Residence Inn Boise Downtown/University

A great place to stay people there were so friendly and helpful. Nice breakfast and a great free shuttle to stop you places. Room is comfortable but the people make it. Good location for getting steps up walking to city Center on nice days shuttle as plan b.

Just had another great stay (July 21-24) at this Marriott Facility, enjoying standard flow of Bonvoy privileges. As a Bonvoy elite member consistently above Platinum over the years, I tend to take great service as granted wherever I go both domestically and internationally. After the recent terrible experience at SpringHill Suits Boise West/Eagle in June though, I realized the need to show appreciation to this Marriott facility. In addition to the nice staff at the front desk, great service, and prime location, Bonvoy member can really appreciate the Bonvoy hospitalities at this facility. The standard flow of Bonvoy privileges started with an email confirmation of my reservation, followed by a welcome email from Assistant GM Kerri Keith. Upon checking in, I got upgraded (whenever available) to R1422, a 2-story 2-bedroom high ceiling apartment in the quiet corner lot. As I entered the apartment, the rooms are cool and super clean, with the high ceiling fan on. Apparently, the flat has been specially prepared, with welcome message displayed on TV to have a personal touch, to really feel at home while away from home. The member privileges here exemplifies Bonvoy standards around the World, the reason why we have chosen Marriot for. Thanks for everything! I am sure to be back soon. Dr. Z

This property is overdue for an upgrade. The best I can say it is minimally functional. Our unit was 2bed/2bath to share with another couple. The shared living space is really not adequate for 4 people. There is however a nice 4 person bar-height kitchen table..with only 2 chairs. We had planned to eat together..since there really is no other place in the unit to eat. (this is marketed as an extended stay property) Also no hangers in the closets? Nice coat closet but what it the point if they cannot provide hangers? Thought inadequacies were just oversights. No problem I will just ask at the front desk for the chairs and hangers..but I was advised NOPE!! Nobody gets 4 chairs..or extra hangers. Wait..a unit set up for (most likely) two couples..and nobody can project we would all like to sit at the table at the same time? Sorry, again NOBODY gets more than 2 chairs. She did offer to maybe let me have some lobby chairs but since they were not bar height, like the only table in the unit, that was an absurd alternative. So that was their final answer...until I wrote a note to corporate and suddenly "an exception could be made" and they would give me two more chairs and maybe even some hangers, like this was a HUGE favor/exception . this is the level of pettiness and penny pinching that makes me feel totally uncomfortable. No pride in anything in the property..all workmanship looks like a child did it...Oh and let's not forget their petty revenue grabbing $5 parking fee. This is not downtown where parking is a premium it is a huge and mostly empty lot but they need that extra $5 per day. This place is probably capitalizing on its proximity to the University and other popular destinations, but when I did some looking around there were similar places in better condition for less money.

The staff were very friendly however the place is a bit tired around the edges. The beds are clean and comfortable. The breakfast offering is ok..the staff in the breakfast room are very friendly....most of the food is tasteless....even the coffee is rather grim...... It is conveniently close too on and off the freeway....restaurants in the area are terrific.

Stayed here for our first trip to Boise. They upgraded us to a lofted room. What a wonderful surprise! The rooms are spacious and clean. Has a full kitchen. Felt like our own condo. Loved the complementary breakfast. Everyone was friendly. Would definitely be staying here next time.

We loved our stay at this Residence Inn! The rooms were spacious with everything we needed for the night. The bed and linens were comfortable. We enjoyed the hot breakfast with multiple healthy choices like fruit and steel-cut oats with various toppings. Every employee we encountered was friendly and helpful. We stayed near the back on the first floor and it was quiet there. Kudos to housekeeping as the room was immaculate! We'll be back.
