Mirabeau Park Hotel operates at 1100 North Sullivan Road in Spokane Valley, serving as the primary full-service hotel in Washington's fifth-largest city. The property combines hotel accommodations with a convention center capable of handling large events, the MAX at Mirabeau restaurant, and wedding and meeting venue facilities. It carries a 4.3 Google rating across more than 2,600 reviews, indicating a functional and well-regarded hospitality operation.
The hotel's paranormal reputation has been established through multiple independent staff accounts and at least one formal investigation by West Sound Paranormal, a Washington State paranormal research group that documented audio evidence at the property and published their findings on their website. The team's conclusion — that the hotel is 'Not Haunted' based on their investigative framework — stands alongside the continuing staff accounts that suggest otherwise.
A male guest reportedly died by suicide in a guest room near the front desk at some point in the hotel's history. This room is avoided by at least some housekeeping staff. The specific room number and date of the incident are not available through public research.

The paranormal accounts at Mirabeau Park Hotel have the consistency of staff-observed phenomena rather than guest legend — they originate from people who work at the property regularly and encounter the same presences across different incidents and time periods.
The most visually described presence is the woman with two children. Housekeeping staff have reported seeing a woman and what appear to be two young children walking the hotel hallways, typically during housekeeping hours. The children are described as causing mischief in guest rooms — objects displaced, beds disturbed. The woman is described as simply moving through the corridor, paying no attention to the staff member who observes her.
The third-floor presence is characterized differently: a gentleman who approaches housekeepers, asks for towels in a normal conversational manner, and is then gone when the housekeeper turns around or goes to retrieve the towels. Multiple unrelated staff members have described the same scenario. West Sound Paranormal captured an EVP on the third-floor staircase landing — a woman's voice clearly enunciating 'Dockery.' The name has not been traced to a known historical occupant of the hotel.
The guest room near the front desk associated with a reported male suicide is avoided by some housekeeping staff who describe feeling watched and unwelcome in the room, independent of knowing its history. No specific phenomena beyond atmospheric discomfort have been consistently reported there.
