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.

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.

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!
