Good bang for your buck!
Pros:

It was very walkable and for the price point the hotel was great!

Cons:

This is more of a preference but would be an even better stay if they cleaned the room everyday instead of every third day.

A playfully designed convenient and comfortable hotel in the heart of downtown Boise.
Pros:

Very cute style and comfortable room with all the amenities we needed. Loved the location.

Cons:

The sliding door in our room for the bathroom would not stay shut on its own, and there is no fastener, so we had to pull a stool into the bathroom to put against the door to hold it shut when using the restroom. Not a great design... you need to at least add a latch or something. Also, I thought I saw on the listing at Booking.com that parking was included (not an additional $15/day) but it is what it is.

Happy to Nest There
Pros:

We got very courteous service from Jody who was working at the front desk. She was very helpful with finding us a parking spot for our pickup which was loaded with items we were in the process of moving from Moscow to Boise for our granddaughter. We needed to feel that it would be secure overnight. She was great!

Cons:

We have no complaints. This is the second time we've stayed at the Sparrow.

Such a sweet space.
Pros:

Fabulous location. Helpful staff. Fun and clever boutique hotel.

Cons:

Hallways a little “echo” ie. but that’s okay. I just felt bad that I could hear guests outside in hallway and they could prob hear me when they were in their room.
