Top Discovery Center of Idaho Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Boise - University Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This property is located in a business district and issue therefore quiet throughout the evening and during the night. It is located near several top rated eating establishments. I find it a real treat when staying in downtown Boise."

Hotel 43

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Easy parking. Fabulous restaurant on site. Room clean and comfortable. Staff great"

The SPARROW

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the room with a queen bed and bunk beds. The room was clean and well laid out, the bathroom looked very new and everything worked, nothing leaked. We didn’t try the little Nintendo gaming machine that was plugged into the tv but I thought that was a nice touch. They didn’t have parking available for my stay but it was probably cheaper to park in the street anyways - it’s less than $4 to park from 8am to noon, and we were out by then, and didn’t come back to the hotel until after the street parking is free at night. The lobby cafe was reasonably priced."

Kasa on the River Boise

Hyatt Place Boise/Downtown

"Very nice stay in downtown Boise. Clean, well appointed two bedroom two bath apartment. Excellent communication with our host made the check-in, check-out steps effortless. Roof top seating with tables offered great views of downtown and the sunset. Winco is right across the street for any shopping needs, and parking is a secure reserved spot in the building. Highly recommend this stay!"
