A most convenient place
It is a great place to stay in Boise. It is close to BSU, Boise Library, the State Museum, the State Historical Society, a grocery store, and many fine restaurants, and it is not far from downtown. It serves a fine breakfast and has helpful staff. I just wished handicapped parking was a little closer and I would be placed not so far from the elevator.

I stay at this hotel about once a month. This month I was in a handicap room and it was not very comfortable. The bed was not like the other beds I have had at this hotel. Plus no creamer for the coffee and the body lotion container did not work. Usually I give this hotel a big thumbs up.
