We look forward to an overnight stay at The Sparrow and downtown Boise on our way home to Oregon after a week of mountain biking in Utah. We’ve stayed here three consecutive years and can’t think of a more enjoyable final stop on our vacation. Very friendly welcoming staff, great location for walking to dining and shopping and just a few blocks from the Greenbelt for a morning bike ride.
