Spokane International Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels
Spokane International Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels
Spokane International Airport is about 10-15 minutes west of downtown, with no train or direct public shuttle: travelers arriving late or leaving at dawn find several hotels a few minutes from the terminal, many with a free shuttle. Those who want the historic downtown choose it, along the Spokane River and near the Convention Center, about ten minutes by car. Further away, half an hour to the east, is Spokane Valley: a cluster of hotels handy for those working in the local industrial area or heading toward Idaho and Coeur d'Alene, but not very practical for those who are just flying.
