Courtyard by Marriott Downtown Boise

Downtown | Epic Trails | Near Outlaw Field

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for 10 days in this townhouse and it worked perfectly for the 9 of us (my husband and me, one son and his wife, and one son and his wife and three children 9 and under). The only downside was that the bedroom with the three twins is down on the ground floor and the half bath is on the first floor and the other three bedrooms are on the third floor with the two full baths. Thankfully, the two granddaughters were OK to sleep so far from their parents, and the four-year-old slept on an air mattress in the master bedroom closet since it was huge. The location was great, close enough to downtown, and just down the hill from a walking path that took us to Chief Eagle Eye overlook with a great view of the smoky Boise skyline and Table Rock. Had we not been planning a three day backpacking hike in the Sawtooth Mountains, we might’ve just hiked all the way up to the top of Table Rock from the townhouse. The house had toys that the 4-year old loved, as well as a mini shuffleboard even the adults enjoyed. The microwave never worked properly and it took a while for a service call to happen, but the host responded quickly to my messages and reimbursed one night when the townhouse was re-roofed one long, noisy day.If we ever go back to Boise, this will be the house we rent. It was pretty perfect in every way."

Palazzo San Felipe GREAT VIEWS

8/10 Good

"This is a really cool old spanish style house with a great view and location. Overall we were pretty happy with the place and the fact they allow pets is great. The house does feel a bit like someone inherited it and did the minimum to convert it to a rental. It is very well decorated, but the couches and rugs are very old and just feel dirty, as well as the comforters on a couple of the beds. The towels were terribly cheap and worn and for some reason all of the wall mounted toilet paper and towel holders seemed to be broken. We would stay here again, but a few updates to some of the furniture and towels would go a long ways."
