Hotel Renegade
The property was clean, and presented well, but absolutely no warmth. The bell staff was excellent, the front desk seemed to be on their phones for the most part.

Hyatt Place Boise/Towne Square
Nice staff, decent hotel breakfast. Rooms were a bit dingy but the biggest red flag was the $100 pet fee. If you’re traveling with a pet, there are lots of better hotels for this price when you factor in the extra $100 fee.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Boise Towne Square
Stayed in a first floor room and the drain in the bathroom was letting a sewer smell come in so bad we could smell it in the entire room. Told the gal at the front desk and she acted disgusted we said anything- we just mentioned they should check the drain in that room due to smell.
