Downtown Boise and a Local Comfortable Welcoming Overnight
Pros:

The Modern has taken the old & made it new & modern. The rooms are comfortable & very modern. The staff are friendly & helpful. The breakfast is delightfully yummy, & the location is grand. You can walk all over downtown Boise, or bike, as they have free bicycles. A fun place to stay!

Cons:

Street noise can be an issue, but earplugs are an amenity.

A rare beyond expectations stay!
Pros:

I traveled to Boise for the first time at the end of January 2026. As a Basque-American I wanted to visit the Basque Capital of the USA. I chose the Modern due to it being walking distance from the Basque Block and because it's a indy owned business which I much prefer over chains and multi-nationals, Bonus! it's Basque-American owned and they serve several Basque themed entrees in their dining room. Old Boise--downtown, is very walkable plus the Modern offeres bikes for its guests to get around. Their shower is spa quality with an overhead rain shower head plus a handheld shower head in a very large walk-in tiled stall, add to this excellent towels-extra large. Super friendly staff and you get a surprise gift bag upon checking in. They are in the Linen District and 1/2 block away is the Neon Grove, a collection of vintage business neon signs installed along 1 block which lights up at night! If you enjoy seeing modern murals and grafitti art, a few blocks away is the renown "Freak Alley"...a 2 block long alley with side pocket of amazing artistry.

Cons:

with side
