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.
Sari, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel was very nice and located near many restaurants. My only complaint is how noisy it is. They have a bowl of complimentary earplugs at the front desk, due to noise complaints from past guests, but it still does not completely help.

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.
