Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
There was no mention at the time of booking of major construction projects on both sides of the building that began at 4 am and were insufferable. The hotel should warn before booking so as to not have disgruntled guests. They are really doing themselves a disservice by not even giving a warning. It was a terrible stay.

Really enjoyed my stay here. Bring a fun and engaging taste of Boise and Idaho to the decorations and design. The local coffee (Form and Function) that is served is really good! Staff was very helpful and attentive.

We stayed at The Sparrow last night and thoroughly enjoyed the stay! The staff was warm, friendly and went "above and beyond" to deliver on an expectation we had from a "write up" about the hotel! Our room was clean, cozy and had all the needed amenities, without feeling overdone. The bed was comfortable, some may feel it is a bit too soft, but we slept just great! The location is nice as there are lots of walkable dining/bar options nearby. Loved it!
