Stayed here for a 3 day 2 night stay over Labor Day weekend with my husband, in a single king bed room. Cost was $580 to book, however we booked with 47,000 Chase points through the Chase portal.
Pros:
- They usually offer a free airport shuttle, but because it wasn't running, they actually reimbursed the cost of the uber we took from the airport to the hotel!
- GREAT location: we didn't come with a rental car and didn't need one - it was walking distance or to a bunch of food places and bars, including Pie Hole, Yoi Tomo AYCE sushi, Western Proper, Boise Fry company, the art museum, the Basque street, you name it. Pretty much prime downtown location close to everything, and only like a less than 15 min ride to the airport
- Ask for free tickets to the Boise Art Museum! $6 value each haha
- GREAT sun-blocking curtains if you want to sleep in
- Amazing selection of TV channels
- Pretty comfortable bed
- The shower had the best water pressure I've experienced at a hotel so far
- We didn't utilize this benefit but they have complimentary bikes to borrow
- All the staff were very professional.
Cons:
- Thankfully I didn't pay the full price for this hotel - but based on the amenities, it feels like it should have been in the $400 range for a 2 night stay, not $500. I definitely would not have stayed here if I had to pay the full $580.
- NO complimentary breakfast options, not even like a grab and go donut kind of thing. There is a convenient cafe downstairs but you do have to pay.
- Our fridge seemed like it didn't have a good seal, and wasn't keeping our takeout leftovers very cold.
- No microwave in room, kind of inconvenient if you want to heat up leftovers.
- Kind of markets itself as a one of a kind luxury boutique hotel, but I would say it was more average and just gets the job done (not a bad thing, but a little on the pricier side).
Overall, 10/10 would stay here again if booked with points and didn't have a rental car. It does give you the convenience of being close to literally everything if you're a fan of walking. Things that could make it better would be breakfast, better room amenities. Overall a solid 4 stars.
