Such a good location!
We loved the fact that we parked when we checked in and could walk everywhere we wanted to go.
The staff was very friendly & accommodating. There was a minor hiccup at check-in (accidentally gave us the wrong room number) and they were so apologetic & even brought us a treat later that night to apologize again.
There is a coffee shop attached to the main lobby and for us that was a huge win!
The property itself was clean and well maintained. We loved the huge walk in shower and overall setup of the room.
We stay in Boise every spring. This was our first time staying here but we will definitely book again.
Location is excellent! Wonderful steakhouse across the street and within walking distance of downtown! Safe, clean and friendly staff. Room was clean, water was HOT (preferred by me) and beds were very comfortable! Would stay again! Highly recommend!
A great place to stay! The beds and pillows were so comfy. Friendly staff. Great central location. We were able to walk everywhere. We loved the robes that were provided during our stay! Would stay again.
Cute property, great location. Staff was nice and friendly. We did wake up to someone vacuuming the hallway at 8 am. Parking is a problem especially if you drive a vehicle taller than 6 feet. I know it’s not their fault, but the construction right next door is definitely a bit of an issue.
Loved that there were shelf/tables on BOTH sides of each bed. My wife usually gets the table and my phone sits on the floor.
Great location. Great coffee shop in lobby.
Very clean,efficient functional. Decor minimalist.almost stark. Bathroom one person ata time. Lighting harsh. Only one bedside light fixture. Parking was offered free with on-line info but informed it was $15 per night when we got there. They graciously allowed us free parking.we would stay again. Great location in downtown Boise.
The staff were all incredible and had great attitudes! Very helpful and accommodating-the room was wonderful and showcased their emphasis on sustainability. We could walk all over town and make it back to the hotel in 15-20 minutes which was very convenient!
We had a great visit at the Sparrow. Location is perfect, right downtown. Loved the eco friendliness of it, it was no frills in some ways: no ironing board etc. but that was totally okay. They did have a great water kettle and tea and the bedding was lovely. I'd totally stay again. Not ideal for mobility impaired, had to climb steps to get to the elevator. Fine for us, but important ot know!

We had a room facing south toward the new hotel being built across the road. I woke up to loud conversations in the parking lot at 2am and the construction across the road started pretty early Sunday morning. This hotel is very clean and new. Once the neighbors are finished constructing, it will get 5 stars all the way from me. We’ll definitely be back.
