In for one night. Visiting aunt in Chewelah, WA with my mother. First. The airport is small but expect a fair walk from terminal to terminal. The transport to the HGI and car rentals are located close to the old terminal. The HGI has shuttle service but it is on request.

I booked via the web getting a AAA rate. I thought the rate was high given that this is GEG. Oh well. FYI. The directions given online to the Hotel with your confirmatin look to be backwards in terms of direction. If on 90 going east exit at 277b. Check in was efficient. Given a room on the third floor that seems according to the floor map a little bigger than most. Given one pantry $5 credit, coupon for bottles of water and two continental breakfest coupons. By up to a full hot breakfest for $2 per. The pantry was interesting to me since it had many local souvenirs. That spelled correctly. The room was typical HGI but 101% clean. Highspeed internet access free. Indoor 24 pool and so forth. The restaurant was excellent. A great hot cooked to order meals. Compliments of my mom. Charged to the room for points of course. There is a restuarant that is supposed to be excellent for portions within walking distance. We noted a BBQ place while driving in less than 2 minutes.

The Hotel was built in 2002. It was according to the HUGE banner outside the number one HGI of 2003. It is. The nicest I have found so far. Enjoy and highly recommended.
