Hotel Ruby in Spokane, WA

One of the coolest parts of road tripping is that you get the opportunity to sample a lot of hotels in a lot of cool places. In Spokane we stayed at Hotel Ruby, which is a trendy mod-inspired motel located right downtown. I wanted to stay here because the building had the character of a vintage roadside motel without actually being one. A comfortable bed is a luxury worth having in my opinion.

We stayed here on our way down and again on our way back. The location was also worth while as we took several walks around downtown, and made our way to River Park Square to catch a movie on our last night of the trip. For about the same cost as any other standard hotel, it was nice to stay in a place that felt a bit more original.
