The Sparrow is the first place I've stayed where I've truly "enjoyed my stay." I was in the area on business and it felt like a home away from home - everything from the welcome text from the front desk to the embedded coffee shop, the outside fireplace or delicious food from the food truck, the malin & goetz personal care products to the oversized gray hoodie robes - it all added up to a very cozy and pleasant stay. 10/10 recommend.

I stayed there for just one night, but wow - what a gem! Conveniently located to many restaurants and shops. Great modern design. Friendly staff. Extra clean room. Only wish they disclosed their parking fee upfront (it's not mentioned anywhere on the website).

Room was super clean and had everything we needed. Public areas were pretty clean. There was some kind of aerosol or essential oil in the hallways and lobbies 24/7 that was so strong it was highly unpleasant. I still have it on my clothes and will have to have everything cleaned to get it out.

Room was clean and the bed was very comfy. Did have a room that was right above the coffee shop -so it did get loud in the morning. And room was right by an area where ppl can hang out and work - so it was weird walking out of your room and there just being a bunch of ppl feet from your door. Other rooms are in a normal hotel setting - will book one of those rooms next time. Overall stay was nice - and will book again.

Loved staying here. The staff were SUPER accommodating and friendly, and the beds were also shockingly comfortable! There is a really cute and yummy little coffee shop in the lobby, as well as an adorable food truck located in the courtyard area on property as well. The one thing we had minor issue with was parking - sometimes their parking lot filled up and we had to park on the street.

Very cute, friendly staff, clean, close (walking distance 5-10 minutes)to the Boise Convention Center and The Grove area. Parking is $15. Late check outs are welcome for a small fee. Cute coffee/wine bar inside hotel, and a food truck outside. Fireplace outside makes the fall night stay fun!

Hotel staff were great. Good location with great restaurants within walking distance. Great coffee shop in the lobby. Major downside was the hallway had an extremely strong smell. I actually got a migraine from it. If you are sensitive smells especially Patchouli don’t stay on the 2nd floor.
