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.

A very nice option! Less hotel and more boutique feel. Very comfortable and responsive staff. They were very kind and willing to hold bags while I explored the last day. Nice little coffee shop inside. I’d stay here again for sure! Very walkable to the boise center! Overall I think I had a better stay than my colleagues in other accommodations!
