We stayed at the hotel to attend a wedding in Boise. The hotel is nicely situated and our room overlooked the river and hike and bike trail. A free wired internet connection is provided in each room. The pool is very nice. The jets on the hot tub are situated too high and had the water spouting out of the tub.
The hotel is old and has a funky, mildewy odor throughout. When we arrived at our room at 3:30 p.m., a room service tray with the remains of the previous occupant's breakfast was sitting outside the door. The heat lamp in the bathroom was out; the pole lamp in the room was broken, and a couple of the lamps which were equipped with 3 way light switches only had single, low-wattage bulbs in them. The king size bed was very comfortable.
Several members of the wedding party arrived at the hotel to find the rooms they'd reserved several months earlier with two queen size beds were not available. The hotel was hosting some teen soccer clubs at the same time and had given those rooms to them.
The wedding reception was held in the grand ballroom and the facility and service were great.
Other than the reception dinner, we ate one meal (a breakfast) at the hotel. The hostess was rude. The waitress was very pleasant and kept smiling even though they were not adequately staffed and she was having to run to serve all the tables. The food was ok. The other 2 days of our stay, we hopped in the car and had breakfast at Moxie Java further down Chinden Blvd (good coffee and food, and pleasant staff).
One other very aggravating thing folks should be aware of, housekeeping at the hotel makes a very early start of cleaning the rooms. They were knocking on doors at 7:30 and 8:00 a.m. Make sure to put up the, "Privacy, Please" sign on your door if you don't want to be woken up early. Even with the sign, don't count on sleeping late because room doors could not be closed quietly and shut with a bang.
