6.6/10

During my stay at the hotel, I encountered a mix of positive and negative experiences. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff members were generally pleasant and helpful. However, the noise levels at night were disruptive, and there were significant issues with room service and maintenance responsiveness. Overall, despite some highlights, I wouldn't say this hotel met all my expectations.

Rooms

Service

6.0

The staff were helpful and polite, but there were lapses in the responsiveness to maintenance issues, and my requests for service weren't always addressed promptly.

Location

7.0

The hotel's location was quite convenient, being close to downtown Boise, but the immediate surroundings felt a bit unkempt with some questionable areas nearby.

Dining

7.0

The breakfast dining options were decent, with good portions, though the overall experience could use some enhancements in variety and availability.

Facilities

6.0

The hotel's facilities include a nice little cafe and lounge area, but maintenance needs attention to improve the overall quality of the environment.
