I'm a Boise native, so I remember when the Modern Hotel was a scary Travelodge near the Greyhound Bus station. They've done a terrific job of renovating the property and making it appealing to a new generation of guests. Great location downtown, excellent options for the free breakfast, and the hotel staff was extremely friendly and helpful. My only complaint was that the carpet in our room was really dirty. I suppose that's to be expected in a hotel room with an external entrance, but it was still pretty disgusting. All in all, though, I would stay here again (and probably will, next time I'm in town.)

I love this boutique hotel. The price for a nice size queen suite was better than most of the other nice hotels in the area. Location is great. They have a nice breakfast, although not many choices. I was disappointed that they no longer make their own yogurt and wish they had more fruit (ie berries). The staff is super friendly.

Renovation with class

Pros: Very comfortable and clean. The staff was very friendly. Food was excellent.
Cons: Shelves in the closet. A few more options in the morning would be great.
Location: Boise is a restaurant hotspot. There are many wonderful places to eat, etc.
I had no idea a renovation of a 70's dive motel could be so successful. Despite it's size, the hotel was a class act. It was the first time I had stayed at the Modern and I was there for 5 days. During my stay, each employee treated me like a VIP. I consider myself low maintenance, however, I believe they would have gladly met any reasonable need I had. Food was outstanding. If you happen to be there for weekend brunch, you're lucky. Just delicious. Dinner is top notch. I heard a rumor the Chef was nominated for a James Beard Award. I didn't verify that, though--so don't hold me to it. Rumor or not, the food was award-worthy. There would be two small improvement I would suggest: First, on long stays, I appreciate being able to put my clothes away and store my luggage. There weren't any closet shelves or drawers for my clothes, which was a bummer. However, if they stored the ironing board elsewhere, a couple of shelves in the small closet would have suited perfectly. Second, I really enjoyed the fresh bagels in the morning. The juice was also delicious. Any chance to add some bread or toast when a bagel may be a little much? Perhaps some cut meats. I think adding a full breakfast may be overkill, but a few more options would be great.

Modern Hotel

Pros: It was comfortable, and very accommodating. The staff was very pleasing during check in and there were no hiccups during our stay.
Location: El Korah Shrine Music venue, Neurolux music venue, Alehouse brewery, Awesome record store, river walk/trail, Pie hole pizza, etc. Treefort Musicfest
Great location, in the heart of Boise. Close to all the music venues, bars and restaurants. The Modern Hotel staff was very accommodating and provided a flawless stay for myself and the rest of musicians I was traveling with. Rooms were nicely designed and very comfortable.
