Stayed here for a tour of BSU - highly recommend! First, probably the nicest staff I’ve ever experienced at a hotel. Second, breakfast was amazing! Super impressed with all the offerings. Room was clean, beds comfortable, parking easy. Hands down the best value for level of experience received!

Won’t stay here again.
Paper thin walls. Your hear everything in the neighboring rooms. Refrigerator in room didn’t work. Maintenance had to come fix it. Tub didn’t drain until I work on it for 15 minutes. Rooms seemed small for the price. The bed was very comfortable though.

We’ve stayed several times at this particular hotel, always clean, always a safe feeling, the beds are comfortable, the location to activity, and the price point all seems reasonable.

There was a bunch of stuff in the carpet that hadn't been vacuumed up. Somebody had had a party or something. There were stains of some sort all over the heater/ac unit. Cobwebs everywhere. Up by the smoke alarm amongst other places. Looks like there was snot blown all over the wall. The smell inside the hallway smelled of glue and some other chemical. And I have pictures if anybody wants to contest this. I was having surgery and got this place for my mother and my wife because I had good reviews. Little embarrassing to be honest. So thanks for that.

A most convenient place
It is a great place to stay in Boise. It is close to BSU, Boise Library, the State Museum, the State Historical Society, a grocery store, and many fine restaurants, and it is not far from downtown. It serves a fine breakfast and has helpful staff. I just wished handicapped parking was a little closer and I would be placed not so far from the elevator.
