I was in Boise for a memorial, not anything touristy. This particular location is in a walkable location for restaurants including Cheesecake Factory and IHOP. The area is clean and safe though with a high volume of traffic. It is quiet at the hotel though, because it is set a ways back from the street. Mine was an in-and-out visit, but the price was right, the room was spotless and I'm grateful for that.
