This is an older property but the location on the Boise river is wonderful. The breakfast is lovely and full service. Facilities are nice . Rooms on river side have been nicely upgraded. The Sandpiper restaurant onsite has music and fun environment. We stay here every time we are in Boise.

Well I have mixed feelings about our stay. The hotel is large and a bit of a maze - the map given has printing errors so 1st time it’s easy to get lost. Parking can be challenging as the various lots get full. Breakfast is ok, the made to order omelettes are excellent but the rest is bang average and quite often you have to wait to be seated, on the first day there were 10 people in front of us. It is very busy with conferences going on and lots of people. The free shuttle to downtown is good but the return wait was lengthy - they do say they prioritise the airport runs but when you ring up for collecting from downtown then wait an hour as the shuttle was diverted to an airport run a call to advise of the delay would’ve been nice. The location by the river is nice and the Sandbar patio bar was excellent with great food & live music. The room was nice and the beds comfortable, although initially the TV didn’t work properly - reported it to the front desk as we went out then on our return had to ring down as it hadn’t been fixed, then strangely started working ok. Overall I would sum up the hotel as its trying hard to be upmarket but I feel it’s like an all inclusive resort, it’s like a jack of all trades but master of none. Out of 4 hotels we’ve stayed at on this trip this is definitely No 4 on the list.

It was very loud. The people upstairs sounded like they were throwing furniture around. At 2:30am there were people in the hall screaming and arguing. Walls felt paper thin. We could hear everything in the next room. Worst night’s sleep.

Although I gave them 5 stars in most areas the overall 3 star review is because of the breakfast buffet. The potatoes on the buffet were cold. I mean cold and hard. Then even after I politely let someone know the potatoes were just left in place. I don’t like breakfast buffets to begin with but cold hard nasty food makes it worse.

Great room, great breakfast, great location!
It was a pleasant surprise to get offered a cookie upon my arrival. The staff were great, thorough and very helpful. The breakfast buffet is the best I've ever had at a hotel, with absolutely amazing house-cooked maple bacon that had to be 1/4 inch thick. The tub was very large and the counter space in the room was very long and spacious. I couldn't have been happier with the large size of the room, the great staff and the delicious breakfast. I came on a Monday night, so there was too long of a wait for my preference at the Sandbox because Monday's are live music nights, but I'm sure this would have been a plus if I was able to factor it in. Plus this hotel was right by the River Walk so I could walk to my conference each morning, enjoying the beautiful scenery and great weather.
