We really enjoyed the Residency Inn. It was close to BSU where our son is going. It was easy to get in and out of the area if we needed to leave. We booked again for October. The breakfast were great! We wished it would stay open later on week days til 10a like they do on weekends, instead of 9:30am. The staff was wonderful and very helpful if we needed anything! I highly would recomend this Inn.

Clean and friendly hotel with walkable access to Boise State campus. The staff was so accommodating and offered a really nice breakfast spread. The pool area and outdoor patio were clean and had a couple outdoor seating areas. Our 1st floor room was pretty dark.

Beautiful centrally located hotel

Stayed at this gem over Labor day weekend. We walked to the Spirit of Boise activities (that we did not know about prior to arriving and was fantastic!) The breakfast menu was very good with multiple choices of hot food, waffles, breads, etc. each day. All the employees were friendly and helpful.
