10/10 Exceptional

The room was great and the check in was flawless. The elevator is super slow though.
Eddie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good to Very Good

Front desk service was extremely good room was above average. The hotel seems to be under construction as the hallways need refurbished dramatically overall, it was worth the money spent.
Mark, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Thank you

This hotel was just fine. Super friendly front desk. Bed was clean and really comfortable, sink, toilet, shower not so much. However, I'd stay again for the price we paid.

Ginger, 2-night trip

Updates being made but still great service

This large hotel is in the midst of some over due updating and expansion. The staff were excellent, the beds and pillows extremely comfortable, room was clean and the meals good.

Dead lion Inn

This hotel is very run down. A/c broken was not advised at check in. We checked right out. They use this hotel to shelter the homeless and it is in horrendous conditions. Smells, duct tape carpet…you get the idea.
Candis, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The room was way better than the lobby and hallways led us to believe, but it was still a million degrees in there. Bed was comfortable.
Elesa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It’s a nice place to stay and it’s really close to downtown, parks and other attractions
Alejandro, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel itself was beautiful, and I had a great room with a beautiful view. The amenities were excellent and the staff were very nice.
Michelle, 1-night trip

Very old, employees and guests from the neighboring strip club stay here.
Ross, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stay as promised, family enjoyed room and stay was comfortable. Price was excellent for accommodations. Highly recommend for your convenience.
Lillian, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Don’t stay here!!

Air conditioning did not work in the room and was replaced with box fans, poop was still in the toilet, linens did not look clean, breakfast was a joke there was literally nothing to eat a hour before they were scheduled to shut down, sketchy part of town!!!
Loyal Marie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

All of the hotel staff were absolutely amazing! Everyone I encountered went above and beyond to make sure that my family and I had the most comfortable stay! Rooms were spacious and clean and the breakfast was wonderful!
Hector, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Just need to do something about the air conditioning that's for sure
Aaron, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

Good Times in Boise

I can't begin to describe the FUN! From playing Guess That Stain to hunting for a working ice machine to getting so excited when the elevator actually comes! And my wife and I were really impressed by how much fun the group in the room next to us could have until 5 am. But seriously, we paid over $200 for an experience you would expect in a motel that charges $50 a night.
Robert, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Late Check In, Then good

The rooms was good, service was good, but we were supposed to be able to check in at 3pm and the room was not ready until 6:30, and that was a little disturbing to our trip's plan.
Alyssa, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

So bad we didn’t actually stay

This hotel was so terrible we ended up just leaving and staying at another hotel. The AC didn’t work in the whole hotel, the elevator was broken, there was duct tape and tons of stains on the rugs in the hallway. Our room smelled terrible too
Stephanie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Lost its glory

Room was comfortable and relatively clean but the walk down the hall way with duct taped carpet was disappointing. On the elevator I talked to a family that looked like they went swimming. The mother told me the pool was pretty scary and they didn’t swim. The lobby and check your n was good but that hallway was bad
Michael, 1-night trip

Good, thank you
Jennifer, 4-night trip

Jose, 10-night trip

I did not stay I had my room refunded and left, this is a very dirty hotel, from the bedspread, drapes and carpet all filthy
Teresa, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Was very stuffy on 7th floor. Thought there was A/C. Staff was very friendly. Bed was comfortable and jetted tub was nice. The ice machine did not work on many of the floors.
