8/10 Very good

Great service and welcoming all around
Kael, 14-night trip

6/10 Good

Good price and friendly staff

Beds were great and front desk very helpful but the photos on Hotels.com and real life are not even close.
Guy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Last minute, well priced comfortable stay

It was comfortable and quiet. The front desk girl was very helpful and kind, and when my TV had an issue the maintenance man came to my room and fixed it even though he had clocked out for the evening. My room was clean. My room was 344 and the only criticism I might have would be a new shower head would make a huge difference in the experience. Very happy with my stay, I plan to stay again in the near future!

richard, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Room was dirty under the beds, under bathroom counter, closet door wouldn’t shut, slider door didn’t lock, built in the 1970s and has not been updated. All the doors looked like the police had busted them down. They could have filmed the Shining in this hotel.

Terrible facility

Black mold in the bathroom the hallway floor was a long trip hazard on the second floor i had to hold my mother so she would fall
Juan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Bed was extremely comfortable. Although I felt the rooms were clean they were shabby and especially the woodwork/doors. We weee on the top floor, got in very latw on night of checkin so slept in a bit. They was some horrible occasional noise around 8am that seemed to come above us/roof? Sounded like dragging furniture. It was very loud and disturbing until it completely stppped around 8:20/8:30. check in/out staff was very friendly and helpful
Elisabeth, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

I would NOT go back.

The Good - Bathroom and beds were clean. Breakfast service with Lisa was excellent. The Bad - Hallway carpet was in terrible condition, dirty, torn, trip hazard, literally duck taped together, (2nd floor). Many of the room doors looked like they had been busted by police. Sliding glass door to balcony had no lock. Chair in room had stains and under cushion had piles of crumbs and cards. We had three rooms booked in our party. One family left immediately.

Uncomfortable

Old run down hotel in the middle of downtown Boise. Couln't get the window open, room was hot and they told me they couldn't change it from heating to air conditioning
Clayton D, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Overall a very good experience for a very affordable price. Nowhere near as pricey as hotels right in the middle of downtown but still only about a 10 minute walk.
Jacob, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

We had alot of issues with dark brown water in sink and toilet, elevator shut down, bad tv,no phone to frt.desk,no heat,problem with extra blankets, no bath mat for old style tub,very slippery, no free breakfast as advertised, it's $10.It 3 rooms to get us settled, now the good, very good bed, staff was fantastic!! They are trying to make up for long over due maintenance and remodel . We are very easy going but this tested us on our get away trip.Not sure if we'll gamble on this location again but staff and location will weigh in on the next trip. Good luck and be patient if things aren't quite right at first, they will do they're best

Darla, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Two night biz trip.

A gem 10 years ago. Very run down physically. Nobody at counter at initial checkin. Finally called reservations from the counter and a gentleman showed up from outside. Room was mediocre. Rate was quite low to reflect condition but with this premium location in Boise, one would think this property would get an upgrade and back to it’s prime.
Tom, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Had a roof and bed

Hallway was torn up with ducktape holding together the carpet in A LOT of places. Some doors were "patched." Room had dents, scratches, and bits missing. Air-conditioning didnt work at all!

Very convenient, staff was personable & helpful.
Barbara, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good location

Even though there is a no smoking policy, the hallway strongly smelled of marijuana. The rooms are nice sized and the beds are comfy. Good location. Walkable distance to many places.
