Top Old Idaho Penitentiary Hotel Reviews

Hotel Renegade

8/10 Good

"The rooftop bar is great. Food is very good. The female made fantastic drinks. Whey should make a ton of the in house made cordials. Everyday we heard that certain drinks were not available because they didn’t have enough home made cordials. That’s not a good excuse, you’re a bar and should have plenty on hand if your drinks are calling for them. Our family has been in the bar business for years and if you make it, they will come! My advise to the plant lady is not to use manure in the planters on the rooftop. Especially when the hotel is having a wedding going on, the smell was so offensive that no one enjoyed sitting outside."

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."
