This is a really cool place to stay but I was not happy with having to pay extra for parking when I already spent over $220 to stay. I think parking should be included!

super hip and trendy hotel in the heart of Boise

Very hip trendy hotel in the heart of Boise. I stayed at one of their other hotels in Bozeman and it was very similar. I love the mountain modern style, and it has a great indoor and outdoor lobby area that people actually enjoy hanging out in. The room was very comfortable, shower and bathroom was great, and mattress and pillows super comfy. Location was perfect - you can walk to everything without being in the middle of the noise.
