Pros:

This was an excellent location and the hotel offered so many features to make our overnight stay quite comfortable. The breakfast was exceptional. The lobby bar was fun with terrific live music. Dinner was good. The hotel had everything we needed: a pleasant evening in the bar/restaurant, a quiet night's sleep and efficient transportation to the airport. All the staff from front desk, bell service, food and beverage and housekeeping were excellent.

Cons:

There wasn't anything we didn't like

Great location but everything else was disappointing, if you pay for a
Pros:

Great location. Next to parks, and walking trails on the Boise river. Great places to eat near by. Pools indoor and out were very nice.

Cons:

I paid extra for a room with a view. I had a room with a giant tree blocking my view and a rickety balcony. When I complained to the desk I got” that is unfortunate”. There is one elevator in this hotel. It was a huge distance from the room. We had to carry our luggage up and down two flights of stairs. Breakfast was very disappointing. I would not stay at this location again. I added the photo of my supposed view.

Pros:

The room was a nice size and easy for the kids to walk around. Liked that the microwave and mini fridge were hidden in the TV stand. I like that you offer a pack n play for young babies.

Cons:

That there wasn't much of an area to eat in the room. There was only the desk to sit at and we had to move a bench around so we could all eat together. The mattresses were really hard and the pillows weren't that great. The bedding was confusing there seemed like a sheet a thin comforter and then another sheet.

An over $1000 one night stay, not worth the inconvenience
Pros:

Convenient. Clean. Great bar. Super friendly staff. We had a suite which was very nice. Good breakfast.

Cons:

Five events that night created chaos in the parking lots. Every space was taken, even in overflow across from the hotel. Enjoying the pool was almost impossible. There was no monitoring of who was allowed in. Were they all guests? I doubt it. My party walked right in thru the bar area.
So many families with kids overtook almost every space. I love kids but when there’s no space for other guests & you’re continuing to be splashed, it gets annoying.
My friends and I usually love Riverside, and we spent over $1000 that weekend between the room, drinks & food. But this was not a $1000 stay.
