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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
