#1 of 2 hotels in Boise State & Broadway by Axel's take. Boise State & Broadway is #2 of 6 places to stay in Boise. The best hotels in Boise State & Broadway, ranked · Where to stay in Boise

Axel's take: 8.4/10

A strong university-area base, but extra fees take the shine off. a practical 3-star near Boise State and the Greenbelt, scored for what it is.

This practical 3-star is a strong pick for Boise State visits and easy access to the Boise River Greenbelt. Recent Expedia and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly praise clean, comfortable rooms, helpful staff and a breakfast that delivers well for this class. Included parking, an airport shuttle and a heated outdoor pool make it a useful all-rounder rather than just somewhere to sleep.

The biggest frustration is the bill: Expedia lists both a nightly resort fee and a percentage service fee, and Tripadvisor guests have complained about unexpected charges. Check the full total before booking. Despite the university-area location, this isn't a downtown doorstep; recent Trip.com guests found a car useful. We'd choose it for campus trips and straightforward comfort, but skip it if walkable downtown evenings or fee-free simplicity are priorities.

  • Best for: Boise State visitors; families wanting breakfast and a pool; travelers exploring by car

  • Watch out for: nightly resort fee and percentage service fee; not in the downtown core; occasional noise near elevators

  • Location: Across from Greenbelt access and roughly a mile from Boise State; downtown is farther.

  • Rooms: Generally comfortable and spacious; request a room away from elevators if noise-sensitive.

  • Cleanliness: Strong overall feedback, with occasional reports of missed daily housekeeping.

  • Service: Friendly, accommodating staff are a consistent strength across review sites.

  • Amenities: Included breakfast, Wi-Fi and parking; heated outdoor pool, gym and airport shuttle with limited hours.

  • Fees and surprises: Expedia lists resort and service fees; IHG now allows dogs with fees, despite conflicting booking-site policies.
