Spokane Airport's BEST Kept Secret: SpringHill Suites Review!
Spokane Airport's BEST Kept Secret: SpringHill Suites Review - Let's Get Real! (Seriously, It's Good)
Alright, folks. Let's talk SpringHill Suites at the Spokane Airport. Forget sterile travel reviews; this is real. I’ve been through the ringer with airport hotels – the dingy carpets, the flickering lights, the breakfast that tastes suspiciously like sadness. But SpringHill Suites? It’s… different. Let's dive in, warts and all, because honestly, everyone loves a good warts and all review, right?
First Impressions & Accessibility: Easy Peasy (and Wheelchair Friendly!)
Getting there is a breeze, and that’s HUGE when you’re exhausted from flying. Airport transfer? They got it. Car park – yep, FREE. (Praise be!) They also got a car power charging station, which is chef's kiss for the EV crowd.
Accessibility is legit. Elevators? Check. Facilities for disabled guests? Double check. I saw people whizzing around in wheelchairs, and everyone seemed comfortable and well-cared-for. The exterior corridors make everything easier, especially if you're navigating with mobility aids. Getting to your room is stress-free.
Rooms: Not Just a Place to Crash (and the Wi-Fi is a Sweet, Sweet Dream)
The room itself is a solid B+. It's spacious, well-lit, and actually clean. (Important!) You have a separate seating area, which is great for spreading out or even just doing your travel yoga. (Don't judge me). Blackout curtains are a lifesaver for beating jet lag.
Now, the real hero? FREE Wi-Fi in all rooms! And it’s actually USEABLE. Not that dial-up-in-2002 garbage you find at some hotels. This is fast, reliable Wi-Fi. I could stream Netflix, work, and catch up with the world without wanting to throw my laptop out the window. Big win. And if you actually need wired internet (LAN) access, that's available too. Talk about options.
They've got all the basics: air conditioning that actually works, a comfy bed (extra long, even!), a mini-fridge to chill your essential beverages, a safe, and a coffee/tea maker. Oh, and those little bottles of free water? They're clutch.
Cleanliness & Safety: They're Taking It Seriously (Thank Goodness)
This is huge, folks. Especially these days. SpringHill Suites gets it. They have anti-viral cleaning products, rooms sanitized between stays, and daily disinfection in common areas. You can even opt out of room sanitization if you prefer, which is a nice touch of respect.
They’ve got a ton of safety features: smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, 24-hour security, and CCTV. Plus, the staff is trained in safety protocols. Makes you feel, you know, safe. Hand sanitizer is everywhere. Essential.
Dining, Drinking, & Snacking: More Than Just Pre-Packaged Chaos!
Okay, let's talk food. The breakfast situation is a serious step up from most airport hotels. You get a breakfast buffet, plus a breakfast takeaway service if you're in a rush. There's a mix of Western and Asian options, with both a la carte and buffet choices. They serve coffee and tea, of course, and there’s even a coffee shop on site.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. They have a poolside bar! (Don't tell my boss). I grabbed a drink and slumped down by the pool. They also have a snack bar. You can get soup, salads, and even desserts. I'm not saying the food will win any Michelin stars, but it's miles better than the usual pre-packaged junk.
And there's 24-hour room service, which is a godsend when you're battling jet lag at 3 AM.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Beyond the Hotel Room (Gasp!)
Okay, so you're stuck in Spokane for a bit. What now? They've got a decent fitness center, which is great for burning off those airport-induced stress calories. A swimming pool (outdoor)! (And a pool with a view!). Unfortunately, the other spa amenities (sauna, steamroom, massage) weren't available, which was disappointing.
Services & Conveniences: They Thought of Everything (Almost)
Concierge? Check. Daily housekeeping? You betcha. Laundry and dry cleaning? Yep. They even have a convenience store. They have the usual things – a business center, facilities for disabled guests, and all that jazz. But what really shines is the level of customer service. The staff is friendly, helpful, and actually cares. They feel human.
For the Kids: Family Friendly (and Babysitting?)
I saw a lot of families there, which is always a good sign. They even had kids facilities and kids meals available! I don't have kids myself, but I give them props for this.
The Quirks & the Imperfections (Because Let's Keep It Real)
Alright, no hotel is perfect. My room door stuck a bit. The gym could’ve used a few more free weights (but hey, it has a gym!). The pool could’ve been a little warmer. And the lighting in the hallways felt a bit…hospital-ish. But these are MINOR quibbles.
My Biggest Takeaway: You Won’t Feel Like You’re Just Surviving
At the end of the day, SpringHill Suites at Spokane Airport delivers on its promise: comfort, convenience, and a surprisingly pleasant stay. They aren't trying to nickel and dime you. They're providing real value.
The Emotional Verdict: Above Average (But Still Honest)
Look, it’s not the Ritz. But it’s also not a nightmare. It's clean, comfortable, and functional. It feels like a place you can actually relax. I’d give it a solid 8.5/10. Very, very good for an airport hotel. And I’d absolutely stay there again.

Thailand's Hottest Escape: Private Pool Villa in Ao Nang!
Alright, buckle up, because planning this trip to the Springhill Suites by Marriott Spokane Airport, well, it's been a journey in itself. My brain's a bit like a tangled ball of yarn, so this itinerary might wander a bit. Sorry, not sorry. Here we go, raw and real…
SPRINGHILL SUITES BY MARRIOTT SPOKANE AIRPORT: A MESSY, HONEST, AND (HOPEFULLY) FUN JOURNEY
Day 1: Arrival and Airport Shenanigans (aka, I'm Always Late)
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: The Great Spokane Shuffle (aka, Getting There)
- Okay, so the plan was to be at the airport by noon. Let's just say my "efficient packing" skills are more of a myth than a reality. I blame the socks – why do they always escape their pairs?! Anyway, after a frantic search for my phone, a near-miss with a runaway suitcase, and a silent prayer to the travel gods, I finally arrived at the airport.
- Impression: Spokane Airport isn't exactly glamorous, but it's efficient. Found my luggage within minutes. Victory!
2:00 PM - 2:30 PM: Shuttle to the Hotel (and Praying for Decent Wifi)
- Thankfully, the Springhill Suites has a free airport shuttle. Score! I'm not sure about the seats as they're a little worn. The driver seemed nice and I really need to get into this travel space.
- Quirky Observation: The shuttle smelled faintly of pine and desperation. That's the scent of travel, right?
- Emotional Reaction: I'm a bit wired from the rush, so I'm really hoping the hotel has good Wi-Fi. My online presence is a total mess.
2:30 PM - 3:00 PM: Check-In and Room Exploration
- Checked in. Super fast!
- Impression: The lobby is… well, it's a hotel lobby. Clean, functional, and with a vaguely pre-packaged smell. The staff was pleasant, which is a huge plus when I'm already stressed.
- Room Revelation: Ok, the room is standard Springhill Suites – a little beige, a little predictable, but hey, it's clean and has a comfy-looking bed. I'm happy. The view? Parking lot. But you know, it is what it is.
- Impression: The bed has a lot of pillows which is a plus.
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Unpacking (Eventually) and Brief Hotel Reconnaissance
- Okay, the actual unpacking part is probably going to happen in the morning.
- Imperfection: I threw my suitcase on the bed and immediately sat down. First things first: coffee needs to be made.
- Hotel Scan: I wandered around the hotel a bit.
- Emotional Reaction: All hotels are the same sometimes and this one reminds me of a hotel stay I had in high school.
4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Pool Time (Or Attempted Pool Time)
- The pool is inside. I think my body is screaming to go swimming. I am going to go swimming.
Day 2: Downtown Spokane, or Bust! (And Maybe Some Coffee… or Two)
7:00 AM - 8:00 AM: The Free Breakfast Debacle (A Morning Comedy)
- Free hotel breakfasts are a gamble. I’m hoping for some decent coffee and maybe, just maybe, a waffle that's not rock-hard.
- Anecdote: Last time I relied on a free hotel breakfast, the "fruit" was mostly bruised apples, and the "juice" tasted suspiciously like flavored water. I'm prepared for anything.
- Opinionated Language: Okay, this is it. Breakfast!
- Impression: The mini waffles are definitely a gamble.
8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Getting My bearings
- Quirky Observation: The hotel had a lot of people. I need to go for a walk.
- Opinionated Language: Coffee, now!
- Emotional Reaction: Some days I just like being alone.
9:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Downtown Spokane Exploration (Riverfront Park and Beyond!)
- Rambling: I’m thinking of going to Riverfront Park.
- Emotional Reaction: I will be so happy when I finish this trip.
- City exploration! I like walking around.
- Impression: The park is very nice.
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch somewhere!
- Anecdote: I saw a cool restaurant and I might try it!
1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Spokane's History
- Rambling: I am going to look at a museum or a historical site.
- Emotional Reaction: I will feel like I learned something.
- City exploration! I like history.
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Back to the hotel.
- Impression: I am tired.
4:00 PM - Onwards: Relaxing
- Rambling: I will probably just watch tv.
- Emotional Reaction: I will take more trips in the future!
- City exploration! I like relaxation.
Day 3: Departure
7:00 AM - 8:00 AM: Sad Breakfast
- Opinionated Language: Breakfast is over.
- Emotional Reaction: I need to leave.
8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Packing
- Impression: I just want to leave.
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Check out
- Impression: It was nice to be at the hotel.
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM: Drop off
- Impression: Bye!
Final Thoughts (or, What I Learned)
This trip to the Springhill Suites by Marriott Spokane Airport might not be the most glamorous, but it was real. I got to relax, see some things, and mostly just… be. Sometimes, a little messy, human adventure is exactly what you need. And hey, at least I didn't lose all my socks this time. Mission accomplished, I guess?
Escape to Paradise: Landgasthof Linden, Germany Awaits!
SpringHill Suites at Spokane Airport: The Surprisingly Awesome Secret Nobody's Telling You (Maybe They Are, But I'm Here to Confirm!) – FAQs, Because, Seriously, Where Do I Even *Start*?
Okay, Okay, Spill: Is SpringHill Suites at GEG *Really* the Best Kept Secret? I'm Skeptical.
Alright, look, I get it. "Best Kept Secret" sounds like marketing fluff. But hear me out, because I was a skeptic too, and I'm now practically a *shouting* advocate. Consider this: I've spent more nights in airport hotels than I'm proud of (hello, life on the road!), and this SpringHill Suites? It's shockingly good. Think of it less as a hotel and more as, well, a comfortable, slightly chaotic escape. I mean, it's not perfect, we'll get to that, but it's consistently *good*. It's my, admittedly sometimes questionable, go-to after those late-night red-eye flights. Seriously, it’s a lifesaver.
What's the *Actual* Vibe? Swanky? Budget? Give me a clue!
Okay, so no, it's not swanky. Like, don't expect chandeliers and a Michelin-starred chef. It's definitely not a dive, either. Think of it more like... thoughtfully designed, comfortable, and *clean*. The lobby is bright, the staff is usually friendly (more on my one *slightly* off interaction later), and the rooms are spacious suites – hence the name. It’s got that “modern but not overly slick” vibe. Perfect for airport-weary souls, and you wouldn’t look out of place in your airport pjs there. It is, for the record, infinitely better than that one time I stayed at a hotel where the elevator made noises like a dying walrus. (Shudders.)
The Free Breakfast – Yay or Nay? Because Airport Hotels and Breakfast are a Dicey Relationship.
Okay, the breakfast. This is where the "surprisingly good" comes in again. I've seen airport hotel breakfast buffets that could curdle milk. This one? It's *decent*. They usually have the basics: eggs, some kind of meat (bacon, sausage, maybe even both!), waffles that you make yourself (a dangerous, but ultimately satisfying, power), cereal, fruit... Honestly, it's enough to get you powered up for your flight or, in my case, stumble through a very important work call. It’s not gourmet, but it's a solid, dependable start to the day. And let’s be real, sometimes all you need is a waffle and a desperate prayer for your flight to be on time.
Tell Me About the Rooms. Are They Actually Spacious Suites? Or Just Marketing BS?
This is where the magic truly lies. Yes, they *are* suites. Actual suites! Like, a separate living area with a sofa bed, a desk where you can actually spread out (crucial for me, I'm a messy worker!), a mini-fridge, and a microwave. This is a game-changer for late-night snacks (hello, leftover pizza!) and for anyone traveling with kids. The bedroom is separate, which is a godsend when you're sharing a room with someone, especially when you are tired. The beds are comfy. I've actually gotten a *good* night's sleep there, which is rarer than a unicorn sighting in hotel rooms. (Okay, maybe not *that* rare, but you get the point). One time, I was so exhausted, I slept through the fire alarm test – I swear I have never been so embarrassingly relaxed in my entire life.
Okay, Give Me the Downside. There *Has* to Be One. No Hotel is Perfect.
Alright alright, you got me. No place is perfect. Here's the lowdown: First off, the shuttle service is sometimes a little slow. It's usually fine, but I've had a couple of times where I've had to wait a bit longer than I'd like. And, let's talk about the *one* slightly off interaction I mentioned. Once, there was a mix-up with my reservation, and the front desk clerk seemed... overwhelmed. It got sorted out, but there was a moment where I definitely felt a little like I was inconveniencing her. Again, small potatoes. The place is usually perfect. One time the coffee machine was a little slow, but other than that it is pretty perfect. And look, it’s an airport hotel. You're going to hear planes taking off. It’s not a whisper-quiet mountain retreat. But it's totally manageable.
Is it Convenient to the Airport? Because "Near the Airport" Can Mean a Lot of Things.
This is the *best* part. Like, seriously, the *best*. It's, like, right there. Like, literally a five-minute shuttle ride. You can practically *see* the runway from some of the rooms (though, I've never actually tried to pinpoint my gate in there, that would be taking it a bit too far). It’s a huge win, especially when you're dragging your luggage and your soul through the airport at 6 am. No stress, no panic. Just a quick hop to the terminal. It's glorious.
What About Amenities? Pool? Gym? Because I Need My Workouts (or Pretend I Do!)
Yes, they have a pool and a gym! The pool is indoor, which is awesome for those Spokane weather days. It’s not a gigantic Olympic-sized pool, but perfectly adequate for a quick swim or a post-flight soak. And the gym? It’s small, but it has the essentials – treadmills, elliptical, some weights. Look, I'm not saying it's a full-blown fitness center, but it's enough to get a little sweat session in after being cramped on a plane. (I have, on occasion, skipped the workout, opting instead for the comfy couch. Hey, we all have our moments, right?). It is, ultimately, pretty good.
Would You Stay There Again? Seriously, Just Tell Me.
Absolutely. Without hesitation. It's my go-to for Spokane trips. The SpringHill Suites at the airport is reliable, comfortable, and convenient. It's where I go when I need a place to rest, recharge, and maybe indulge in a bit of airport-hotel-style chaos. It’s not always perfect (as I've candidly admitted),Globetrotter Hotels
