On a road trip thru Boise I stayed one night at this property. It was a fine stop over with a very comfortable bed (to my pleasant surprise) and the room was very clean. The whole motel is a bit dated, but very clean in it's appearance. It was obvious there was extensive maintenance activity taking place. I had the opportunity to chat with the management and discovered there had been a recent change and the direction of the new management was to bring the property up the standards of newly built motels. It will be interesting to watch the planned progress. The free breakfast bar was tasty with plenty of selection. I enjoyed this breakfast better than I did the $45.00 breakfast buffet I had each day for two weeks on a recent work trip to Italy.

They have just installed free Wi-Fi internet access, which is a must for todays business travelers. I was most impressed with the staff I came across. The front desk was very friendly, the chef for the breakfast bar had a happy disposition and looked like he was enjoying his work. As I was leaving, I ran into two of the housekeepers and they both were friendly and upbeat. Staff happiness tells me a lot about the way the property is run.

Overall I would highly recommend this property. It felt more like a hometown accommodation rather than a big, cold major chain.

I WILL stay here again.

Spent one night on a business trip. Found it to be clean, with good beds (I'm picky) and almost like walking into my childhood. Even had an old massage shower head. Room was good size, wall of windows with sliding door out to deck or patio.Very comfortable recliner. Pool is randomly half in and out of a building... but it does give shade in the shallow end. Water didn't look sparkling but was actually quite nice. Hot tub looked nice but was being serviced. The play area of grass is actually green plastic turf. Easy location could walk to hospital and right off freeway. Noise was noticiable outside but not inside.

We were in Boise for a soccer tourney with our kids. Our room was very clean, and the location was close to where we needed to be. The employees were very helpful, and the price compared to the other places we called seemed pretty reasonable. It is an older property, but we our stay was ok.

Hotel was a little more dated then I expected , could use some all around updates in the rooms and exterior. but for the most part the room was clean. Had the convenience of onsite cafe, lounge and offered room service, free shuttle to and from airport and to and from the mall.. I booked online with the hotel website/choicehotels.com and got an internet user hotel rate which was $69.26 (king bed) and by the time all the room tax, and safe warranty charges added up we ended up paying about $80 a night and is not worth that, would expect more for that price, the rooms should be econo lodge prices $49.99 a night...We experienced very friendly hotel, restaurant and lounge staff, but again all could use updates....We were not in our room much, as we were there for our sons State Track Meet at Bronco Stadium, hotel was in a good location for us, close to airport, mall, bronco stadium & downtown, freeway access was great. We had a room on 2nd floor with balcony facing the courtyard and pool area (no grass just outdoor green carpet) which was also facing the freeway, was loud with traffic noise in the morning and afternoon, but had no trouble at night. Also located next to a hospital therefore we had multiple sirens throughout our stay, but again no problem sleeping at night. I have mixed feelings about the hotel? It was not the best, but was okay, room rates over priced for what you get......I may stay again next year for our visit, but not sure? Our kids stayed at the doubletree by the stadium along with other parents and was told that the doubletree is not at all worth the room rate...
