Will not stay there again.
Pros:

Location was great. Staff was nice.

Cons:

The room backed onto an alley so it was very noisy. Fire detector blinked all night, was very bright. Bed was not very comfortable. The room rate was extremely high and they charged extra for parking.

Pros:

Location is great!

Cons:

I can be sensitive to smells…the air freshener used in the hallways was not pleasant. It also just didn’t fit the hotel vibe. Something citrus/lemon fresh, or nothing at all, would be great

Best place in Boise
Pros:

Staff was absolutely amazing! I was helped many times by all of the staff. I was greeted coming in late at night after leaving early in the morning. I was given great recommendations about local food areas to check out. If I'm ever back into Boise I would definitely check this place out again.

Cons:

The walls are a little thin. Hearing the cheerleader group of girls was a little loud.

Small town feels in the big city
Pros:

The property was centrally located and had a small town feel in the big city. The staff were super helpful and willing to give pointers on things to do and where to go. They have a cafe right in the main lobby area so you can get your morning caffeine fix and they even do beer and wine. It was February so the patio wasn’t really open but I imagine it’s fun when the weather gets nicer. Overall a nice spot to check out

Cons:

Can’t really think of anything I didn’t enjoy about it. If anything maybe the gym hours, but that really was my fault. They partner with a local gym and I was either too late to try and go or it wasn’t open yet. Let’s be honest, being on a work trip, I didn’t really have the time.
