The SPARROW

Great place, especially for the price!

Our room was on alley side and on Fridays morning it is garbage day, very loud experience, unfortunately. Otherwise, room was fine.

We booked this because it had a great price for what we needed for a quick stay. The room was nice and clean. With nice clean bathroom and great wifi for those who need it. Was very pleased with it. The staff was really great and kind and they gave us our own parking so we didn't need to go find our own. Which was great. Would recommend even for longer stays.

We thought we would support a smaller boutique hotel while visiting family in Boise, but this hotel was a disappointment. We did not get a good nights sleep on any of the three nights we were there. Room backed up to a very noisy alley. Listened to garbage truck emptying dumpsters for at least two hours starting @ 3:45 am. Another night a group was drinking and talking loudly in the alley to the early morning hours. One morning we woke up at 5:30 am from rooms above us flushing their toilets and the water running through the plumbing several times. Hallway had a bad smell. Elevator was dirty. Never offered fresh towels or any other service. Not a place I will stay in again or recommend to anyone else.

Room, staff, location, parking all is always excellent. We have been staying at this hotel very often but THIS TIME, FOR THE FIRST TIME, the hallway on the second floor had a very strong smell. I was not able to figure out if was pi or vomite or wet carpet, but was very unpleasant even for one night. I will return for sure, but I am writing to make sure that the issue will be addressed. I love to stay there. Thank you
