Overall my stay felt like a bad fever dream. Would not recommend, would not stay again.
Pros:

The front desk manager was kind enough. The towels and sheets were clean.

Cons:

The mattress had a low spot in it so bad that while laying down my feet were higher than my head. Motel had a generally sketchy vibe that outdid most Motel 6's I have stayed at.

Bad stay in Boise!
Pros:

The refrigerator and TV worked

Cons:

For the price this was one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in! The room smelled, the floor was dirty, one of the beds frame was broken, the very small full size beds were uncomfortable, the property was rundown, the bathroom toilet paper wasn't placed on a dispenser and half the lights didn't work

Just a place to get a few hours off the road. Keep going and you'll find a Super 8 for about the same price.
Pros:

The gal at the front desk was friendly and pleasant.

Cons:

It's tucked in the back of several properties, upkeep on the overall property needs major attention. The microwave in the room had to be moved in order to reach an outlet. Room was rundown and in need of deep cleaning in order to maintain a decent cleaning schedule. There was dirt and trash from previous travelers under the bed and behind the dresser hid various screws and other things that don't belong. The bathroom fixtures were old and rusty. It was questionable so the shower wasn't used.

First bed in world that is a bathtub shape.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

It was dirty. The bed mattress is sagging so bad it may as well be an half way unenflated air mattress. I had to take my cleaning wipes to clean the toilet seat. The room was not cleaned...bathroom, floors, surfaces. If we were not on empty, energy wise and on a tight budget, we would have moved to a different facility. I will never recommend or ever return to this facility.

Pros:

Nothing, walking in the front desk guy was higher than a kite and it smelled like marijuana.

Cons:

Everything in the room was dirty, the lighting was horrible, just the whole place alone was filthy and smelled. Wouldn't recommend this place at all and wouldn't return.

Highly disappointed. Will not return. Will not stay in a place where my pets safety has to be a
Pros:

There was no breakfast offered. Location was good

Cons:

Our dog was attacked going to our room by another guests dog, which came out of tgrir open room and pinned her to the ground. Didn’t seem real important when I reported it. Tv didn’t work. Took over an hour for some one to fix it. Shower was in desperate need of deep cleaning. Toilet paper dispenser was disgusting. No cover plate on the electrical outlet. People smoking just outside of entrance. Not a pleasant stay.

Pros:

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. When I checked in the room they gave me had not been cleaned at all. There was trash all over inside, before I was covered in sticky stuff that had been spilled. There were dirty towels all over the floor beds were unmade. I do remember my money back and they gave me a different room which had at least been clean but was still pretty disgusting. Felt unsafe at this property. Will never stay here again.

Cons:

Everything!

Quiet and Comfortable :)
Pros:

I was driving thru Boise on my way to Washington state from Arizona in an already stressful and emotional situation in my life, and the gentleman at the front desk made (I didn't get his name sadly) my experience wonderful. He went above and beyond what I expected him to do, was friendly and made good conversation and was just such a breath of fresh air...thank u so much

Cons:

It says "Pet Friendly" on the website, but I learned this doesnt include ALL pets...If it could be changed to "Dogs Only"? That would be helpful thank you :)
