The property is an excellent location in downtown Boise. Two blocks to the Idaho Arena and close to shopping and numerous dining establishments. Rooms were small, but exceptionally clean and more than adequate. Beds were comfortable, and toiletries were high end. Staff were extremely pleasant and helpful with 24 hour access by phone, text, or in person. Onsite food truck and small cafe with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating for relaxing and socialization. In room coffee was from a local roaster down the street.

Hotel was amazing! Parking was a mess. Parking spaces were cramped and it took me forever to get out because cars were so close together.

Worth the price but…

I thought it was well worth their rates. Was very surprised when I saw they had a charger for my hybrid and other electric cars gratis. The styling is for people younger than me, but it was still really nice. The only things that threw me off a bit was the heater/ac right next to the bed (and it was loud) and the garbage pick up at 5am outside my window.

Great Staycation

Great option for a quick trip. Great location to pretty much anywhere in downtown Boise. The courtyard area is well thought out with various seating options to enjoy coffee from the coffee shop, or the food truck on site. The room we chose was the basic room, it as small but organized with built-in that took up less space. A little bonus was a birthday note and little treat for my husband.

The facility was beautiful and the staff kind. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean!! Only recommendation would be to clearly communicate that parking was not free and the amount that would be charged per night be made known upon reservation and arrival. Otherwise great experience and I would definitely stay there again.
