Night of stay: September 13th 2025
This was my second time staying at The Historic Davenport, and honestly, the hotel itself is still a beautiful historical marvel, even if it is stuck right in downtown Spokane.
My stay was a real mixed bag. Unfortunately, we did run into some of the issues other reviews mention: several of the front desk staff were noticeably grumpy or even rude. But the check-in experience was completely saved by Danielle.
Danielle is a phenomenal employee—seriously, she was awesome! She single-handedly handled a chaotic check-in line with incredible cheerfulness and professionalism. She truly represents the high standard of service Mr. Davenport would expect. Whatever she's making, it's not enough, and the other employees could really take a page from her book.
The main disappointment, though, was the bed. The famed Davenport mattress felt worn out, and the classic luxury frame and box spring seem to have been replaced by a low, creaking platform. It was a stark contrast to the unparalleled comfort I remember from my 2017 stay. The Davenport is known for these beds—they even sell them!—but based on this trip, I wouldn't consider buying one.
It feels like some negative changes might be happening, possibly due to a management or ownership shift. I really hope they preserve the historical integrity and all those small details the Worthys put into it. Losing the unique charm that makes The Davenport special would be a real shame for Spokane.
