Where to Stay in Spokane (And Why Location Matters)
When planning a trip to Spokane, one of the biggest decisions you’ll make isn’t just where to stay—it’s where you want to be.
Spokane offers a few distinct areas, each with its own feel. But the experience of your trip can change completely depending on your location.
At Blockhouse Life, we’re located in the heart of the Perry District—and for many guests, it ends up being the best of both worlds.
Staying in Downtown Spokane
Downtown Spokane has its advantages. It’s where you’ll find:
Riverfront Park and the Spokane Falls
Shopping, events, and nightlife
Larger hotels and high-traffic areas
It’s great if you want to be in the middle of everything, especially for a quick visit or event-focused trip.
But with that comes:
More noise
Less space
Limited walkability to local neighborhood spots
A more “hotel-style” experience
For some travelers, that’s perfect. For others, it can feel a bit busy—especially when it’s time to unwind.
Why More Guests Are Choosing the Perry District
Just minutes from downtown, the Perry District offers a completely different experience.
Instead of traffic and crowds, you’ll find:
Tree-lined, walkable streets
Local coffee shops, restaurants, and a neighborhood brewery
A true sense of community
A quieter, more relaxed pace
It’s the kind of place where you can start your morning with coffee, walk to dinner, and actually feel like you’re part of Spokane—not just visiting it.
The Best of Both Worlds
One of the biggest advantages of staying at Blockhouse Life is proximity without the noise.
🚗 5–10 minute drive to downtown Spokane
🏡 Return to a calm, residential neighborhood
🌿 Enjoy space, comfort, and a slower pace when the day is done
You can spend your day exploring downtown—restaurants, events, the river—and then come back to a place that actually feels like home.
A Different Kind of Stay
Where you stay impacts how your trip feels.
At Blockhouse Life, we’ve designed our spaces to reflect the neighborhood around them:
Thoughtful, modern design
Full kitchens and functional living spaces
Walkable access to everything you need
A stay that feels intentional—not transactional
It’s not just about having a place to sleep—it’s about having a place to settle in.
So, Where Should You Stay?
If you want:
Energy, crowds, and immediate access to events → Downtown may be the right fit
If you want:
Walkability, comfort, and a more local experience → The Perry District is hard to beat
And if you want both?
That’s where Blockhouse Life comes in.
Stay Local. Stay Blockhouse Life.
Spokane has a lot to offer—but where you stay shapes how you experience it.
At Blockhouse Life, you’re close to everything… without feeling like you’re in the middle of it.
