HOTELS
Coeur d’Alene is facing a scarcity of hotel accommodations due to an outpouring of support for our fallen brothers. Nearly every available room in the city is filling up quickly, particularly on the dates surrounding the funeral events.
Fortunately, hotels are still available approximately 30 minutes away across the border in Spokane, Washington.
Spokane offers over 150 hotels, ranging from national chains to boutique properties. It’s a practical, accessible alternative – just a short drive along I-90 – and provides a broader range of availability, while still enabling meaningful participation in the funeral activities in Coeur d’Alene.
