Questions families ask

Will we get two queen beds or two doubles?

Most rooms here have two queens, but Candlewood Suites Boise-Meridian has two full-size doubles, which offer less space for sharing. Some reservation descriptions call queen rooms “full doubles.” At Modern Hotel, Oxford Suites and Hampton Inn Boise - Airport, confirm the exact bed configuration before booking rather than relying on a generic quadruple-room label.

Which rooms give four people the most space?

Inn at 500 Capitol is the clearest spacious choice: its Standard Double Queen is listed at approximately 448 square feet. Candlewood's two-double studio has 377 square feet, while Hampton Boise/Spectrum has 344. Oxford's published sizes conflict substantially, so verify before relying on extra space. Hampton Boise-Meridian is much tighter, at roughly 200–205 square feet.

Can we add a crib or rollaway?

Don't assume either will fit just because a room sleeps four. Oxford lists free cribs but no rollaways. Modern offers both on request, with a rollaway fee and room-fit restrictions. Several other hotels have conflicting crib policies. Give the hotel every child's age and confirm availability, fees and permitted occupancy before relying on an extra bed.

How much more does a room for four cost?

There isn't a reliable same-night comparison here between a room for two and one for four, so a family-room surcharge can't be established. Holiday Inn Express Meridian-Boise west is the lowest-cost option among these rooms. Compare the final total, including parking and any extra fees; breakfast and a kitchen can also affect overall value.

Which Boise neighborhood works best for a family sharing one room?

Downtown suits families who want to walk to restaurants, parks and museums; consider Inn at 500 Capitol or Modern Hotel. Towne Square & Spectrum offers nearby dining but requires driving downtown. Meridian works for car-based trips and longer stays. The university area adds Greenbelt access, while airport hotels are practical for flight-focused overnights.
