Clean and friendly hotel with walkable access to Boise State campus. The staff was so accommodating and offered a really nice breakfast spread. The pool area and outdoor patio were clean and had a couple outdoor seating areas. Our 1st floor room was pretty dark.

Beautiful centrally located hotel

Stayed at this gem over Labor day weekend. We walked to the Spirit of Boise activities (that we did not know about prior to arriving and was fantastic!) The breakfast menu was very good with multiple choices of hot food, waffles, breads, etc. each day. All the employees were friendly and helpful.

Absolutely beautiful property. The staff was excellent—friendly efficient and accommodating. Rooms are very clean, updated and quiet. Location is adjacent to the BSU campus. There is a lot of traffic around that area, but roads and travel was very easy. We had the opportunity to see Tim McGraw (he was live at the BSU ExtraMile venue)—we walked to and from the concert. Really great time and we will be back to stay at the Residence Inn.
