Marianna Stoltz House

We loved the breakfast. I mentioned our likes and things we skip before ahead of time and they made a beautiful spread for us. The main area is very comfortable it was easy to park and enter with the keypad.

They can’t do any about the traffic noises. We are from a very rural area and forget how noisy the city can be. And how much light there is. I think this location is better than some for that but we had a little trouble sleeping the first night. The second night was better as we either could have got used to it or we were so tired from playing tourist all day.

The house itself is a wonderful house with TONS of character and well-appointed/refurbished. There was parking off-street/aside the house, which was nice. The decor was great, the bed was very comfy (we had room 3 which shared a bathroom), the bathroom was adequate, the host was nice during morning conversation, the foyer/common area was pleasant as was the music they kept on in that area, the continental breakfast and coffee was good for us (but not extensive), and the honesty bar had good options (but we didn't use). I also liked the digital door locks so I didn't have to carry another key around. It was also within walking distance (for us) to the Gonzaga campus and some eateries/Continental Trail/etc so it was convenient for sightseeing.

The big issue was the road and people noise, especially at night--this house is adjacent/nearby several frat and sorority houses and they were have a great time during graduation all night, with no concern about neighbors. It may not be an issue at other times--YMMV. Additionally, the streets it is on are busy with traffic during most hours, so it wasn't a quiet stay. Sadly, the character of the old windows also lent themselves to not having great soundproofing. I had asked by phone and by booking.com messaging about the possible noise, and didn't hear anything back, which leads me to what I didn't like--lack of communication. Also, we never knew what room we had (though the emails and signs at the property all said we should have been told it). We figured it out, but just FYI. For those that can't do stairs, be advised there is no lift. Also, make sure you are OK with sharing a bathroom as 2 of the rooms share a bathroom (separated from the rooms).

The loveliest host! And terrific fresh breakfast—a treat.

Bed was comfortable

I have received an email about the room we were in and couldn’t get a hold about the staff to find out what room I was in had to go room to room and punch in the code to find out what room was mine.

10-15 minute walk to Gonzaga University, amazing breakfast and comfortable room.

Cute furnishings and very helpful on-site staff.

It was difficult getting inside, my code kept getting rejected.

Breakfast is simple but good and high quality. The house is pretty historic yet renovated with style and comfortable. Room is "old" but not torn down and clean. Check in / check out is easy and there are plenty on site parking as well. And the value/feature ratio is pretty good in my view

The minor things for me are 1) room is a little bit dark and have not enough lighting and there is not enough outlet to charge phone but I think those are because of the historic old building. The stair got to the secod floor is really squeaky and make a lot noise especially when someone walk up at night. And the biggest thing for me is the noise level from the street outside. There are lots of fast moving car (like racing) during the night on that street for some reason

Location

Nothing really other than a warm b-fast would have made it a tad bit nicer. Beautiful house with lots of history. No complaints really.

Breakfast was average with limited variety but good with my experience with B&B establishments.
