This place was fantastic. We brought the dog and the little gifts they gave took "dog friendly" up a notch. It's like they're royal guests! Overall loved the room, the modern design, the fun patio and the food cart, and the cafe inside. Absolutely delightful place to stay, with fun downtown Boise activities only steps away.

The rooms were nice. We shared a room with a friend and the bathroom door is barn door style and slides so it didn’t feel like you have much privacy. They have a strong essential oil smell throughout the hotel hallways. Other than that it was a convenient hotel downtown. I would rate it 7.5 out of 10.

I stayed there for just one night, but wow - what a gem! Conveniently located to many restaurants and shops. Great modern design. Friendly staff. Extra clean room. Only wish they disclosed their parking fee upfront (it's not mentioned anywhere on the website).
