This was such a cute place to stay with nice amenities. They were so welcoming to our dog (German shepherd) and gave him some swag. We’ll definitely stay again for longer! Only issue we had was getting woken up by drunks in the alleyway a few times during the night. I’m pregnant so we’re not big drinkers right now! The windows definitely didn’t block out the sound much.

Great spot in the heart of Boise. Easy walk to and from the Grove, tons of great restaurants and bars within a couple blocks! The room was spacious, clean, and the design of every space was so cool.

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.
