Great location for your money

Very nice lobby. Fast desk check-in and helpful with info. I go on-foot, so being walking distance to downtown and the Greenbelt is a must. Great stay, so thank you, Red Lion!

The bed was just ok. The coffee maker had a small cord and we couldn't plug it in anywhere in the room.

Red Lion Boise

The hotel itself was ok. Dated but not terrible. The beds were comfy and had a nice big bathroom. But the ac did not work well and it was really warm out. The breakfast was almost non existent and you had to pay for it. We asked for housekeeping like we were told but the room did not get cleaned.
Jennifer, 3-night trip

We enjoyed our stay. Walking distance to downtown!
Kirsten, 2-night trip

Good price and friendly staff

Beds were great and front desk very helpful but the photos on Hotels.com and real life are not even close.
Guy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was barely clean, wallpaper was coming off in the halls, pool water was green. Hot tub jets did not work.
Krystle, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Polite and courteous staff

Nice staff! all in all it was good. The faucet dripped in the bathroom sink by the time we left it was a steady drip. we had a lightbulb out above the sink. The bed was very comfortable.

Slept well

I was disappointed that the hot tub wasnt working. Other than that it was a lovely stay for a business conference.
Angela, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Reasonable rate, close to town.
les, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Never again.

Flooring in the rooms are the most recent updates to therooms. Would find better accommodations at a low rate motel. Staff was the only saving grace.
2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The condition of the room was decent but the lobby and hallways were disgusting. Tape on the carpet on the second floor, carpet is rolling up, there was a door with a hole in it, a random bike tire sitting outside a room, a wet towel in the elevator when I went up to my room and was still there when I went down to the lobby about an hour later
Melissa, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

old carpets in hall. bathroom floor corners dirty

smelled ind
Terry, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Don’t believe the pictures.

Hallway carpet is way dirty and taped together with wrinkles all over. Several doors had marks from people trying to break in with a hammer or something. The holes in the doors were covered with tape. Hair on the bed, tv didn’t work, fridge hasn’t been cleaned, dirty soap in the shower, patio door wouldn’t lock. It was just gross. E we won’t be back.
Craig, 1-night trip

Poor experience

AC didn't work in any of the rooms they had available. Was supost to be fixed next day but afternoon came around no one showed to fix.
chad, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

room was comfortable and the furnace worked well. convenient location to the greenbelt trail.
Missy, 7-night trip

2/10 Poor

Disgusting

The room was absolutely disgusting. The bathroom was horrible. The sink was all cracked. The floor was dirty and there was dust everywhere. The air conditioner hardly worked and I couldn’t turn it down because they had it locked and it was 98° out. Never stay there again.
Tonie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff here are always so helpful. You can’t beat there price, and this hotel has character. I like that you can grab a night cap there as well.
Jack, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Last minute, well priced comfortable stay

It was comfortable and quiet. The front desk girl was very helpful and kind, and when my TV had an issue the maintenance man came to my room and fixed it even though he had clocked out for the evening. My room was clean. My room was 344 and the only criticism I might have would be a new shower head would make a huge difference in the experience. Very happy with my stay, I plan to stay again in the near future!
