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 :)

Inexpensive and quiet nights sleep
Pros:

The bed was comfortable and the TV had plenty of channels to choose from. I really liked the scent of the provided soap and shampoo.

Photos Misleading
Pros:

Cheap.

Cons:

1) The mattress was 100 years old and had no springs left in it. No duvet, just sheets
2) The door frame was crooked and people can look in the room from the hall way and clearly see the inside.
3) All walls of all the bathroom were cracked or peeling.
4) Dogs barking all night and because the walls were not soundproof you could hear everything.
