Top Discovery Center of Idaho Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Boise - University Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, friendly staff, convenient to Boise State"

Hyatt Place Boise/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We will stay again the next time we are in Boise!"

Red Lion Hotel Boise Downtowner

10/10 Excellent

"Everything s good"

Mountain Lines & Slatted Calm | Cozy Modern Loft

8/10 Good

"Loved the location in Boise. Negatives of the place are they require a later check in then most places at 5pm. (Typical check in is at 3 or 4pm) They also want an earlier check out then most at 10am. Typically check out in all my travel experience is 11am (We travel frequently!!!!). It is also a little confusing on how to get into the unit with finding a lockbox located on a bike amongst a lot of other bikes and then you have to repark before accessing the unit. They also will not send you the check in instructions until 2 hours prior to check in. We were on a plane and it is a LONG 1 page of directions on how to check in!!!! We found that frustrating!! Trying to read that all after being jet lagged and tired was not a great way to start the stay. Most places share that information the day before you travel in my experience. The unit is nice and location is great."

Home2 Suites By Hilton Boise Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"This location was perfect and near by and walkable in the downtown area, Basque center and a Trader Joes."

Kasa on the River Boise

8/10 Good

"room was well-appointed, though a hair dryer would have been very nice. room was very clean except for the bathroom (walls needed a scrub, shower wall above stall had some mildew, fabric curtain was dirty/showed wear, tub was stained). had a hiccup getting the check in / registration in time being a past user, but support was quick and helpful so still seamless to use. pool was closed, would have been nice to know that, but otherwise a great second stay! will book again!"
