This is my 2nd time staying at the Sparrow. This place is super funky and the location is perfect to walk pretty much anywhere worth walking to in downtown Boise. I will definitely stay there again (it's by far my favorite hotel). The rooms are really modern in a mountain theme, very comfortable, and the staff were wonderful. The showers were great and bed super comfy. One thing to note, the parking is limited and it is first come first serve, so plan accordingly. There's other parking very nearby though, so if you don't get a spot it's not a big deal.

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.

As a solo female traveler this is one of my favorite spots I have stayed. Well kept facilities, helpful staff, relatively safe. If you're looking for easy, walkable access to downtown Boise this is a spectacular location.

Loved to stay here!! So close to everywhere we needed to go and see! Coffee shop connected and it had wonderful coffee and pastries! The staff were wonderful. The rooms though a little smaller were very nice! Would definitely come back and stay!
Verified review

6/10 Good

Although the room was clean and had excellent bedding and we slept well - the overall experience was subpar and not as pictures show. Also I was charged more than what was listed on hotels.com. Parking is TERRIBLE - You pay for a spot that only a mini cooper can park in. You cannot open your backend to get you luggage without damaging your vehicle.
