If you don't care for cigarette smell, no ice machine, slightly dirty room, and cheap rooms. This hotel is for you. Service was okay, receptionist was nice. Close to downtown Boise and sushi place, which was a plus for us. To be frank, it did justice for us. Especially for just one night.

2/10 Poor

There were several homeless/transient/houseless people obviously placed there; not all, but most were very impolite, rude, and several (at least 6 times over 3 days) asked me for money or food I could spare. The people in the room next to me smoked cigarettes on the balcony and the smoke wafted into my room when I had the sliding door open for fresh air…my laptop and business papers were stolen from in front of my door when I stepped onto elevator for only a brief moment; the room was somewhat clean, there was dust/dirt on floor, table and counter, the bathroom floor was dirty, the tub had yummy film on sides, the shower door had soap scum and the vanity mirrors were smeared. The bed was comfortable. The sofa and chairs were very outdated, dirty, and stained. Lighting was poor. Great view of the mountains and downtown city. Staff was pleasant, only one person available at front most times I stopped by, could not help locate my stolen property, told me to cal police, police responded, but people in room next door refused to answer door. Many many many visitors and noise with the “housed” people. Food was good. Atmosphere with all the homeless/transient people was very offsetting. I will not stay here again.

The staff were great and the breakfasts hot and good. The beds were great! The hotel itself is older and needs work. I was moved once due to a water leak and the new room was challenged on heat. I ultimately cut my trip one day short to leave.

Do not stay here
This was by far the worst hotel I’ve stayed in. My room had pet urine drenched in the floor and they changed me to 2 other rooms after I complained. They were all dirty. The staff told me they would discount my room for the problems and never did. There were people in the parking lot asking me if I had drugs. Unbelievable

Wish I had thought to take pictures!
Room was missing several lightbulbs, the floor was scratched, the entertainment center was broken, there was rust and mildew on the bathroom ceiling/vent, and the shower sprayed out of the shower head sideways and soaked the bathroom if the curtain wasn't perfectly in place to block it. The only luggage carts were on the second floor and we weren't allowed to use them because they were "for the homeless that lived on the second floor," according to a staff member. The elevator got stuck open while we were there too. There's a group of homeless people who sit out front and try to get people to pay them to help carry luggage.

Cheap room, now I know why
The hotel was inexpensive and they allowed pets. The pictures look decent. However, just because its economical doesn't mean they should cut corners on quality. The rooms were filthy, the breakfast wasn't even a good continental breakfast the floors of the hotel and elevators needed mopped. The people were nice but lazy. One clerk did her best and discounted the room because of our experience. We would have gladly paid the price or more if this hotel was upkept. Cheap shouldn't mean low quality or below health standards. Because they Allow pets the ground were covered in excrement. We are responsible pet owners and clean up after our pet, we didn't see anyone else do that. We booked 7 days and couldn't find another hotel after we arrive. So we came home and showered and washed everything. Not a good experience.

Ba humbug
Upon arriving after making reservations weeks in advance, they had given away my king room with a jetted tub on Christmas Eve which was a gift to me from my husband. The man behind the counter was very professional and nice and offered me $40 off a regular room. I was not happy.. but he assured me I could have the room the following afternoon. We got a corner king with a balcony which wasn’t bad, except for the television didn’t work. The phone didn’t work, not plugged in or something could not reach front desk and upon going down to the desk to speak with them from the third floor, the elevator didn’t work and I had to take the stairs several times due to first the phone didn’t work second the television didn’t work third. The ice machine didn’t work and then last, but not least the elevator didn’t work. The next day I spoke with the manager about what had happened . She basically told me it was my own fault for making reservations through a third-party such as Hotels.com or expedia.com and if I wanted a refund on my reservation to call ask the third party for it because she wasn’t going to even though I paid in full at her hotel. It was NOT a very Merry Christmas !
