Cute little hotel. Very clean, modern and comfortable. Front staff was very accommodating for our large van we had to park over the weekend. Forgot my toothbrush and was able to get one of those as well. Amazing dinners within walking distance and felt very safe. Will stay again next year for sure.

Great location for exploring downtown Boise. Parking was easy and convenient. The room/lobby decor was great and the beds were comfortable. Only complaint was the cleanliness of the elevator and carpets in the common areas.

I have stayed here five times for work trips now, and as a Lifetime Marriott Titanium elite, it says something that I would stray from my usual chain, I discovered it a year or so ago when all downtown Boise Marriotts were all too expensive (company wants us to try and stay under$350/night which is getting harder) which keeps happening due perhaps to the Micron and data center boom locally. I love this cool property. Walking distance form tons of great restaurants.

We stayed in the room with a queen bed and bunk beds. The room was clean and well laid out, the bathroom looked very new and everything worked, nothing leaked. We didn’t try the little Nintendo gaming machine that was plugged into the tv but I thought that was a nice touch. They didn’t have parking available for my stay but it was probably cheaper to park in the street anyways - it’s less than $4 to park from 8am to noon, and we were out by then, and didn’t come back to the hotel until after the street parking is free at night. The lobby cafe was reasonably priced.

Jodi was incredible. She helped us find parking and was more than accommodating. She was so sweet and helpful. The property was clean and in such a cute little town. The coffee shop was pricey but pretty good. Beds were really comfy. I would totally stay here again.
