Lovely hotel

Desk staff was very friendly at check in and we were always greeted when coming & going. Room was clean and cozy. Robes in the room is a very nice touch. Hotel is walking distance to all the downtown places. Coffee bar next to lobby too. Looking forward to staying again.

Great spot!

What a great spot! Swinging through town for a night with my family and two dogs. Easy, right downtown, can walk to get food right nearby, great little barista right in the lobby. Rooms are modern and clean and well taken care of. Lots of space in the room.

Modern, Fun, Affordable

Compact yet well-appointed, modern, clean and with lots of thoughtful touches. Our family of 3 stayed in the Sparrow King and were super comfy. The bed was awesome, the toiletries smell AMAZING and are not miniature and wasteful which I appreciate. I also appreciated the filtered water available. The location is great, very walkable to shops and restaurants. I would absolutely stay here if I were to find myself in Boise again.

super hip and trendy hotel in the heart of Boise

Very hip trendy hotel in the heart of Boise. I stayed at one of their other hotels in Bozeman and it was very similar. I love the mountain modern style, and it has a great indoor and outdoor lobby area that people actually enjoy hanging out in. The room was very comfortable, shower and bathroom was great, and mattress and pillows super comfy. Location was perfect - you can walk to everything without being in the middle of the noise.
