The check in process was a breeze. Sarah was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and gave us great ideas on where to go and what to see. She was informative regarding how to navigate the campus, town, hiking trails, etc….we will definitely come back. Thank you, Sarah, for making our stay enjoyable! From, Sarah

Easy check in. Right off the freeway in downtown Boise. The hotel is a little run down. They seem like they need more staff. The lady at the desk was nice and checked us in quickly. Strange smell in the room. Other than that, great place.

I feel like this property could use a good detail clean. All around the table edge I could see build up, around the toilet, in the closet, the hallways are duct taped all over the carpeted floors
