"Quality for price"

The hotel was a beauty in it's day but showing it's age. Rooms are huge and the bed and bedding very comfortable. The staff was incredibly nice and friendly. Would stay there again!

"This place should be condemned and we will be reaching out to code enforcement in Boise."

The hallway leading to our room was cut up and covered with duct tape. The door to the room next door had clearly been axed open and an attempt was made to patch it with blue painters tape. The A/C didn’t work. There was pubic hair and soap residual in the shower. The hot water was scalding the minute you turned it on. I grew up in the neighborhood that this motel is located in. It was a very TOP end establishment for years! They should spend some of the exorbitant cost and invest in making this place a safe and decent establishment. The breakfast that they offered wasn’t food that I would feed to pigs and they didn’t have what they claimed to offer on the daily menu! We spoke to several guests and we all had the same opinion of disgust! We have made reservations on line and were locked in, with no chance for refund! The Cabana near there would have been a much better choice and it is a crap hole. My suggestion would be to go ANYWHERE but the Red Lion Downtowner in Boise!
