Brand new, sparkling clean, good simple amenities. Rooms resemble EURO/dorm rooms with very comfy bed with polyester sheets. Large walkin shower and spacious bathroom. Windows have screens and can be opened. Refrig in room, no microwave. Metal cups not plastic. Hairdryer supplied. Convenient plugs for your electronics at head height so you can keep in touch or turn off your phone alarm. Coffee shop in lobby open til late afternoon; food truck on premesis (we did not eat there). Walking distance to other great food eateries, some of which are closed Sun/Mon). Parking is good. We’ll be back. Everything you need and nothing you don’t!

Parking tight and only available first come first serve. People at front desk friendly but messed up my billing and room number. The coffee shop only had granola bowls at 8:30 am even though hot breakfast items were on the menu.

The parking situation is tight right now but there is a deck being built so that’ll sort that out. If you get an alley facing room though you may hear the garbage being taken out or picked up but overall it’s not a big deal. It’s a gorgeous location and has amazing rooms.

The rooms were so cute and modern. They were clean and the service was great. Only complaint was the small parking lot but this understandable being in downtown Boise in a small place.

They remolded what was probably a “motel” very nicely, but the noise levels are ridiculous. You can literally hear every word of your neighbor talking, toilets flushing, and the street noise might as well been in the room. So cute place, but only stay there if you hate sleeping. Never again Sparrow… you fooled me once
