Showed up and they didn't have our 2 queen beds I reserved. Got in a different room and went to take a shower and no shower curtain. Waited 20 minutes after calling front desk before I had to get it myself.

Win't stop there again.
The hotel is run down and absolutely in a run down state. The personnel were friendly and helpful. The foyer looks good and clean. The bar area is old and doesn't look good. The hotel upstairs looks horrible. The carpets are so diety. The room was clean. The bed was clean. Wooden floors in the room made it better. No dirty carpets. The towels were clean and enough. Would I stop there again? No I wouldn't.

It should be said that this property is also a homeless shelter. Why not say that on your listening? We were traveling with kids and would have chosen to stay somewhere else had we known this. When we pulled up there was a person obviously on drugs walking around the front picking up used cigarettes. We tried canceling our reservation prior to check in and the manager would not get back to us. They still have not gotten back to us and now we will be out $150 but we didn’t feel good about leaving our vehicle there with things in it as we are traveling right now. We saw the condition and the location and knew we wouldn’t stay there and tried canceling prior to check in but the manager has been unreachable and they are the only one to allow a refund.

All was fine, but the check-in process was pretty slow. There was only one person at the desk and several people in line. Also, I checked out early and was told my receipt would be sent by email. It hasn't arrived.

Avoid this hotel at all cost. Extremely run down property, very filthy hotel rooms, hallways, outside property all in need of a deep cleaning. Plenty of dogs inside lobby area and ready to grab your sausage from you in the breakfast area. Boise is beautiful this hotel is not.
