The actual property was really nice and clean but unfortunately we won’t be coming back. The club next door was so loud that not only could we hear it, we could feel it. The vibrations from the base shook our room and made it very hard to get any rest. There were people outside throughout the night and very early deliveries. We could hear everything. Was not restful at all and I had to drive 10+ hours the next day.

I called the front desk and was advised they "were aware of a room in the general area" of this room that "had power issues" but "somebody was supposed to be looking into it" and obviously "fell short." If somebody had come to fix the refrigerator as we were advised they would at 6 am this morning, they would have seen the room had NO OUTLETS that worked, a pool of water in the refrigerator and found that the light that's plugged into the wall doesn't even work! Troubleshooting 101 The offer to move rooms at 11:15pm was a complete inconvenience that was out of the question! My 80-year-old mother was already asleep after a long day of being at the hospital since 6:30 am. I expect NOTHING LESS than a full refund on this! I need a phone call.

The hotel is clean and the room is tidy with new linens, towels, and pillows. The room is spacious enough. Parking is easy and the area is in the quiet side of downtown with lots of dining options, bars, and shops. Front desk is very informative and helpful. I will stay at this hotel again whenever in Boise.

Very friendly staff. Rooms were nice and area provided close proximity to so many locations. The only drawback is the parking situation. Because there aren’t areas designated for visitors or checking in, the space assigned to you is often taken by another visitor. Other than that, it was a great hotel!
