I've stayed at the Hume Hotel (formerly the Heritage Inn) with my wife a couple of times and loved it. There are three bars in the hotel that are all unique and very cool. Check it out: http://www.humehotel.com/
I'm thinking pretty seriously about heading up to Red sometime this season... Its just a little further away from Spokane than Schweitzer Mtn but its soo much better. Might be a great place to go for the holidays
