Hotel Renegade
Amazing room! World class hotel. Really sweet staff. Cute coffee shop. The restaurant though…it was terrible. I was served raw chicken and the salad was very sad. Plan to eat elsewhere but definitely a lovely hotel.

Oxford Suites Boise
Best hotel ever! They make you feel at home. That’s what I love about family owned businesses. The staff was fantastic as well. I enjoyed the Oxford Social hour. The breakfast buffet was “chefs kiss”. I will be coming back for sure. The room was just amazing …and those deep bath tubs…5 stars.
