If I didn't have to be rudely awakened due to the noise from the metal garbage bin during the wee hours of the morning accompanied by dumpster truck collecting garbage with loud bangs for over 30 minutes two nights in a row, I would have rated this property 5 star.

Really cute spot in downtown Boise!

Staff was incredibly accommodating. From our late check in to helping with a little birthday celebration for my boyfriend who was traveling with me on his birthday, they were fantastic. Location is also great. Easy to get to and find.

Lovely Centrally Located Hotel

Great location, staff and vibe, we only had an issue with the barn style bathroom door coming off its rail becoming incredibly difficult to move. Best bed sheet ever though.

Comfortable, functional, and stylish

I loved this hotel. The room was super clean and spacious. The room was pet friendly and still had zero pet smell, which was so nice! The bed was super comfortable. The best thing about it, though, was all the thoughtful details throughout, like shelves in the bathroom to keep toilettries organized and all the space to layout luggage and hang clothes. I would definitely stay here again.

great location

The room was super clean and everything looked fairly new. Really liked having a Fellow water boiler in the room so we could make coffee or tea (coffee makers always look a little gross) with the provided coffee, tea bags, and mugs. The room is minimalist, but I still felt like there was good storage - we were able to hang our rain jackets on the little coat rack, there were little side tables on both sides of the bed for phones/earplugs/whatever, and outlets were plentiful. Really comfy just lounging in bed or the couch watching TV. Staff were attentive and checked in via text to see if we needed anything. Location is great - we walked everywhere around downtown. I will note that the doors will not close *all* the way on their own, so you'll need to give it a little push or pull to hear the lock autoengage. Would stay here again if I were ever in Boise again.
