The hotel is located downtown. There is a charge for parking right at the hotel which I was ok with because I was traveling alone. I was able to check in and then grab my bags from my car in a well lit area. The outside area was well lit and so were the hallways. I was only there for a quick overnight stay but I am in the Boise area frequently so I know that is in a great location even if you need to be in Meridian etc. as the highway is just a few minutes away to get to anywhere else you need to be.
Friendly staff and having a coffee shop on site there was a nice way to start the day.
Cool modern hotel close enough for walking to dinnner and shops. Room was comfortable and good value. Only down side is the barn door on the bathroom, Not a great deal of privacy for sound or light when sharing a room
Charming and personal hotel in downtown Boise. It's a great place to stay for a short visit. Friendly and helpful staff, cute lobby/coffee shop, and comfy beds. The included 'prize fighter' style bathrobes in the room were cozy and fun! I recommend this property. Parking was very convenient.
This was a very solid stop-over on our drive back home. New, sparkling-clean and felt safe, and very walkable to good coffee shops. Jodi was so, so helpful! The bathrooms offer little privacy, but were fine for our family of 3. We will definitely stay again.
Best place I have ever found to stay in Boise. Clean, and convenient, really friendly kind staff, dog friendly (and really conscious about being clean; the room is sparkling).
The room was nice but the parking was small and charge to much . Windows were kinda dirty. Didn't have a microwave in room and didn't have complimentary breakfast
