Right on the Spokane River
This is a very nice hotel right on the river. Step out the door and your on a multi use path. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the outdoor space and pool are hard to beat. Perfect for families. There is a restaurant on site if you want an easy and good food option.

Great stay
This was the second time staying at the Ruby Ridge. Even though it was a busy weekend, with the Gonzaga students moving in, the service was great. The rooms were quiet and there was enough parking.
