Top hotels in Boise
The Paramount Hotel
The hotel is pretty bare bones. There are very few amenities, if any. There is a snack shop but you can't charge it to your room. There is no room service and you can't order to your room. Our room was clean upon first inspection, however when I looked closely some of the linen seemed poorly cleaned ...

Park Lane Suites and Inn
Parking was very limited. We are handicap and have extreme difficulty walking far & up hill. We are not use to having such difficulty. There is only 1 handicap parking space.

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Portland International Airport, OR
Room was clean, beds were comfy. Breakfast was fresh/hot with limited offerings. We booked for location and the pool. My grandkids loved the pool. I appreciated the book exchange in the lobby and yummy cookies on check in. I would stay there again.
