Really nice hotel, a little bit farther out from downtown which made it quieter. Right next to the greenbelt walking trail which was great. Outdoor pool area is lovely. Sara at the front desk was super friendly and helpful getting me checked in.

Had a fabulous 3 night stay at this property while in town for work. I find this location very convenient for getting anywhere in the Treasure Valley. Restaurants nearby are easily walkable and I especially like its closeness to the Greenbelt for evening walks. The rooms/beds are comfortable and always very clean! I joined the free happy hour (beer, wine, snacks) they offer on Wednesday evening this visit and it was very enjoyable! I’ll definitely be back!

I enjoyed the hot tub. I also enjoyed the beds. I really hate soft beds so I was able to get a good night's rest. The breakfast spread was wonderful. My mother and I enjoyed our stay there.

Only complaint and it’s me being a little too picky. When there is too much cleaner in the water to mop floors with the floors, have a sticky residue. They’re clean, but your shoes stick to them. This was the case in the bathroom of the hotel room. Certainly don’t wanna be barefoot on it.
