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!

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.
