Top Downtown Boise Hotel Reviews

Inn at 500 Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"Great location The staff were cordial, polite and respectful. I liked the room decor The room was clean, bed was comfortable"

Modern Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I loved this place. It was quirky and clean and, well, modern. I wasn't expecting to be able to check out a bicycle, but it was a perfect way to get around flat downtown Boise. The location was great and I loved the gnome holding up the record player in the bathroom off the front desk. The staff was helpful and the breakfast was good too. One of my favorite stays on a long road trip and reasonably priced as well!"

Hyatt Place Boise/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great property smack dab in the middle of town. Lots of restaurants and coffee shops close by. The state capital is only 2 blocks away and the city park along the river is a 10-minute walk. Perfect location to enjoy the city of Boise, it's a very nice facility with a great staff."
