Great breakfast

The room was clean and my bed was comfortable and the staff were all great. The breakfast was lacking when I got there with fifteen minutes before it ended. There was no fruit left and the pancake machine was not working. The maintenance guy was amazing and gave my car a jump and fixed a loose battery connection in my car when it wouldn’t start.

Our stay was well done. Room was clean and comfortable and staff was friendly and helpful.

This location has zero usb outlets in rooms and the breakfast/ lounge area. Be sure to pack an adapter to get your charge on!

The location was convenient to our medical facilities in downtown Boise.

Great hotel, very clean, staff was great, room was spacious and as described in the ad. Free breakfast was included and they took all safety measures for Covid

Check in was great! I felt very welcome when it was my turn to check in. He even gave me a complimentary toothbrush and toothpaste!

The staff were all very nice and helpful. It was a great experience.

great location; some of the breakfast food items that were supposed to be hot weren't

I had no problems,my stay was what I expected because I’ve stayed there before.I would like to single out a young lady who helped.A young chamberlain named Katie.Very helpful and pleasant.

Facility is bright and clean. However It is dated and facility amenities’ ergonomics is not traveler friendly. The breakfast food counter is cramped and not permitting great flow of customer traffic.

The hallways were very dark. But breakfast was great and my kids enjoyed the pool

Very nice place and great services. We like the breakfast too

This hotels seems to be a bit renovated hotel. For the most part it was clean and nice looking. I don’t know if smoking is allowed in some floors or if the room we received was illegally smoked in, but the room still smell somewhat of stale smoke. Being allergic I ended up battling a headache and allergy symptoms all night.
