy' as I am constantly told about, I will never stay at this hotel again and promised them I would tell as many people as I could about this experience...so here I am. Be warned, make sure your travel plans don't change as you will be out of luck....never had this level of poor customer service at any other high end hotel I have stayed at. Cheers.
Tower was disappointing

I have stayed at the Davenport previously and wanted to take my husband there for his birthday to experience the beautiful rooms and overall feeling of the wonderful hotel. There was a discount offered for staying in the new Tower with the promise that the same quality of room was provided in the Tower as in the main hotel. The Tower room decor was tacky. Besides the wall size mirror behind the bed, there were overly bright spot lights focusing on the bed. The promised spa bathroom was nothing like the glorious spa bath of the main hotel: It was a tiny closet with a typically small hotel shower. By all means stay at the Davenport, but be sure you stay in the main hotel. It is a wonderful, elegant, beautiful place to stay. The Tower doesn't hold a candle to it.

It is part of the history of Spokane. beautifully restorred. The staff were quick to meet every need. Room service (foods) were terric.
We enjoyed everything so much that we have stayed there twice within 6 weeks (We took our small dog with us one of our visits - Very pet friendly.)
The rooms are spacious. The beds are wonderful.
We intend to visit again soon.
