Riverfront Travel Apartments was an excellent concept that we had never experienced before. We've…read morestayed in hotels and we've stayed in houses using Air B&B and Verbo. RPTA is sort of both combined. A cool old brick building in downtown that has been completely refurbished. We loved our apartment. The view sucked, but other than that it was fantastic. A full one-bedroom apartment. Complete with a full kitchen including a dishwasher. A little dining area and a really comfy living space. A TV in both the living room and the bedroom. Laundry in the apartment was great! Cooking vessels, coffee maker, toaster, plates, utensils all provided. The full-size fridge had an ice maker. Two loads of detergent were provided for laundry, three for the dishwasher. The couch was a hide-a-bed should it be needed. The bed in the bedroom was very comfortable. The décor in the apartment was great. Really nice watercolors of different landmarks of Spokane. We had the big Red Flyer wagon in our living room. There was no staff on site. Everything was done over the phone, but they all were all super friendly, professional and polite. We were granted early check-in which was a huge help and relief to us. To access your apartment you are given a code to open the front door to the lobby. Punch in the code again to get the elevator to move. Then a different code gets you into your room. The location is stellar. Downtown within walking distance of Riverfront Park, River Park Square mall, all sorts of great dining and drinking spots. The convention center is literally across the street. Pricing was good. It was cheaper than name brand hotels in the downtown area, but more expensiver than "budget" hotels. Only a few cons: *We stayed three mornings, but only were given two mornings worth of coffee. *No amenities. No pool, Jacuzzi, gym, etc. (But no "resort" fee either!) *No parking - did not affect us, but it might you. *Our view - Unit 304. Looked into the alley and staring directly into a very tall building. No natural light could get in. Had to keep the blinds closed the entire time. *The white noise machine was missing from our apartment. We didn't need it, but I did call so they would not think we stole it. We flew in from San Diego and did not rent a car. We were in Spokane from Thursday night to Tuesday morning. We spent a total of $79.88 on Uber rides. My brother who flew in from Wichita spent $140 PER DAY on a rental car. If you have the flexibility to not rent a car as we did, I highly recommend it. Would most definitely stay at Riverfront Travel Apartments in the future.

LOTS of road noise (especially at night, with cars street racing), very loud compressor used by offices across the alley, another loud compressor used across the street, intermittent trucks that do some kind of loud loading in the alley. Thin walls/doors. Lousy pillows (so bad that I had to buy one). Very slow coffee maker that automatically turns off after brewing, so you have to keep turning it back on to keep the burner hot.

The hotel is ok...but missing several things I expect from a property billing itself as four stars: -some of the staff was kind, but more than one were short or rude. -hotel does not provide shampoo or conditioner. Unbelievable for a four star property. If you want it, you must go and buy it during regular business hours at the rec center. -New towels are provided only on Tuesdays at the towel exchange. Not very helpful when your stay is Thursday through Sunday. -You are fined if you do not wash the dishes and empty the dishwasher and take out the trash in your own room. this is buried in the checkout instructions (when was the last time you opened a room folio to even read the check out instructions at a hotel). Pretty draconian since it's very non-standard for other properties. See my pictures. This and many other rules are excessive and controlling. Cameras everywhere with staff coming to question your compliance with minutia -Felt on edge all weekend due to staff not picking at us and kids. Not a good place to relax.

The rates we paid were really reasonable, but not certain if these are available to everyone or not. Our family is 4 mini families and we were each able to get our own rooms of various sizes, all with kitchens. This allowed us plenty of privacy and time to decompress while still letting us utilize the amenities together. The rooms were nice and clean, no complaints there, all had balconies. We had a couple barbecues at the community picnic areas, made good use of the recreation center, toyed around with the driving/putting range and dined a couple times at the golf course restaurant. My Dad played the golf course but it seems that the other clientele do not enjoy having people on the course who are not skilled at the game. The rec center has a variety of things to do from net sports, to racquetball, to basketball, pool, hot tub, steam room, etc. We enjoyed the saltwater pool and hot tub, although it is very bizarre to me that you have to walk down a hall dripping wet and freezing to access the hot tub/steam room. The hot tub is big so at least you are unlikely to walk over there and find it too full to get in. We were able to do water aerobics one day, but these really should be offered more frequently. There is a mini golf course on site which does cost an additional fee, there are also bikes available to rent. A trail circles the resort, some of it paved, some of it dirt. I hear you can fish here, but none of us did that. Seems you can not swim in the lake. This is a bit of a drive from most things so if you want to go to restaurants and places like Silverwood, Courdelane, Sandpoint, etc be prepared to spend a lot of time in the car. I would have preferred to stay somewhere that was closer to things to do. There is not much to do here once it gets dark. Some of the staff were not the friendliest.

WOW! This place is amazing! Our residential architecture company traveled to Coeur d'Alene for…read moresoftware training and stumbled upon this gem! The pictures do not do justice for this spectacular home. The location of the house was in a perfect location. Convenient to the Interstate as well as to the Downtown area and lake. Everything we needed was in a short walk or drive. The neighborhood was a beautiful collection of modernized craftsman homes and everything was manicured to perfection. Lisa was extremely responsive to anything we needed (like a place to eat or grab a coffee). She was always in constant communication with check-in and check-out, as well as checking in to see how our stay was. The house has EVERYTHING! There was nothing that we wanted that we could not find in the home. There were plenty of towels. The washing machine was pre-loaded with soap for washing a few clothes. The kitchen was stocked and everything was labeled. All high quality items in this house, from the quality of linens to the All Clad cookware. Everything seemed brand new. The house was laid out perfectly over three floors. The bottom floor had two bedrooms, a huge living area with a 85" tv and another game room, along with a nicely sized bathroom with a 4' countertop. The main floor was vast. It contained a master suite and bathroom that belonged as the feature story in a Kitchen & Bath magazine. The Kitchen belonged on the cover of the same magazine. The colors and materials were picked perfectly! There was a spacious laundry room on this floor as well as a dining table that comfortably would seat 10. There was also a spacious living room for relaxing and carrying on a conversation as well as a powder bath. The upstairs had three bedrooms and two baths. One was a en-suite and the other a hall bath that was just outside the two bedrooms. There was a lovely lounging area at the top of the stairs as well. To top it all off, their was an upstairs covered balcony that had beautiful views of Coeur d'Alene. This was an absolute jewel in a beautiful city. I can't recommend this place enough. You will not be disappointed if you rent this for your next multi-family vacation, corporate retreat or just a luxurious trip out of town!

It's never ideal to be out of your own house, but VRA made the entire experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. The rental itself had a few issues right out of the gate--things like the dryer not working and the hot tub needing attention. What truly impressed me was how quickly and professionally VRA responded. Their team was on it immediately, getting people out to the property and resolving problems without delay. No runaround, no excuses--just fast, effective solutions. From start to finish--communication, responsiveness, repairs, billing, and overall customer service--VRA was top-notch. Issues happen with any property, but how a company handles them is what matters, and VRA absolutely delivered. Their attention to detail and commitment to taking care of their guests really stood out. I can't say enough good things about the Vacation Rental Authority team. If you're looking for a company that genuinely cares and shows up when it matters, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend
