3 Best Hotels in Pullman, Spokane and Eastern Washington

Registered as a national and state historic site, this 1905 Flemish-style inn, 15 miles southeast of Pullman in Uniontown, was once a parish house for the adjacent church; some of the homey, traditionally furnished rooms have views of the countryside, and one suite has its own kitchen. Book well in advance during WSU games and events.

You can count on this member of the national chain for cleanliness, comfortable beds, and friendly service, and all rooms include a refrigerator, microwave, and flat-screen TV. The indoor pool and hot tub are welcome features during cold eastern Washington winters. Cookies and milk are a nice treat in the evenings, and coffee and hot cocoa are also plentiful 24/7 and free for guests. Families especially like the spacious rooms and little extras, like board games in the lobby.

Modeled with 1959 mid-century design in mind but with 21st century tech conveniences, Hotel McCoy Pullman appeals to multiple generations, and even boomers will appreciate the comfortable beds, welcoming glass of complimentary wine, and retro video games. There's an oatmeal bar with toppings for breakfast, complimentary coffee, and eye-catching murals and art throughout the property—including works by local artists who can sell them without paying commission fees to the hotel. It's a very feel-good vibe all-around and the staff reflects that in their service. The hotel even offers a "kindness" discount—asking customers who book with that rate to do a random act of kindness for someone.
