The rooms were nice. We shared a room with a friend and the bathroom door is barn door style and slides so it didn’t feel like you have much privacy. They have a strong essential oil smell throughout the hotel hallways. Other than that it was a convenient hotel downtown. I would rate it 7.5 out of 10.

Nice location near downtown. Very clean, new condition, nice staff. Comfey bed and soft sheets. Wi-Fi did not work well. Decor is very minimalist, stark, like a dorm room, hard chairs and no place to have food or a drink, so not super comfortable. Otherwise a nice place to stay.

Clean and comfortable
The room was very clean and comfortable. Sheets were buttery soft. The bunk beds were full size, so plenty big enough for adults too. Also the pictures online make the room look smaller than it actually is. It was perfect for 3 of us friends to share for a girls night in Boise!
