My boss chose this property for a two-day training for which I did on-site support. I was not crazy about the location within Boise (almost 2 miles from downtown), but I was very happy with the choice given the parameters.

I would hold a meeting again there because the service for the sleeping room and meeting was superior. Anything I wanted, from poly instead of feather pillows to more diet sodas for my participants, appeared within 3 minutes of my call. Staff was understanding, responsive, and friendly.

My room was near the lobby and nightclub area with a view of the highway, but noise was not a problem. I found the property to be old-around-the-edges. I'm told it's going to undergo renovation.

Unfortunately, the restaurant in the lobby area is not managed by the same staff who run the front desk and meetings because I have nothing too positive to say about it. Except that Chapala Mexican restaurant is not a far walk.

Stayed here for two nights while husband had business meetings. Rooms were large, bed was new and very comfortable. Water was hot, showers nice, free paper in the AM, I loved the shaded grounds, walking the paths, sitting by the river, the pool was delightful and I loved the sprawling floor plan. They had numerous conferences going on... but yet it felt like the place was all mine. Check out the lovely heated pool, grape arbor and gazebo. Staff was friendly and wow - they still give out hot chocolate chip cookies. It is close to downtown, a freeway exit away from the mall. Mapquest it though, cause the last few turns are a little tricky. I didn't bring a laptop along (they have in room internet) and was pleased to find an internet cafe at no charge.

Our room could have used more light, was definately aging and the carpet was plain old dirty looking. Saw an empty suite that appeared lovely from the door... so maybe part of the rooms have been redone. My husband, who was there to sleep only, found the room dissapointing. However, I would stay again gladly and it would be a great place to bring a camera for cool pics.

Had a king bed, garden view room. Garden was actually the pool. Room was great size, very clean, soft bed. Only noise was from slamming doors in hallway. Could use a little updating but noting wrong with our stay. Staff was friendly & helpful. We would stay there again!

Big sprawling two storey hotel and function venue about a mile and a half from downtown Boise. What was probably once a lovely location on the riverside has been somewhat spoiled by the I-184, which has cut it off in an island of confusing one way streets.

Lobby and public areas were clean and well kept, but looking a little tired in places. Check in was OK, if a little fussy. We then drove some little way round the perimeter to our room, it would be quite a hike with luggage if arriving by taxi or shuttle from the airport!
On opening the door our room was actually quite a surprise, much nicer than I had expected from what I had seen of the property so far! It was spacious and comfortable, with a couch, a large desk and a separate table with chairs and looked as if it had been recently re-modelled. Bathroom was clean, with a supply of toiletries. There was also a vanity unit with sink, well lit mirror and more towels and toiletries in a “lobby” area between the bathroom and the rest of the room, a useful facility when two people are trying to get ready to go out at once.
The gardens to the rear of the property were another pleasant surprise, lovely lawns and rose bushes with trees providing shady nooks and a nice outdoor pool. This has access to the Riverside Walk and we enjoyed a lovely stroll to downtown for dinner one night.

This is a difficult property to sum up. We have stayed several times in Boise and all of the hotels have issues; the downtown properties are mainly overpriced or sub standard, while none of the outlying hotels are really conveniently located. There are a whole crop of new places opening up that look interesting, but at the moment seem to be reluctant to offer deals attractive to the leisure traveller.
Overall I would say that I have reservations about using Priceline in Boise, and I certainly wouldn’t pay rack rate for the Doubletree, but if it came up at the right price on Hotwire I would not hesitate to stay again.
